“…'Lack of client demand' ranked as the other joint 6th most significant barrier to be overcome for successful adoption of SC practices in Cambodia. The relative importance of this barrier aligns with the outcomes reported by Korkmaz et al [75]. Also, Serpell et al [6] reported that client demand has a significant influence on encouraging practitioners to implement SC practices on their projects.…”

Abstract:Although sustainability is of utmost importance, anecdotal evidence suggests that the concept is not adequately implemented in many developing countries. This paper investigates industry stakeholders' awareness of the current state of, factors driving, and barriers hindering the adoption of sustainable construction (SC) in Cambodia. Using an empirical questionnaire survey targeting local construction professionals, respondents were invited to rate their level of awareness, knowledge and understanding of SC, as well as to rate the level of importance of 31 drivers and 10 barriers identified from the seminal literature. The data set was subjected to the relative importance index method. The results suggest that the industry-wide adoption of SC practices is poor, which is believed to be due to a lack of awareness and knowledge, and reluctance to adopt new sustainable technologies. Furthermore, more efforts must be put into the selection of more durable materials for the extension of buildings' lives and to minimize material consumption, as well as to develop energy-efficient buildings with minimal environmental impact and a healthy indoor environment, so that the ability of future generations to meet their own needs will not be compromised. The outcomes of this study have enriched knowledge about the current state of, drivers of, and barriers to sustainable construction in a typical developing economy. Although the outcomes of this study were a short scoping exercise, it has formed a significant base for future SC work within Cambodia.

“…This is also acknowledged among building stakeholders who describe project owners as key change agents for sustainable design and construction (Ahn, et al, 2013). The active participation and involvement of project owners in the delivery of green building projects, also regarded as owner commitment (Franz, et al, 2011;Korkmaz, 2007;Olanipekun, Chan, Xia, & Ameyaw, 2017), and can ensure successful delivery performance (Bornais, 2012). Despite their contributions, the motivation of project owners for delivering green building projects is currently unknown, and it requires further research (Beheiry, et al, 2006).…”

“…In this study, the concept of motivation for instance, can be explained through various theories of motivation (See Ryan and Deci, 2000), while owner commitment and delivery performance can be approached with different research methodologies and analysed with different methods (See Korkmaz, 2007). Thus, the pragmatic philosophy is better suited, and adopted in this study (Ahmed, Opoku, & Aziz, 2016).…”

“…In addition, the effect of control variables such as project type, location and type of ownership on different performance metrics is evaluated. This is very essential in order to understand the characteristics of the project or those that exist within the project environment that can influence the delivery performance of green building projects (Korkmaz, 2007).…”

“…During the last years several research studies analyzed different project management issues related to green-building developments. Their main goal was to optimize the project management process for developing green-building projects focusing on different aspects, such as counterfactual analysis (Klotz et al, 2009), Lean processes (Lapinski et al, 2006), and piloting evaluation metrics (Korkmaz et al, 2010).…”
