“…A multi-criteria evaluation method was proposed by Konidari and Mavrakis [72], which has been commonly used to evaluate of climate policies (among others, [9,73,74]). Such analysis compares the policy options against a plurality of environmental, economic and procedural criteria to identify options that would not only be feasible but also effective in overcoming present shortcomings and avoiding them in the future.…”

Motivated by the recent blockchain technology originally built for bitcoin transactions, various industries are exploring the opportunities to redefine their existing operational systems. In this study, an innovative environmentally sustainable solution is proposed for the fashion apparel manufacturing industry (FAMI), which is energized by blockchain. Incorporating the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), and a novel "emission link" system, the proposed framework exposes carbon emission to the public and establishes a feature to reduce the emissions for all key steps of clothing making. Fully compatible with Industry 4.0, blockchain provides decentralization, transparency, automation, and immutability characteristics to the proposed framework. Specifically, the blockchain supported ETS framework, the carbon emissions of clothing manufacturing life cycle, and the emission link powered procedures are introduced in detail. A case study is provided to demonstrate the carbon emission evaluation procedure. Finally, a multi-criteria evaluation is performed to demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of the proposed system.

“…Several issues also exist in comparing or prioritizing several alternatives for decision making, such as how to make trade‐offs among socio‐political, environmental, and economic factors and how to deal with indicators with different forms and units. Multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) methods can be adopted to address these issues and thus provide solid and logical backbone for the model (Khoshnava et al, ; Talukder, Hipel, & vanLoon, ). Various MCDM methods have been adopted in various decision making situations, such as analytical hierarchy process (AHP; Ren, Manzardo, Mazzi, Zuliani, & Scipioni, ; Sambasivan & Fei, ; Thanki, Govindan, & Thakkar, ; Tseng, Lin, & Chiu, ), ELECTRE (Hatami‐Marbini & Tavana, ; Kaya & Kahraman, ; Wen, Yu, & Yan, ), TOPSIS (Joshi & Kumar, ; Kaya & Kahraman, ; Kluczek & Gladysz, ), and PROMETHEE (Arıkan, Şimşit‐Kalender, & Vayvay, ; Athawale & Chakraborty, ; Ren et al, ).…”

In order to facilitate the shift towards sustainability in the building industry, development of building‐specific sustainability assessment tools that evaluate and integrate related environmental and socioeconomic impacts is needed. Existing assessment tools mainly focus on environmental and economic issues and give limited consideration on social sustainability. This study fills this gap through proposing an integrated building‐specific sustainability assessment model. This model was developed based on a conceptual model of life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA), which is theoretically a combination of environmental life cycle assessment, life cycle cost analysis, and social life cycle assessment. An integrated AHP‐ELECTRE approach was adopted to provide a logical backbone for the model. This LCSA model is demonstrated through a case study to choose the best alternative regarding sustainability from three structural designs, that is, modular construction‐based, semiprefabricated, and conventional designs. Results show that semiprefabricated design is the best option in the context of this study.

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Solve Environmental Sustainability Problems: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2017

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
