“…While most of these studies assume a passive stance, by just documenting the evolution of networks [10,[15][16][17]36], some authors explore the dynamic potential of SNA by implementing changes to the network (structure, actors, ties) and documenting the impacts of those modifications in subsequent representations. The impact of these changes is measured in terms of resources, sustainability, governance [39], and risk performance [28,43].…”

“…The sources of data for the studies were also analyzed (Figure 4). Some articles refer to the use of mixed-methods approaches [19,[28][29][30][31][32][33], but the leading source was secondary data, with a 44% prevalence in the sample. Interviews (in-depth, semi-structured, and with experts) followed and were carried out in 31% of the studies.…”

“…Refs. [28,43] apply SNA to the study of the risks associated with the field of prefabricated constructions, thus revealing the importance of this methodology, not only for identifying risk factors but also for tracking and controlling how these are associated with different stakeholders. Tang, Wang, Miao, and Zhang [16], using SNA, explained that the actors' importance varies according to the phase of the construction project, so that, initially, government and property elements are more important, but at a later stage of the project, the group of actors involved more directly with the construction constitutes the most important stakeholder, verifying the social dynamics of the network.…”

Background: Supply chains, characterized by complexity and sensitivity, require continuous mapping to address challenges, particularly disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, Social Network Analysis (SNA) has proven valuable in analyzing how actors in a network connect and create interdependencies. However, some studies suggest that the SNA literature needs to embrace new fields of application and develop innovative metrics. Methods: The aim of this study is to clarify the role and contribution of SNA when characterizing and understanding the challenges of contemporary supply chains. A literature review was conducted to achieve this. Results: The results reveal that SNA has been applied in a wide variety of areas (e.g., manufacturing and construction sectors), with an emerging application in the tertiary sector. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that metrics related to the network and to nodes have been used repeatedly, highlighting the need for new supply-chain-related metrics, such as the novel concept of semi-directedness. Conclusions: Despite the versatility of SNA, some aspects may limit its application to supply chain management, including shortcomings in data acquisition and the fact that SNA only allows for the visualization of network configurations, thus preventing the capture of nuances that characterize the relationships between the actors involved.

“…Gong et al also used social network analysis (SNA) to create a risk network but focused only on AC in less developed regions of China. the study found that AC in these regions is still in the early stages of development, and developers generally lack a dominant role [ 19 ]. Hsu et al developed risk models to capture changes in assembly site requirements for risk aversion but focussed on schedule risk.…”

Occupational injuries in the construction industry have plagued many countries, and many cases have shown that accidents often occur because of a combination of project participants. Assembled construction (AC) projects have received extensive attention from Chinese scholars as a future trend, but few studies have explored the interrelationships and potential risks of various stakeholders in depth. This study fills this research gap by proposing a multi-stakeholder AC risk framework. The study surveyed 396 stakeholders, then analyzed the collected data and created a risk framework based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and the CRITIC weighting method. The results revealed that factors like "regular supervision is a formality," "blindly approving the wrong safety measures," and "failure to organize effective safety education and training." are vital risks in AC of China. Finally, the study validates the risk factors and the framework with 180 real-life cases, which shows that the proposed framework is theoretically grounded and realistic. The study also suggests multi-level strategies such as introducing AI-based automated risk monitoring, improving the adaptability of normative provisions to technological advances, and advancing the culture of project communities of interest to ensure AC’s safe practices.

“…The building life cycle theory [36] was proposed by Bekker in the 1980s, the essence of which was the material flow cycle in the construction process and all stages of construction activities. The construction project life cycle includes planning, design, construction, O&M, and demolition stages, which interact with each other [37]. Canto-Perello and Curiel-Esparza believed that O&M would become the key whole life cycle factor for UUT development [38].…”

Urban utility tunnels (UUTs) have become an important infrastructure for sustainable urban development. However, numerous uncertainties brought by the complex stakeholder groups seriously hinder sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M) of UUT projects, which make it necessary to plan the development of UUT projects in advance. Previous studies mostly identified and analyzed the influencing factors from the partial life cycle perspective and neglected the limitations of exploring the complex whole life cycle factors from one single perspective. This paper comprehensively considered the perspectives of stakeholder roles and the whole UUT project life cycle and proposed a factor identification and analysis framework. In the factor identification section: (a) literature surveys were conducted to identify all influencing factors of stakeholders at each stage; and (b) 21 types of factors were identified through semi-structured interviews. In the factor analysis section: (a) the hierarchical structure of the factors was analyzed by introducing the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach and Interpretative Structural Model (ISM); (b) the various factors were divided into linkage, dependent, autonomous, and driving factors to clarify their influence degrees; and (c) the core influencing factor was determined based on the above analysis results and the two perspectives. The results indicated that (1) the pricing and charging mechanism is the decisive factor affecting the sustainable O&M of UUTs, the government should focus on establishing a standardized and transparent pricing and charging mechanism; (2) policy support to encourage social capital and user participation should be actively explored; and (3) UUT development must rely on the strong promotion of the government, and the needs of all stakeholders throughout the life cycle should be paid attention to. This study can provide useful insights for guaranteeing the sustainable O&M of UUTs in China and similar regions.
