摘要

目的建筑环境是一个复杂的部门,需要利益相关者的协调与合作。复杂行业的建筑项目需要技能、服务和建筑环境中主要学科的整合。在尼日利亚,关于建筑环境高等教育适宜性的主要学科标准的可持续性再怎么强调也不为过。关于尼日利亚在21世纪教育体系中的建筑环境项目认证(BEPA)的研究很少。因此,本研究调查了阻碍尼日利亚BEPA在21世纪教育体系中的相关性和感知因素。此外,该研究还提出了改善尼日利亚建筑环境高等教育认证排名的措施。设计/方法/方法数据来源于尼日利亚各地的精英虚拟访谈。受访者了解尼日利亚的建筑环境项目认证,其中许多人直接或间接参与其中。研究人员对整理后的数据进行了专题分析,并利用次要来源对其进行了增强。研究结果显示,由于工作场所的障碍,一些处于建筑环境中的尼日利亚学术界在研究、出版和引用方面缺乏知名度。它阻碍了他们全球机构的认证和排名标准。调查结果表明,基础设施不足、课程陈旧、缺乏研究新颖性、缺乏高等教育机构资金、人员配备不足、技能提升和再培训松懈,以及不道德的“系统性腐败”行为是阻碍BEPA的主要因素。此外,研究结果还提出了提高尼日利亚BEPA全球排名的措施。研究局限性/含义该研究仅限于通过半结构化虚拟访谈来改善尼日利亚21世纪BEPA的感知障碍和措施。未来的研究需要验证专题网络中强调的研究结果。实际意义本文证实,BEPA需要创新和多学科的措施来提高这些项目的全球排名,进而提高全球高等教育机构的排名。该文件将激起主要利益攸关方的兴趣,推动建筑环境方案在国际最佳实践方面的质量认证,并保持最低标准。独创性/价值本文通过主题网络全面分析了21世纪尼日利亚BEPA的感知因素并提出了改进措施。该成果旨在提高全球排名,并促使利益相关者重新定位尼日利亚的建筑环境计划,并向世界展示。

Evaluation of built environment programmes accreditation in the 21st century education system in Nigeria: stakeholders' perspective
PurposeThe built environment is a complex sector that demands coordination and cooperation of stakeholders. Construction projects from the complex sector require skills, services, and integration of major disciplines in the built environment. Sustainability of the major disciplines' standards regarding the appropriateness of the built environment tertiary education cannot be over-emphasised in Nigeria. Studies concerning Nigeria's built environment programmes accreditation (BEPA) in the 21st-century education system are scarce. Thus, the study investigated the relevance and perceived factors hindering Nigeria's BEPA in the 21st-century education system. Also, the study proffered measures to improve Nigerian built environment tertiary education accreditation ranking.Design/methodology/approachData were sourced from elite virtual interviews across Nigeria. The interviewees were knowledgeable about Nigeria's built environment programmes accreditation, and many of them have been directly or indirectly involved. The investigators utilised a thematic analysis for the collated data and enhanced it with secondary sources.FindingsThe study revealed that several Nigerian academia in the built environment lack fame in research, publication, and citations due to barriers in their workplace. It has hindered their global institution's accreditation and ranking standards. Findings identified inadequate basic infrastructure, obsolete curricula, lack of research novelty, lack of higher education institutions funding, inadequate staffing and lax upskilling and reskilling, and unethical practices “systematic corruption” as major factors hindering BEPA. Also, findings proffered measures to improve Nigeria's BEPA global ranking.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to the perceived barriers and measures to improve BEPA in the 21st-century in Nigeria via semi-structured virtual interviews. Future study is needed to validate the findings as highlighted in the thematic network.Practical implicationsThe paper confirms that the BEPA requires innovative and multidisciplinary measures to improve the global ranking of these programmes and, by extension, the higher education institutions ranking globally. The paper would stir major stakeholders and advance the built environment programmes quality accreditation regarding international best practices and maintain the minimum standards.Originality/valueThe paper comprehensively analyses the perceived factors and proffered measures to improve Nigeria's BEPA in the 21st-century via a thematic network. The outcome intends to improve the global ranking and stir stakeholders to reposition and showcase Nigeria's built environment programmes to the world.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation publishes findings on contemporary and original research towards sustaining, maintaining and managing existing buildings. The journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of buildings, their performance and adaptation in order to develop appropriate technical and management solutions. This requires an holistic understanding of the complex interactions between the materials, components, occupants, design and environment, demanding the application and development of methodologies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in this multidisciplinary area. With rapid technological developments, a changing climate and more extreme weather, coupled with developing societal demands, the challenges to the professions responsible are complex and varied; solutions need to be rigorously researched and tested to navigate the dynamic context in which today''s buildings are to be sustained. Within this context, the scope and coverage of the journal incorporates the following indicative topics: • Behavioural and human responses • Building defects and prognosis • Building adaptation and retrofit • Building conservation and restoration • Building Information Modelling (BIM) • Building and planning regulations and legislation • Building technology • Conflict avoidance, management and disputes resolution • Digital information and communication technologies • Education and training • Environmental performance • Energy management • Health, safety and welfare issues • Healthy enclosures • Innovations and innovative technologies • Law and practice of dilapidation • Maintenance and refurbishment • Materials testing • Policy formulation and development • Project management • Resilience • Structural considerations • Surveying methodologies and techniques • Sustainability and climate change • Valuation and financial investment
