摘要

在联合王国(联合王国),过去三十年来已作出努力,确保通过各种政策倡议充分促进可持续发展目标。然而,尽管这些政策举措,特别是可持续性项目,再生项目的努力和存在尚未实现其预期的可持续性目标。虽然客户、社区和政策制定者等利益相关者对更高可持续性效益的需求有所增加,但可持续性再生项目的可持续性效益尚未达到这些利益相关者的期望。本文从一项研究中概述了英国可持续再生项目背景下的可持续性效益,该研究考察了建筑从业者在促进再生项目可持续性方面的作用和可持续性驱动因素。为了做到这一点,采用定性研究方法,采用半结构化访谈技术进行研究。所得数据采用内容分析法进行分析。研究结果显示,在向从业人员展示的八个社会经济可持续性驱动因素中,提高声誉是最重要的“社会经济”可持续性驱动因素,而最不重要的驱动因素是立法和法律要求。调查结果进一步显示,大多数从业人员/机构正在推动社会经济可持续发展,他们认为这将使他们能够实现自己的企业业务目标。

The role of built environment practitioners in driving the socio-economic sustainability aspects of sustainable regeneration
In the United Kingdom (UK), over the past three decades efforts have been made to ensure adequate promotion of sustainability objectives through various policy initiatives. However, despite the effort and the existence of these policy initiatives, sustainability projects in particular, regeneration projects are yet to deliver their intended sustainability objectives.  While there is a rise in demand for higher sustainability benefits by stakeholders such as clients, communities and policy makers, the delivery of sustainability benefits from sustainability regeneration projects are yet to meet the expectations of these stakeholders. This article provides an overview of sustainability benefits within the context of the sustainable regeneration projects in the UK from a study that examines the roles and sustainability drivers of construction practitioners towards the promotion of sustainability on their regeneration projects. To do so, a qualitative research approach is adopted using a semi-structured interview technique for the study. The data obtained was analysed using content analysis. The findings revealed that out of the eight socio-economic sustainability drivers presented to practitioners, enhancement of reputation was the most important ‘socio-economic’ sustainability driver while the least important driver was legislative and legal requirement. The findings further revealed that majority of practitioners/ organisations were promoting the socio-economic sustainability driver they believed will enable them to meet their own corporate business objectives.
