Abstract

While sustainable construction has gained increasing international attention, a limited number of studies address the issue of sustainable construction in South Africa. The adoption and implementation of sustainable solutions in the South African construction industry is also not apparent. The objective of this paper was to examine the most significant barriers to and drivers of the adoption and implementation of sustainable construction through an integrative review by systematically analysing the existing literature. This review identified six key themes in the literature: 1) socio-cultural barriers and drivers; 2) economic barriers and drivers; 3) stakeholder barriers and drivers; 4) political barriers and drivers; 5) technological barriers and drivers; and 6) the environmental benefits of adopting sustainable construction. An empirical investigation is ongoing to understand and analyse some of these barriers and drivers, with the aim of facilitating the transition to the adoption and successful implementation of sustainable construction in South Africa.

南非采用和实施可持续建筑的潜在障碍和驱动因素综合评价

虽然可持续建筑已经获得了越来越多的国际关注，但有限数量的研究涉及南非的可持续建筑问题。南非建筑业采用和实施可持续解决方案的情况也不明显。本文的目的是通过系统地分析现有文献，通过综合审查，检查采用和实施可持续建筑的最重要障碍和驱动因素。本综述确定了文献中的六个关键主题:1)社会文化障碍和驱动因素;2)经济壁垒与驱动因素;3)利益相关者障碍与驱动因素;4)政治障碍和驱动因素;5)技术壁垒和驱动因素;采用可持续建筑的环境效益。目前正在进行一项实证调查，以了解和分析其中的一些障碍和驱动因素，目的是促进南非向采用和成功实施可持续建筑的过渡。
