Practical Approaches Toward Sustainable Development in Iranian Green Construction

Abstract

Developed nations acknowledge sustainable development as a legal right for current and future generations. Although instances of domestic and international efforts are prevalent, there is a long way to go before accomplishing developmental ideals. A practical approach for realizing the vital goals of sustainable development is of the utmost importance. In effect, the construction sector requires extensive forward-looking studies for strategizing, building and granting a sustainable future. The inconsistency between the goals and activities of different sectors is a main impediment upon undertaking sustainable development’s goals; decision and lawmakers must consider the purpose and interests of the building industry on a micro and macro level. This paper is a brief review for understanding the concept of sustainable development and illustrates some of the international efforts, and highlights them for decision makers. Using the ‘PESTLE’ analysis technique, external and internal factors influencing sustainability in the Iranian construction sector were identified. Interviews were conducted with experts using the ‘Snowball’ research method due to the lack of knowledgeable respondents in the subject area. 11 Practical steps needed in Iran were recommended and sorted by their importance to make this vision a reality. The results can be generalized to other disciplines as well.

Governance and Practices for Achieving Sustainable and Resilient Urban Water Services

“…Sequential PESTEL and SWOT analysis are mainly used in specific project strategy and action planning as a basis of decision-making. They have been used in infrastructure and energy projects, especially when evaluating environmental components (e.g., [33][34][35]. In water initiatives, they have been used, e.g., by Srdjevic et al [32] in a reconstruction of a water intake structure and Ortega et al [36] in river basin management.…”

The development of a Nexus based green architecture ranking system in Iran

“…"Thee 1987 Berndland convention defined sustainable development as "meeting the contemporary generation's desires without compromising destiny generations' capability to meet their needs." [5] Brandland's file explains: "Sustainable development is a set of approaches to create and maintain improvement that seeks to alleviate poverty, create the requirements of just life, meet the fundamental wishes of everybody, and create sustainable political practices for all." "It takes the essential steps to save it for you.…”

“…The most well-known ranking systems inside the location that are presently diagnosed by way of the new projects are Stidama advanced by the Abu Dhabi urban making plans Council, ARZ developed by way of the Lebanese green building council, and GSAS, evolved by using the Qatari government, and MABHAS-19 evolved through the Iranian Engineering associationv [18]. the prevailing study seeks to research those systems collectively with a valid project from every one of them, due to the fact the full fee of infrastructure and capital projects planned and implemented within the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations in 2015 is worth 172 billion USD -the highest document to date, consistent with the annual report posted by way of the Deloitte Middle East Institute [5].…”

Study on Settlement and Deformation of Urban Viaduct Caused by Subway Station Construction under Complicated Conditions

“…e construction of the small-distance project has caused a certain number of engineering accidents and engineering disasters, which has seriously affected the urban environment and the life of urban residents. Many scholars have carried out a great deal of research work on urban safe construction and green construction [1][2][3]. A lot of scholars have carried out the related research work on subway safety construction [4][5][6].…”
