Abstract

Purpose Evaluating the implementation of environmental management plans (EMPs) in highway construction projects is essential to avoid climate change. Public evaluations can help ensure that the EMP is implemented correctly and efficiently. To allow public evaluation of EMP implementations, this study aims to investigate performance indicators (PIs) for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects. To that end, the study objectives are to compare the critical PIs between environment auditors (EAs) and environment officers (EOs) and among the main project stakeholders (i.e. clients, contractors and consultants), create components for the critical PIs and assess the efficiency of the components. Design/methodology/approach The paper identified 39 PIs from interviews with environmental professionals and a systematic literature review. Then a questionnaire survey was developed based on the PIs and sent to EAs and EOs. The data were analyzed via mean score ranking, normalization, agreement analysis, factor analysis and fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). Findings The analyses revealed 21 critical PIs for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects. Also, the critical PIs can be grouped into four components: ecological, pollution, public safety and ecological. Finally, the overall importance of the critical PIs from the FSE is between important and very important. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first-of-its-kind study on the critical PIs for assessing EMP implementation in highway construction projects.
公路建设项目环境管理计划实施情况公众评价绩效指标
目的 评价公路建设项目中环境管理计划(EMP)的实施情况对于避免气候变 化至关重要。公众评价有助于确保环境管理计划得到正确有效的实施。为便于公众评价 EMP 的实施情况,本研究旨在调查用于评估公路建设项目中 EMP 实施情况的绩效指标(PIs)。为此,研究目标是比较环境审计员(EAs)和环境官员(EOs)之间以及主要项目利益相关者(即客户、承包商和顾问)之间的关键绩效指标,为关键绩效指标创建组成部分,并评估这些组成部分的效率。 设计/方法/途径 本文通过对环境专业人员的访谈和系统的文献综述,确定了 39 项关键绩效指标。然后,根据这些关键绩效指标编制了一份问卷调查,并发送给了环境机构和环境官员。通过平均得分排序、归一化、一致性分析、因子分析和模糊综合评价(FSE)对数据进行了分析。 分析结果 分析结果显示,有 21 个关键 PI 可用于评估公路建设项目中 EMP 的实施情况。此外,关键 PI 还可分为四个部分:生态、污染、公共安全和生态。最后,FSE 得出的关键 PI 的总体重要性介于重要和非常重要之间。 独创性/价值 据作者所知,本文是首次对公路建设项目中评估 EMP 实施情况的关键 PI 进行研究。
