“…Some authors focus only on a particular aspect of sustainable development, like environmental assessment, projects impact on economic or social sustainability of the region, by identifying and analyzing assessment indicators [37][38][39][40][41][42]. Those who are trying to combine all three issues, provide the systematic approach or framework of sustainability indicators, which are recommended to be properly evaluated by project stakeholders and public decision makers [43][44][45][46][47].…”

Abstract:The principles of sustainability have become particularly important in the real estate and construction sector over the past decade. Despite extended efforts to evaluate the sustainability aspects of the real estate development, very few attempts have been exposed in the scientific literature pursuing integrating the investors and real estate developers' responsibility for the local community, regional economy and environmental problems within their financial expectations. The paper presents methodology enabling evaluating the balance of real estate development sustainability and financial viability issues during the feasibility study process. The Model for Real Estate Investment Evaluation Based on Sustainable Development Aspects proposed by the authors was applied to the case study of Lithuanian sports and entertainment arenas. By using multi-criteria decision analysis sustainability assessment of multi-functional arenas was carried out which disclosed that positive sustainability effects lays down on the owner's and operator's monetary liabilities.

“…For instance, project owners introduce their intention to develop green building project early , and at the same time, commission separate experts to guide other project participants during the delivery green building projects at the design stage (Nofera & Korkmaz, 2010). This in line with previous studies which suggested that early actions by the project owners and other project participants (≤ design stage) during the delivery of green building projects are crucial for success (Hand, et al, 2015;Robichaud & Anantatmula, 2010), and they offer the greatest potential for influencing the delivery performance (Valdes-Vasquez & Klotz, 2012).…”

“…From this reflection, after consulting the literature, a variety of variables were selected and sorted into five constructs in order to suggest a framework for socially-oriented project management. The constructs were partially adapted from the work of Valdes-Vasquez and Klotz (2013). Although they focus on the social dimension of sustainability, covering projects in the construction industry, it also enables an application in social projects because it contains several points that can be adapted for this purpose.…”

Under the umbrella of compassionate operations management theory (Sarkis, in Int J Prod Econ 139(2): [359][360][361][362][363][364][365] 2012) and stakeholder theory, the aim of this article is to propose a comprehensive framework to unlock stakeholders' voice in socially-oriented projects (for example, social responsibility, community and humanitarian projects). The framework developed in this work aims to assist managers to measure the level of engagement of stakeholders during socially-oriented projects' execution. It may allow better accountability, transparency and stakeholder satisfaction. For this purpose, the study seeks to explore key concepts and ideas about participatory management in socially-oriented projects, and Freeman's (Strategic Management: a stakeholder approach. Pitman, Boston, 1984) stakeholder theory, in addition to essential principles of the AA1000 framework. It is therefore a piece of conceptual research based on the proposal of a framework. This framework could in the near future be applied to organizations that need to expand their level of awareness of stakeholders' satisfaction during the execution of organizational social responsibility and humanitarian project management they finance. It makes possible to understand the level of involvement of stakeholders. It is 123Ann Oper Res expected that the contributions made will be useful for researchers to propose new studies to improve the indicators presented here, as well as allow future studies to apply these indicators in social projects and in humanitarian initiatives.
