“…Meanwhile, reasonable compensation incentive and punishment scheme can be established to encourage managers to adopt green deconstruction method and design concept, and motivate practitioners to promote green DWM practices in various ways such as encouragement of innovative construction approaches for ease of future deconstruction . Finally, the locations of waste landfill site and recycling plants should be arranged reasonably so as to shorten the transport distance (Coelho and de Brito, 2013;E. Dosal, 2013;Feo and Gisi, 2014) while a standardized C&D waste transportation is necessary to improve the coordination among different transport management departments (Economopoulou et al, 2013;.…”

Waste materials generated from building demolition have become a great challenge to sustainable urban development due to its consumption of the limited landfill spaces, water pollution, energy consumption and harmful gas emissions. Proper management of demolition waste (DW) is a complex process and requires systematic thinking and analysis. Many methods have been proposed to study the environmental impact assessment of demolition waste management (DWM). However, it is found that the currently available studies pay little attention from the perspective of complex adaptive system (CAS) to consider the attitude and interaction of the heterogeneous stakeholders as well as the importance of green DWM which has a great influence on the effectiveness of DW management. The aim of this research is to simulate and explore how the change of attitude and the dynamic interaction among heterogeneous stakeholders can influence the environmental performance of DWM. To achieve this aim, a model for evaluating the environmental impact of DWM was developed by using an agent-based modeling (ABM) approach. The main factors considered in the model are the ratio of green deconstruction (i.e., building deconstruction) managers vs. conventional demolition (i.e. building destruction) managers, the ratio of green design managers (i.e. design for deconstruction) vs. conventional design managers, and the interaction behavior of heterogeneous stakeholders following the herd theory. In the model, the environmental impact assessment was quantified into four categories i.e. land resources, water resources, air resource and energy resources. The proposed model is demonstrated by using the data drawn from the Chinese construction industry. The results reveal that if the deconstruction method and the deconstruction oriented design are widely adopted by architects and engineers, the negative environmental impacts generated by DW can be reduced by at least 50%. Furthermore, the results provide valuable information for government departments to make decisions on how to improve environmental performance of DWM.

Urban mining offers an efficient supply of resources because of rich mines and low environmental impacts. Location selection and optimization for urban mining facilities is more complicated than for natural mines, given that it may vary according to the urban population, consumption habits, and economic development. China initiated the National Urban Mining Pilot Bases program in 2010 that targeted 50 national urban mining pilot bases, but unfortunately neglected the location planning issue. Twenty-eight bases have already been selected, which are concentrated in the central and eastern areas of China. This article combines the use of analytic hierarchy process, maximal covering location model, and geographical information systems (GIS) software to optimize locations for China's urban mining pilot bases. Primary findings show that, theoretically, 40 urban mining pilot bases can sufficiently provide maximum gross domestic product (GDP) and population coverage service for China. Taking the current 28 bases as a precondition and 50 bases as the remaining policy target, our second optimization results in a list of 22 cities for the location selection of future urban mining pilot bases. In total, the optimized 22 cities, together with the selected 28 bases, can provide a maximum 97.5% of GDP and 95.1% of population coverage in China. This study illustrates the optimization process for urban mining recycling facilities in general and provides policy advice for China in a specific case.

There has been a lack of proper decision making referring to the excavated soil transportation industry from urban metro construction areas and around metropolis Bangkok due to the implemented heavy truck ban on certain streets. Therefore, this research aims to develop a decision making model to support the metro tunnel excavation project engineer with a decision system. This will aid the excavated soil transportation solving the problem of insufficient sail reserves at the construction site, and save transportation costs within the time constraints. This will be achieved by applying qualitative decision criteria affecting the operation in Bangkok by developing an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model. This model also applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to calculate the optimal transportation costs and the related qualitative criteria to help increase the decision makers' flexibility in various cases.Please cite this article as: W.
