“…It means that there is lack of common reference point in establishing these factors, and this study is a suggestion in this respect.

The broad aim of this paper is to provide a detailed understanding of the post-war problems associated with materials for reconstruction in Libya, and to identify key problems and obstructions. Theoretical and empirical studies are being conducted in Libya. The theoretical study focuses on materials for construction and the key issues such as sources, transport and storage of materials, as well as their impact on the national economy, the nation's socio-economic development and the environment. This empirical study employed questionnaires, observations and a series of interviews with researchers, academics, suppliers and manufacturers, supported by the researcher's three decades of experience of working in the construction industry and its associated processes and operations. The empirical study illustrated that materials for post-disaster reconstruction in Libya suffer from external problems related to policies and decision-making in terms of availability of materials, fluctuation of prices of materials, specifications, building codes, legislation and regulations, and internal problems related to the construction and building material's key players: construction companies, consultancy firms, manufacturers and suppliers.

“…Además, su trabajo ha tenido repercusión posterior al ser tomado como referencia para hacer algunas comparaciones nacionales (Asad y Dainty, 2005;Olomolaiye y Price, 1989a), internacionales (con Nigeria en Olomolaiye y Ogunlana, 1988; con Tailandia en Ogunlana y Chang, 1998 y con Indonesia en Kaming et al, 1998), así como entre operarios y directivos (Price, 1992). Wilson (1979) concluyó que las necesidades de seguridad y las necesidades sociales son los mayores motivadores para los trabajadores de la construcción (Asad y Dainty, 2005: 3;Olomolaiye et al, 1998: 175).…”
