Abstract

This research paper focuses on analysing the significant factors for land use impact assessment in building construction projects in Sri Lanka using a whole life cycle analysis approach. The study recognizes the importance of land use in achieving sustainability and highlights the potential environmental consequences of land use changes and occupation. Through a questionnaire survey and the application of the Relative Importance Index (RII) method, the study identifies and ranks the key factors for land use impact assessment. The findings reveal that factors such as site selection, erosion and sedimentation control, site assessment and development, and on-site renewable energy play a crucial role in assessing the land use impact of building construction projects. A comprehensive assessment framework is proposed, which allocates credits to these factors based on their significance. The developed framework provides a practical tool for evaluating and promoting sustainable land use practices in the construction industry. The research underscores the need for considering land use impacts throughout the entire life cycle of buildings and emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable practices into construction processes. By adopting the identified factors and assessment framework, construction projects in Sri Lanka can enhance their sustainability performance and minimize their land use impacts, leading to a more environmentally responsible built environment.
分析斯里兰卡建筑施工项目中土地利用影响评估的重要因素:全生命周期分析方法
本研究论文采用全生命周期分析方法,重点分析了斯里兰卡建筑施工项目中土地利用影响评估的重要因素。研究认识到了土地利用在实现可持续发展方面的重要性,并强调了土地利用变化和占用可能造成的环境后果。通过问卷调查和应用相对重要性指数 (RII) 方法,该研究确定了土地使用影响评估的关键因素并对其进行了排序。研究结果表明,选址、侵蚀和沉积物控制、场地评估和开发以及现场可再生能源等因素在评估建筑施工项目的土地利用影响方面发挥着至关重要的作用。我们提出了一个综合评估框架,根据这些因素的重要性为其分配信用分。所开发的框架为评估和促进建筑行业的可持续土地利用实践提供了一个实用工具。研究强调了在建筑物的整个生命周期中考虑土地使用影响的必要性,并强调了将可持续实践融入建筑流程的重要性。通过采用已确定的因素和评估框架,斯里兰卡的建筑项目可以提高其可持续性绩效,最大限度地减少对土地使用的影响,从而营造一个对环境更加负责的建筑环境。
