Abstract: | Due to the increasing population and earth pollution, managing construction and
infrastructure projects with less damage to the environment and less pollution is very important.
Sustainable development aims at reducing damage to the environment, making projects economical,
and increasing comfort and social justice. This study proposes fuzzy analytic hierarchy process
(AHP) and improved grey relational analysis (GRA) to assess construction projects based on the
sustainable development criteria. For doing so, sustainable development criteria are first identified
in economic, social, and environmental dimensions using literature review, and are then customized
for urban construction projects using experts’ opinions. After designing questionnaires and
collecting data, fuzzy AHP is used for determining the importance of sustainable development criteria
and their subcriteria. Then, improved GRA is employed for assessing six recreational, commercial,
and official centers in Isfahan regarding the weights of criteria and subcriteria. The proposed
fuzzy AHP-improved GRA help us to prioritize construction projects based on the sustainable
development criteria. The results of applying fuzzy AHP show that the weights of economic,
social, and environmental criteria are equal to 0.330, 0.321, and 0.349, respectively, which are
close to each other. This means that the importance of all three aspects of sustainability is almost
equal to each other. Furthermore, “Having profits for the society”, “Increasing social justice”, and
“Adherence to environmental policies” are identified as the most important indicators of sustainable
development in terms of economic, social, and environmental aspects, respectively. Finally, the results
of employing improved GRA determine Negin Chaharbagh recreational and commercial complex as
the best project. |
