This paper presents the investigation of client-related factor towards delay in public projects by applying qualitative research method approach. Semi-structured interview was conducted involving contractor, architect and consultant with experience in project delay. The investigation managed to discover factors of delay which were ranked by using content analysis. The most significant client-related factor is a poor planning at initial stage by client, followed by late of payment by client, lack of awareness by client on latest progress done by staff, improper consultant selection by client, client select contractor with a weak cash flow, poor attitude of contractor selected by client, late of payment by client, lack of knowledge by client, new proposal request by new hired officer and lack of financial strength. This finding is very useful for practitioners in construction sector and very important for practitioners to be aware on these factors and focus to improve the cause of delay among client.
This exploratory study uses systematic reviews of published journal papers from 2018 to 2022 to identify research trends and present a comprehensive overview of disaster management research within the context of humanitarian logistics. This review is guided by the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) review method. A systematic review of Scopus and the Web of Science turned up 23 related studies. Further review of these articles revealed nine main themes and produced a total of 42 sub-themes. Findings reveal that little attention has been devoted to the study of the information needs of humanitarian logistics during disaster response. The majority of previous research focused on disaster management before, during, and after disasters without comprehensively exploring the information required by humanitarian logistics providers for effective logistics support for disaster victims. The trends show that the information based on logistics needs presented is not significant. This study contributes to understanding past, present, and future research agendas and provides insight into current research status in information based on logistics needs in disaster management. Recommendations are highlighted related to using qualitative data analysis software, such as NVivo or Atlas.ti, as an analysis tool and practicing complementary searching techniques, such as citation tracking, reference searching, snowballing, and contacting experts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
