“…The implementation strategy has an internal aspect that can be utilized to seize and maximize the identified opportunities. The strategy developed in this study is also in accordance with previous studies that focused on the use of environmentally friendly materials, such as revising the concrete mix by using alternative substitutes for waste products, which will pave the way for reducing environmental problems, the harmful effects of waste due to improper disposal processes, appropriate, dependence on non-renewable substances, and the promotion of sustainable construction [7,18,[26][27][28]. By developing a strategy for the use of environmentally friendly materials, the implementation of sustainable construction in the SEZ project results in a wellcontrolled environmental impact.…”

The process towards sustainability is indeed very complicated, given the increasing need of the population for infrastructure to support human activities. The objective of the study is to analyze the influence of environmental factors and their awful effects on infrastructure projects with sustainable construction models in special economic zones. The methodology used are mixed methods, combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches with the total respondent are 80 persons. The respondents involved are divided by company/institution, company’s qualifications, and stakeholders. The first validity shows that all factors have a value above 0.5, by using Fornell Lacker Criterion, it is found that the CDV value met the requirements from all variables involved. The validation was calculated by a cross-loading method called discriminant validity. After validity, it is continued to obtain model fit value and the final model fit is 0.568 means good model. The NFI value released was 56.8%. It means that the declared model was good enough to be implemented within sustainability in SEZs. This result supported the previous research, which stated that a sustainable construction model using a multi-criteria approach is a good model choice for the development of a sustainable construction model.

“…This requires adequate and modern technology. One technology that can be applied to sustainable construction projects is nanotechnology and carbon to maximize the energy used [27], [28]. In addition, the landscape factor in the construction project area also affects the project [29], so it is very important to choose an effective material to produce a good quality, ecological and durable project [30].…”

In the development of modern construction, the sustainable construction approach has grown in importance. Economic, environmental, and social factors have been identified as influencing its implementation. The use of the sustainable construction method is affected by several additional factors. This study aimed to determine how the Likupang SEZâ€™s local cultural factors affected sustainable construction methods. The method used is a quantitative study with a sample of the Likupang SEZ in North Sulawesi. The results of this study indicate an influence of local cultural factors of 0.264 on the implementation of the sustainable construction approach in the Likupang SEZ. The results of this study also indicate that local cultural factors are important to consider in implementing sustainable construction. Things that focus on local culture in planting trees as materials for construction, local heritage, Work Culture, and the migrant community environment should be of particular concern in implementing a sustainable construction approach in the Likupang SEZ area. Cultural factors have an important role in ensuring development with this sustainable construction approach considering environmental, social, and economic factors as well as cultural factors as new factors identified as having an influence. This study concludes that it is very important to pay attention to local cultural factors that influence the implementation of a sustainable construction approach in the Likupang SEZ project in North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

“…in both Polish and international research literature, there is a growing interest in the issue of carbon footprint [21][22][23][24][25][26], methods for calculating it using computer programs [27][28][29][30][31], and examples of such analyses [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. this trend encourages a closer look at publications in this field.…”

This article addresses the issue of reducing carbon footprint in construction production. It focuses on the sources and factors of greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. The construction sector plays a significant role in generating carbon footprint, both in the manufacturing of construction products within supply chains and during the execution of construction work on-site. The identified factors that influence carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of a construction project and the life of a building are examined and analysed using the DEMATEL method. The research aims to identify causal relationships among factors that contribute to minimising carbon footprint in construction projects. The factors with the highest causal impact are identified in each phase of the building’s lifecycle, including Building Information Modelling (BIM), appropriate selection of construction products, and regulatory and financial incentives. The results of the analysis can be utilised to support decision-making processes aimed at reducing harmful emissions during project realisation and building operation.
