“…SD has become an environmental topic for discussion among the scientific community for many years; however, there is minimal consensus on what it means and the requirements for its promotion (Baker 2016, Adebowale and Agumba 2023, Goubran et al 2023. According to Olakitan Atanda (2019), the first ideology of SD was given by the Brundtland Commission in 1987.…”

Despite being established in Vietnam for over a decade, LOTUS has not achieved the same popularity as other international green building rating systems (GBRS), such as LEED and Singapore's Green Mark (GM). Consequently, concerns about its effectiveness persist. This study employed a systematic literature review to compare and analyse the effectiveness of LOTUS against LEED and GM rating systems. The findings revealed that LEED was the most widely adopted GBRS in Vietnam. While the primary criteria identified across all three systems were energy, water, materials, and indoor environment, the critical aspect of sustainability was environmental. Although GM placed a greater emphasis on sustainability and climate-responsive design, LEED and LOTUS prioritised site location. These results suggest that the late introduction and complexities surrounding the initial versions of LOTUS significantly contributed to its limited popularity in Vietnam. To enhance its effectiveness, this study recommends that the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) increase its engagement with green building researchers and construction stakeholders both within and outside Vietnam, with the aim of simplifying its approach. A more user-friendly and streamlined version of LOTUS will likely encourage adoption by Vietnamese construction practitioners, thereby raising awareness of green building practices in Vietnam.

“…In this context, studies have primarily focused on developing indicators for assessing the sustainability of infrastructure projects (Stanitsas et al, 2021;Verma & Raghubanshi, 2018). Besides studies on the development of indicators, there have also been studies undertaken on themes such as developing methodology for identifying sustainability assessment indicators (Devuyst, 1999;Fernández-Sánchez & Rodríguez-López, 2010), and integrating sustainability in decision-making at all stages of a project's life cycle (Adebowale & Agumba, 2023;Rosasco & Sdino, 2023). They are designed, however, to evaluate whether the projects contribute to sustainability at a certain stage of the project life cycle (Kalbar & Das, 2020;Mirabella et al, 2019;Rosasco & Sdino, 2023;Toniolo et al, 2020).…”

“…It has become increasingly apparent from the scholarly literature that the construction industry impacts the environment (Chan et al, 2009;Wieser et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021) as well as social and economic life (Stanitsas et al, 2021), and this issue is becoming increasingly significant. It has been argued that construction sustainability is fundamental to the achievement of sustainable development (Adebowale & Agumba, 2023;Sharaf, 2023;Shen et al, 2007).…”

“…As of now, there are no standard frameworks that can be used to achieve these goals; however, the tools that are used in the literature studies can lay the foundation for the development of such a framework (Adebowale & Agumba, 2023). This study is a review of the prevailing sustainability assessment tools and methods associated with infrastructure projects.…”

In the context of sustainable development, urban transformation should encourage the use of life cycle thinking tools for infrastructure development. By adopting sustainable economic, social, and environmental criteria, this study presents a review of sustainability assessment tools to build a framework for urban infrastructure. It incorporates a variety of methods that economists and industrial ecologists use for evaluating their projects, in addition to the LCT approach. To recognize the strategic sustainability indicators and criteria, the framework uses LCC, LCA, and SLCA in conjunction with stakeholder evaluation and multi-criteria decision analysis, which recognizes the foremost three pillars of sustainability, i.e., economy, environment, and society. Additionally, system dynamics and agent-based modelling are used to optimise the framework. The prominence of the framework is to understand the route an urban infrastructure development should follow to achieve key sustainability interests involving the interconnected environmental and socio-economic aspects. This sustainability assessment framework can be utilised by consultants or supporting agencies to help organisations carry out and monitor such projects.
