Despite the fact that completion of construction projects has a direct positive impact on the growth of national and local economies as well as humans' wellbeing, construction projects, especially in the urban areas, generate serious environmental nuisances for the adjacent residents and have unintentional adverse impacts on their surrounding environment. Construction causative adverse impacts on the neighbouring communities are known as the social costs. This study aims to present a state-of-the-art overview of social costs in construction industry in terms of definition, consideration, classification and quantification. Furthermore, it is aimed to bring the construction social cost phenomenon for the agenda of Environmental Impact Assessors.

Social Impact Assessment of Circular Construction: Case of Living Lab Ghent Kayaçetin, Nuri Cihan; Piccardo, Chiara; Versele, Alexis (2023-01-01) The construction industry is considered to have a high potential in achieving the sustainable development goals. The circular economy is a promising framework that supports the shift from a linear-construction industry to an environmental-friendly and efficient sector. On the other hand, there is a lack of effort in measuring the impact of construction-related activities on users and society. The gap is greater when the context of social impacts is related to circular and bio-based construction. For this pu...
Development of an IT-based tool for portfolio assessment and management for construction companies Bilgin, Gözde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Özorhon Orakçal, Beliz; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Development in the construction industry has leaded most of the construction companies to undertake more complex projects than before, which are generally executed concurrently. Therefore, project management routines of the companies may not support effective management of multi-projects. Project portfolio management approach has been suggested to meet requirements for coordinating multi-projects to meet strategic objectives under limited resources. Since project portfolio management requires a comprehensiv...
Risk Management of Construction Projects by Implementation of Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling Coşkun, Cansu; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (2021-02-01) Construction projects are exposed to the various risk factors through their life-cycle due to their unique and complex nature. Risk factors in the construction projects can be either country or project related, which may significantly affect the predetermined construction project objectives regarding time, budget, orscope. Therefore, it is inevitable to develop risk mitigation strategies to manage risk factors in advance. There are various risk management methods to manage construction risks, yet this study...
Attitude of Turkish and Middle Eastern architecture engineering construction (AEC) industry toward integrated project delivery (IPD) method Sharefi Abadi, Ali; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Some of the 21th century’s controversial issues in construction industry are inability in completing the projects in schedule or budget, insufficient architectural drawings (according to the owners), inadequacy in decreasing the waste, tremendous energy consumption of buildings and inefficiency in controlling carbon emissions from buildings. Nonetheless, adversarial relationships between participants are a fatal factor in any project’s success. Unfortunately, previous project delivery methods incapable of s...
Lean Project Management using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Ersöz, Ahmet Bahaddin; Pekcan, Onur; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (2019-02-01) As the construction industry is one of the dominant contributors to the world’s total CO2 emissions and it has huge negative impacts on the environment, sustainable construction has become a key aspiration in the field. Through utilizing eco-friendly design and resource efficiency, sustainable construction is considered as the main concept to create and operate a healthy built environment. Although sustainability has been demonstrated as a timeless objective for continuous development in Turkey’s government...
