Sustainable Sand Substitutes in the Construction Industry in the United States and Canada: Assessing Stakeholder Awareness

et al. 2022

The United Nations has declared a global sand crisis, called for reduced sand consumption, and proposed solutions to address the crisis, including adopting sustainable substitutes for sand. The construction industry is a major consumer of sand, yet a recent study found a very low level of awareness by stakeholders of the crisis. The purpose of this study is to assess the familiarity of construction industry stakeholders with 27 sand substitute materials, grouped into five components that emerged from a factor analysis. Data were collected using a survey designed by the authors. Respondents consisted of 156 construction industry professionals located in 35 US states and 7 Canadian provinces. Stakeholders were classified according to a framework considering the level of power and interest of each stakeholder in sustainable construction projects. Hypotheses of no differences in awareness for two types of stakeholder groups were generally supported. First, no differences were found for decision makers responsible for ordering sand vs. non-decision makers. Second, for professional roles, academics were more familiar with some substitutes than those in other roles. The article concludes with implications for research and practice, with recommendations on how to increase awareness of sand substitutes among stakeholders in the construction industry.

“…Its activities include the preparation of the Term of Reference (TOR) as a guide for the success of a design [16]; details of work units, work sequences, resource estimates, duration estimates, and finalization of the project schedule for determining the estimated cost of each activity; preparation of quality management plans with compliance checks with General and Technical Specifications [12]. Given that construction activities have a significant impact on the three pillars of sustainability, namely environmental, economic, and socio-cultural [17], urban park construction projects require design guidelines and operational principles that designers understand, can be applied in the design process and can be implemented in the context of the site at the level of each scale [18], especially regarding the elaboration of the concept of sustainability [10,11]. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to natural factors, social factors, design considerations, and maintenance [19].…”

Development of City Parks is one of the targets of the Green City Action Plan in Indonesia to realize the strategy towards 30% Green Open Space. City Parks are also needed by the community for outdoor activities without paying. Its existence can improve the quality of life and the environment. Currently the City Park in Jakarta has not fulfilled this function optimally (less quality). This study aims to reveal the management of the implementation of the City Park development project in Jakarta and find out the root causes of the implementation failure. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, supported by observations and structured interviews. The study results show that the root cause is the unavailability of definitions and targets that refer to the application of sustainable principles in green planning and design; there is no clear regulation on the application of sustainable green open spaces and the lack of optimal involvement of stakeholders in green communities as attributes of the Green City Action Plan. It cause the pre-construction stage did not go well. City Park becomes ineligible. This is the basis for corrective measures for the successful management of the City Park development project.

“…GPP is decisive in endeavors for diminishing the environmental consequences from construction sector-related goods, services, and operations, and in bringing about ecofriendly and innovative social value in the interest of a more sustainable economy [18]. The construction industry is instrumental in sustainable development via green procurement of construction works [19]. Adaptive recycling of buildings is decisive in the shift from a resource-based economy to a circular one in the construction sector, possibly increasing the additional utility and value of present assets via green design procedures (e.g., selective disassembly planning) [20].…”

Environmentally Responsible Behavior and Sustainability Policy Adoption in Green Public Procurement

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research has identified that there is a paucity of reviews covering green public procurement (GPP) in terms of environmentally responsible behavior and sustainability policy adoption. Using, comprehensively, the most recent (2017–2020) and relevant (Web of Science- and Scopus-indexed) empirical sources, our paper fills the gap in the literature by focusing on the main developing streams of research, that is: How GPP drives the circular economy; GPP of construction and building materials; environmental and supply chain management measures in GPP; the procurement of sustainable innovation; environmental policy objectives of GPP as regards energy, pollution, carbon footprint, and climate change; GPP as an environmental policy mechanism for production and use of sustainable goods and services; and GPP as an integral component of sustainable development and performance. Further investigations can explore hot topics related to the role of GPP in the automated algorithmic decision-making processes taking place in data-driven smart sustainable cities because the harnessing, among other things, of sensing and computing technologies, network connectivity systems, and the Cognitive Internet of Things will fulfill the incessant exigencies of public administration.
