“…For instance, interval value fuzzy ANP (IVF-ANP) [25] is developed to solve MCDM problems by the determined weights of criteria, while rough AHP is proposed to measure the system performance [32], [33], and to solve the problem of selection. Fuzzy AHP is integrated [34], [35], and rough-neuro fuzzy [36] is developed for pattern classification. The purpose of these hybrid methods is to overcome the limitation of the original proposed method in making decisions.…”

Abstract. Rough set theory (RST) is one of the data mining tools, which have many capabilities such as to minimize the size of an input data and to produce sets of decision rules from a set of data. RST is also one of the great techniques used in dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty of datasets. It was introduced by Z. Pawlak in 1997 and until now, there are many researchers who really make use of its advantages either to make an enhancement of the RST or to apply in various research areas such as in decision analysis, pattern recognition, machine learning, intelligent systems, inductive reasoning, data preprocessing, knowledge discovery, and expert systems. This paper presents a recent study on the elementary concepts of RST and its implementation in the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems.

“…there are also several legal regulations about safety and health practices, environment, governmental agencies and others without legal regulations like "lobbies" or individual citizens. These factors could influence the project management success and the promoter's decisions (Parfitt, Sanvido 1993;Jha, Iyer 2006;Dutta, Husain 2009). Walker (2007) defines a model of the construction process divided in 3 subsystems, conception, inception and realisation.…”

“…The opinion survey contribution and their recommendations were also considered in the thematic contents of the management system. These 4 areas consist of 15 indicators with 50 thematic parameters encompassing strategies (Menassa 2011;Dutta, Husain 2009), solutions for constraints, best practices used in building retrofitting and legal requirements (Fig. 2).…”

ABSTRACT. The retrofitting works in old buildings require appropriate knowledge of the vernacular techniques. Previous researches have identified retrofitting works as more intrusive and using more unnecessary demolition materials than real needs. This study constitutes a new framework that focuses on the project management success of old building retrofitting in historical centres by developing a methodological system for this purpose. It uses a construction sector system approach, reviews legal requirements, framework specifications, recommendation practices and sustainable measures adapted to old building projects. It presents 50 parameters adapted to these works' specificities that could be used by construction market stakeholders. The research uses a case study methodology divided in two parts. The first one involves the review of building retrofitting projects in historical centres, complemented by a questionnaire in the second part. The results of the projects review have shown little concern with the underlying sustainability aspects of retrofitting works in all project designs analysed. However, the questionnaire results have revealed a high interest and applicability of all parameters omitted in the project designs data. The study describes a useful management system in a toolkit format which might contribute to reduce uncertainty in the management of retrofitting projects in historical centres.

“…Criteria used to assess the adaptation potential of existing buildings have been researched by a range of academics (Bullen and Love, 2010;Dutta and Husain, 2009;Kutut et al, 2014;Lin and Low, 2012;Wilkinson et al, 2014 The Transformation Meter was designed in the Netherlands for asset managers to assess rapidly the adaptation potential of vacant office buildings in their portfolio to residential dwellings (Geraedts and Van der Voordt, 2007). The tool is divided into five stages which require yes/no answers.…”

This paper considers why the decision may be made either to demolish or adapt existing buildings on brownfield sites and compares real-life decisions to those produced by theoretical design-support tools. Five case studies, including three individual buildings and two master plan sites of multiple buildings, were investigated through interviews with stakeholders. Reasons for retention included heritage value, architectural quality and government incentives, while reasons for demolition included maximising land value, lack of architectural significance and poor building condition. The analysis showed that the theoretical tools were useful for their intended purpose of analysing a portfolio of assets but that they could be improved by providing higher weightings for heritage values and extending the tools to assess different end uses and forms of adaptation. By testing the tools on master plan sites, the paper also identifies urban design variables, such as land efficiency, which would need to be incorporated for this purpose.
