Developing a hierarchical framework for assessing the strategic effectiveness of sustainable waste management in Somaliland construction industry

Abstract

This study contributes to the literature by developing a hierarchical framework for assessing the strategic effectiveness of waste management in the construction industry. This study identifies a valid set of strategic effectiveness attributes of sustainable waste management in construction. Prior studies have neglected to develop sustainable waste management's strategic effectiveness assessment framework to identify reuse and recycle policy initiatives that ensure waste minimization and resource recovery programs. This study utilizes the fuzzy Delphi method to screen out nonessential attributes in qualitative information. Fuzzy interpretive structural modeling divides the attributes into various elements. It constructs a multilevel model that depicts the interrelationships among the attributes into a hierarchical framework and finds and ranks the optimal drivers for practical improvement. This study integrates the best-worst method to measure different criteria’ weights in the hierarchical strategic effectiveness framework. The findings reveal that waste management operations strategy, construction site waste management performance, and mutual coordination are the top aspects for assessing strategic effectiveness in the hierarchical framework. In practice, the waste reduction rate, recycling rate, reuse rate and noise and air pollution levels are identified to assist policymakers in evaluation. The theoretical and managerial implications are discussed
