摘要

马来西亚出现了自全球COVID-19大流行开始以来的第三波感染,从2020年4月到2021年2月,报告了大约103个建筑工地,涉及14667多名工人。这导致建设项目进展有限或完全停顿,导致项目延迟交付。本文的目的是调查影响COVID-19传播的因素以及受影响的建筑工地采取的缓解疫情传播的策略。研究人员采用多案例设计的案例研究方法,并讨论了使用深度访谈法收集研究现象的丰富数据。数据是从三个建筑工地收集的。这些站点本质上是混合开发项目,并提供了深入、严谨和可靠的信息。在此基础上,建立了影响COVID-19传播的两类因素。这些是主要和次要因素,例如工人的动员、工人不受控制的流动以及有限的社交距离做法。此外,有证据表明,为控制大流行病的影响而采取的战略是政府执法和建筑公司采取的举措相结合的结果。本文的结论是,尽早确定传播的原因将有助于采取适当的实施策略来控制疫情。这项研究试图以一个发展中国家的经验为例,说明如何处理可能影响项目交付的意外流行病或其他疑难疾病。

Strategies to Minimise the Impact of COVID-19 on the Construction Industry: A Case Study of Construction Site Clusters in Malaysia
Malaysia has seen the third wave of infection since the start of the global COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 103 construction sites involving over 14,667 workers reported from April 2020 to February 2021. This has led to limited progress in construction projects or a complete halt, resulting in late project delivery. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors influencing the spread of COVID-19 and the strategies taken by the affected construction sites to mitigate the spread of the outbreak. The researchers adopted a case study approach with a multiple-case design and discusses the use of an in-depth interviewing method to collect rich data on the studied phenomenon. Data were collected from three construction sites. The sites were mixed development projects in nature and provided in-depth, rigorous, and robust information. Based on the results, two categories of factors influencing the spread of COVID-19 were established. These are primary and secondary factors, such as workers’ mobilisation, uncontrolled movement of workers, and the limited practice of social distancing. Furthermore, evidence suggests that the strategies adopted to control the effects of the pandemic were a combination of government enforcement and initiatives taken by construction companies. This paper concludes that an early identification of the causes of the spread will enable appropriate implementation strategies to control the outbreak. This study is an attempt to present the experiences of one developing country as an example of a means of dealing with unexpected pandemics or other intractable diseases that can affect project delivery.
