Determination of Important Building Construction Nuisances in Residential Areas on Neighbouring Community

In construction industry, there is poor stakeholder management.  However, the stakeholders play important roles in the completion of construction projects in line with their individual concerns and needs. Therefore stakeholders’ needs and concerns should be identified and managed carefully in order to complete a construction project successfully. In this study, it is attempted to obtain the nuisances created by building construction in residential areas on one of the external stakeholders, namely neighbouring community. For this purpose, a questionnaire is undertaken with 266 respondents among the external stakeholders of building constructions in different cities in north Cyprus. A structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to identify the important adverse impacts of construction of building projects to the neighbouring community. The results show that the adverse impacts of building construction are perceived by external stakeholders as disturbing. In addition, the conditions and culture of the region play an important role in the intensity of adverse impacts.
