Factors Affecting

National development for almost 70 years since independence Indonesia has produced various advances, but it was realized that the development process carried out so far turned out to have caused a residual problem of development inequality, especially in rural areas. the development approach which only emphasizes macroeconomic growth tends to lead to a large development gap between regions. Therefore, this study would like to conduct a study of the dominant demographic characteristic factors affecting construction projects in rural Indonesia. The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to contractors selected by the Ministry of Village. The source of the questionnaire used is through previously identified journals and books. The method used in analyzing data is factor analysis. Data analysis was carried out starting from the validity test, reliability test, KMO test, MSA test, communality test, and determining the dominant influence factor. Based on the data analysis conducted, it was concluded that the most dominant demographic characteristic factors affecting road construction projects in rural Indonesia were education, gender, age, urbanization, and labor.AbstrakPembangunan nasional selama hampir 70 tahun sejak Indonesia merdeka telah menghasilkan berbagai kemajuan, namun disadari bahwa proses pembangunan yang dilaksanakan selama ini ternyata telah menimbulkan residu masalah kesenjangan pembangunan, khususnya wilayah pedesaan. pendekatan pembangunan yang hanya menekankan pada pertumbuhan ekonomi makro, cenderung menimbulkan terjadinya kesenjangan pembangunan antar wilayah yang cukup besar. Oleh karena itu, studi ini ingin melakukan penelitian tentang faktor demografi dominan yang mempengaruhi proyek konstruksi jalan di pedesaan Indonesia. penelitian dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner kepada kontraktor yang dipilih oleh Kementerian Desa. Sumber kuesioner yang digunakan adalah melalui jurnal dan buku yang telah diidentifikasi lebih dulu. Metode yang dipakai dalam menganalisis data adalah analisis faktor. Analisis data dilakukan mulai dari uji validitas, uji reliabilitas, uji KMO, uji MSA, uji komunalitas, dan menentukan faktor pengaruh dominan. Berdasarkan analisis data yang dilakukan, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa faktor demografi yang paling dominan yang mempengaruhi terhadap proyek konstruksi jalan di pedesaan Indonesia adalah pendidikan, jenis kelamin, usia, urbanisasi, dan tenaga kerja.

Electricity Access

PurposeRecently, multidimensional aspects of poverty has been increasingly focused on which includes education, economy and health, while access to modern energy such as stable electricity is also one of the possible solution; thus, this article aims to divulge the relation between access to electricity and progression in socioeconomic status in urban and rural areas of Nigeria in an attempt to propose a sustainable framework for access to electricity.Design/methodology/approachDemographic and health survey data are collected using four categories of model of questionnaires. A standard questionnaire was designed to gather information on features of the household's dwelling element and attributes of visitors and usual residents between the 2018 period. Biomarker questionnaire was used to gather biomarker data on men, women and children. Logistic model estimation technique was employed to estimate the socioeconomic factors affecting access to electricity in Nigeria.FindingsThese studies discovered that there are diverse set of factors affecting access to electricity in Nigeria especially in the rural areas. However, respondent residing in rural areas are still largely deprived access to electricity; most importantly, households with no access to electricity are more likely to use self-generating sets as revealed. Additionally, empirical findings indicated that the higher the level of your education and wealth, the higher the likelihood of having access to electricity in Nigeria. These factors included political will to connect the rural areas to the national grid, development of other infrastructures in those deprived areas and others.Practical implicationsThe problem confronting access to electricity in Nigeria has three components. The first is the significance of those deprived access to electricity in the rural areas and the physical resources needed to connect them to the national grid. The second is the political willingness of the government to have equitable distribution of public goods evenly between rural and urban areas especially on electricity access which will go a long way in reducing poverty in Nigeria. The third is lack of robust national development plans and strategy to tackle the problems facing electricity access in Nigeria.Social implicationsAs the rate of socioeconomic status/development increases, access to electricity is anticipated to rise up in Nigeria.Originality/valueThe findings can be used by the policy makers to address problems facing access to electricity in Nigeria.

The construction industry faces a lack of compliance with policy that in Uganda public road construction projects affects the attainment of Government goals and disrupts infrastructure project delivery. For decades, public entities have been known for a lack of compliance that manifest in: poor performance, poor personnel management, poor resource utilization and unprofessionalism. In Uganda, this has resulted in several restructures aimed at improving service delivery. Despite this, compliance remains an issue. The purpose of this study is to establish factors affecting compliance within a public procurement regulatory framework in public road construction projects and foster economic development. A cross-sectional research design including a structured self-administered questionnaire survey and PLS-SEM data analysis by SmartPLS3 was conducted. The research reveals that three factors positively affect compliance with a regulatory framework that govern public road construction projects; sanctions on staff, inefficiency of the public procurement regulatory framework and contractors’ resistance to non-compliance. While a further three factors have little positive effect on compliance; familiarity, monitoring activities and professionalism. Hence, the research contributes to construction management by showing that sanctions, perceived inefficiency and contractors’ resistance significantly enhance compliance within a public procurement regulatory framework.

The Cost

The development of road infrastructure is closely related to national competitiveness and presents significant socioeconomic impacts. However, road construction involves a large budget and is vulnerable to political, economic, social, and project-specific risks, which often result in cost overruns and schedule delays. Assessing the gap between the final performance and the planned performance, and providing feedback to similar projects in the future is essential for successful project planning and management. The aim of this study is to empirically analyze the cost and schedule growth of road construction projects, considering project characteristics. Using the national-level project performance data, the primary goal is to answer, “Do project characteristics influence the road project performance? If so, how different is the performance because of the project characteristics?” To this end, this study analyzes the cost and schedule growth of 423 road construction projects, considering five project characteristics: facility type, construction type, bid type, contract type, and project size. Non-parametric tests (the Mann–Whitney U test and the Kruskal–Wallis test) are used to analyze the differences between sample groups. The results demonstrate (1) better management of the performance of the highway when compared to the national and provincial roads; (2) higher schedule growth of the expansion and renovation than that of the new construction; (3) lower cost growth of the design-build method (turnkey and alternative) than the design-bid-build methods (qualification examination and lowest price); and (4) relatively larger cost and schedule growth for projects over $50 million than those of smaller projects. These results present empirical references from the Korean construction industry that can help construction-related entities (clients, design consultants, and contractors) to estimate and manage the cost and schedule buffers of future projects by considering different project characteristics. Discussions and suggestions connected with the findings are also provided. Future research will continue to shed light on the critical factors affecting the cost and schedule growth.

Delay in construction project is an important issue in construction management. This is because delay will cause negative impacts on both the owner and the contractor. For owner, it will lead to the late opening of new road. For contractor, it will cause extra operating cost. In this paper, therefore, the causes of delay in road construction projects are researched. This paper studied a list of road construction delay causes gathered from literature having different countries. Internationally, twenty-six factors that might cause delays of road construction projects are identified in this research. Among 26 factors, considering in Thailand, eight key factors are typically found as the cause of delays in road construction projects. These 8 factors are then prioritized to identify the most important causes of delays in road construction projects in Thailand. A questionnaire and personal interviews through project engineer have formed the basis of this paper. The study indicates that the 5 top factors affecting road construction delays are: incomplete drawings, lack of equipment efficiency or financial status of contractors, delay in relocating existing infrastructure structures, less of project engineer experiences, and delay in relieving environmental impact, respectively
