This research aims to explore the effectiveness of using modern architectural design teaching strategies in developing students' skills from the viewpoint of instructors. The research was applied to two universities out of three in the West Bank -of Palestine that teach architecture. The research sample consisted of (18) instructors selected intentionally from the research community. The approach used is the descriptive and analytical approach based on the questionnaire verified for its validity and stability. The results indicated that all the degrees of using strategies are high, and the highest used strategies are the strategy for developing thinking skills, followed by the strategy for developing cognitive skills, and finally, the strategy for improving the environment. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness of using modern teaching strategies in developing students' skills due to the variable (workplace, specialization, number of experience years), and the presence of statistically significant differences attributable to the scientific qualification variable in favor of scientific qualification (Ph.D.). In the field of developing social skills. The research concluded with several recommendations and proposals in light of their results.

Stakeholder management has an important role in the success of the project because the strategies, plans, methods, and processes for stakeholders greatly determine the success of sustainable construction implementation. Lean construction is one of the principles in implementing sustainable construction by maximizing value and minimizing waste to increase productivity. This study aims to analyze the stakeholder engagement assessment matrix in lean construction, analyze the drivers and barriers in lean construction, and develop stakeholder engagement strategies to improve the implementation of sustainable lean construction. For this study, a questionnaire survey with 61 respondents was used. The data analysis method uses the Certainty Index, RII, Fuzzy AHP, and Fuzzy-TOPSIS. The findings of this research show that there are engagement gaps among stakeholders such as owners, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, architects, the government, local governments, and NGOs. There is no engagement gap between project suppliers and investors. The highest barrier to implementing sustainable lean construction is a lack of knowledge and skills in using lean tools and principles, while the highest driver to implement sustainable lean construction is improved time efficiency and process standardization. The best strategy for increasing stakeholder engagement is by having governments develop regulations and standardize green and sustainable materials.

“…Lastly in terms of exploring barriers of applying Lean construction, two publications were located. The first was conducted by Sarhan et al [12], where the authors investigated the barriers to the implementation of Lean construction in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The authors extracted 22 barriers from literature and asked construction professionals to rank these barriers.…”

Lean construction has been capturing the attention of construction practitioners seeking to improve performance at company, project and process levels. With a variety of principles, tools and techniques, Lean construction now has a rich record of successful implementations that positively impacted construction companies and projects. In the UAE, the adoption of Lean construction has started but is progressing with a slow pace. Previous research addressing the implementation of Lean construction in the UAE has addressed different aspects such as exploring barriers to implementation and examining potential impacts. This research takes a step further to bring companies closer to the practical adoption of lean construction. This research examines the characteristics of construction projects in the UAE and analyzes the capabilities of common Lean tools. Through matching the analysis of Lean tools capabilities with characteristics of the local construction market, this research concludes with recommending and discussing a shortlist of tools to be implemented by companies seeking to start adopting Lean construction into their companies and projects. The results of this research contribute to bridging the gap between lean awareness and the actual adoption of Lean in daily operations in companies and projects in the UAE.
