“…However, they are typically characterized by “enormous resource consumptions and significant environmental impacts” [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In most cases, megaprojects, especially in the construction industry, can cause serious environmental problems [ 3 , 6 ], as evidenced by the environmental and ecological damage caused by The Baram River Dam and the Karakum Canal [ 7 , 8 ], and the social and environmental impacts of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway on the Tibetan Plateau [ 8 ]. Environmental protection has therefore become one of the most important concerns of megaproject organizations [ 9 ].…”

Construction megaprojects play a significant role in today’s infrastructure provision in terms of sustainable development, and their increasing proliferation worldwide means the environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) of those involved are becoming of vital importance. This study investigates how ERB can be best supported in megaprojects by first identifying the motivational factors that are involved based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), followed by a survey of 188 managers involved in China megaprojects to test the TPB model using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results strongly support the TPB model’s predictive ability, with subjective norms being the strongest predictors, followed by attitudes and perceived behavioral control. These findings provide support for decision makers in helping to cultivate and improve the level of megaproject ERB in China and many other such countries that are similarly involved.

“…This can have negative impacts on water resources and aquatic ecosystems, particularly in areas that are already experiencing water scarcity or where freshwater ecosystems are already under stress. For example, the construction of the hydropower Baram Dam in Malaysia has caused water use issues [19]. Due to worries about their effects on local ecosystems and indigenous groups, the construction of hydropower dams in Malaysia has been controversial.…”

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of renewable energy development in ASEAN, focusing on policies, environmental impact, and economic implications. It examines the effectiveness of renewable energy policies across member countries, highlighting challenges in implementation and the need for effective policy frameworks to drive investment. The review explores environmental concerns, including land use change, soil erosion, water use, and waste generation, while emphasizing the potential economic benefits such as GDP growth, job creation, and reduced dependence on energy imports. Addressing challenges and promoting sustainable development are crucial for achieving renewable energy targets in ASEAN.
