“…Besides, the expert opinion and literature findings marked that financial ambiguities need to be addressed appropriately for the consultants and other related parties to encourage the industry stakeholders to utilise circular economy applications in the sustainable development perspective (Adams et al, 2017a;Becerra et al, 2020;Cantu et al, 2021;El Asmar et al, 2018;Gupta, 2019;Halog et al, 2021;Ogunmakinde, 2019;Springvloed, 2021). In addition to the literature findings, the empirical study suggested that benchmarking and validation are also crucial in the monetary aspects of circular economy applications.…”

“…Explicitly, there is a lack of an assessment tool to evaluate the economic benefits of circular economy alternative (Adams et al, 2017a;Cantu et al, 2021;Gupta, 2019;Halog et al, 2021;Ogunmakinde, 2019;Springvloed, 2021). Conversely, Saidani et al (2017) declare that several tools are currently used to evaluate the organisational, social and environmental performance of circular economy models, whilst Sassanelli et al (2019) mention Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Design for X, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) and Input-Output (I-O) as the example tools.…”

PurposeThe circular economy concept emerged as the resolution to the destructive linear economy practices. Nevertheless, the transition to a circular built environment is hindered due to the ambiguities of the economic value of the concept. Conversely, numerous decision-making tools are applied in the construction industry in assessing economic alternatives, even if there is a gap in utilising these tools in appraising circular economic practices. Hence, this study investigates the potential benefits of applying proven decision-making practices, particularly criteria scoring matrices, in developing circular built environments.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative approach was followed to achieve the aim of the study. A conceptual design of a criteria scoring matrix was developed with a comprehensive literature survey. Semi-structured interviews of a three-round Delphi expert survey were employed to assess the matrix qualitatively and develop the matrix further. Data were analysed using the content analysis method.FindingsThe lack of a value assessment tool in economically assessing the circular economy principles is a key barrier to transcending to a circular built environment. In addressing this issue, this study develops a criteria scoring matrix for circularity value assessment during the design stage of a construction project.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the theory by developing a criteria scoring matrix to measure the economic contribution of circular economy principles. Further, this research contributes to the practice by allowing construction alternatives to be selected, balancing the potential economic return options of a project with the project's contribution to a circular economy.

“…May [45], for example, used the theory to investigate the obstacles to the implementation and application of performancebased seismic engineering technologies. Similarly, Ogunmakinde [46] used diffusion of innovation theory to develop a circular economy waste prevention guideline for adoption in the construction industry in Nigeria. This suggests that the theory is suitable for studying the uptake of BIS in New Zealand.…”

Demystifying the Barriers and Motivators for the Adoption of Base Isolation Systems in New Zealand

et al. 2022

A base isolator is a proven system that can significantly reduce any damage to a building in the event of an earthquake. Despite their efficacy, seismic isolators are not widely used in New Zealand, with only about forty systems in use during the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury Earthquakes. This study seeks to investigate why base isolation systems are not frequently used in seismic strengthening projects and buildings in New Zealand. It also focuses on determining ways in which seismic isolators could become more widely used in New Zealand due to increased seismic activity. This study used an exploratory sequential mixed method design, in which qualitative data were collected first through in-depth face-to-face interviews, analysed, and used to construct the quantitative instrument, which was an online questionnaire. Data were obtained from construction professionals such as architects, engineers, site-based construction personnel, and quantity surveyors. The findings of this study indicated the need for an increased awareness of base isolation systems and improved universal guidelines for the design of seismic isolators. The motivators identified include provision of monetary incentives, such as reduced insurance premiums and financial subsidies, to encourage the adoption of seismic isolators. The factors preventing the adoption of base isolation systems in New Zealand were classified as human-related, safety and design-related, and cost-related. The study’s implication is that providing a universal guideline for seismic isolators can enhance designers’ confidence. Likewise, incentives may be provided to property owners to lower the cost of implementing a base isolation system.
