Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research has shown that trustful relations and cooperation have a potential for minimizing project delays, cost overruns, and disagreements amongst project stakeholders, and for enhancing construction productivity.
The construction sector has a significant environmental impact and is now more than ever accountable for fulfilling sustainable development goals. Sustainability has become one of the projects’ objectives. However, construction projects often experience difficulties in achieving their objectives despite the industry's growing technological advancement. This Special Issue focuses on recent developments in the field of construction and stakeholder management, with an emphasis on sustainable management practices. Trust, cooperation, and effective communication can be driving factors of successful sustainable construction projects.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews dealing with trust and sustainable management of construction projects are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The impact of trust on the achievement of project objectives related to sustainability;
- The development and management of trust among stakeholders;
- Management practices for sustainable development;
- Stakeholder and relational management in construction related to sustainability issues;
- Transparency and the use of information technology for information exchange in construction projects.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
