An Attempt to Evaluate the Green Construction of Large-Scale Hydropower Projects: Taking Wudongde Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River, China as an Example

Huge amounts of energy and resources will be consumed, and a large quantity of environmental pollutants will be produced during the construction process of large-scale hydropower projects. As a core link of green supply chain in hydropower projects, green construction is particularly critical. To objectively evaluate the green construction level of large-scale hydropower projects, an evaluation indicator system was constructed in the study. The evaluation system consisted of 30 quantitative indicators and 7 qualitative indicators from the perspectives of environmental protection, resource saving and comprehensive management on the basis of the construction characteristics of large-scale hydropower projects. The quantitative and qualitative evaluation standards were proposed by combining with relevant laws and regulations, specifications and standards, and the environmental management maturity model. Furthermore, taking the second quarter of 2018 in Wudongde Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River, China, as an example, green construction level was assessed by the analytic hierarchy process fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (AHP-FCE) method. The calculation results indicated that the evaluation value of green construction in Wudongde Hydropower Station was 3.697, at “Good” level. The evaluation values of environmental protection, resource saving, and comprehensive management were 3.681, 3.473, and 3.965, respectively, within the range of 3 to 4, so they were all evaluated to be “Good”. To further improve the green construction level, it was necessary to supervise some aspects of construction process, i.e., treatment of waste slag in construction, economical and intensive utilization of land, publicity and training, soil erosion control, and saving water resources. In particular, management of soil erosion control should be strengthened. The proposed green construction evaluation system is relatively reliable and practical for professionals in the green hydropower industry, and can provide a reference for other large-scale hydropower projects.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE BASED ON GREEN BUILDING ASSESSMENT (CASE STUDY OF SUKAWATI ART MARKET CONSTRUCTION STAGE, GIANYAR REGENCY)

<p>Over the last decade the construction industry has made efforts to develop green building practices. With the enactment of PUPR Ministerial Regulation 21 of 2021 concerning Performance Assessment of Green Buildings, the Government requires the Government to implement green construction in every stage of construction, both in planning, development, supervision, operation and maintenance. In addition to planners, contractors have an important role in the principles of green building sustainability. The Sukawati Art Market as a public building has gone through a green building planning certification process by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing in 2019. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the application of green construction in the implementation of the Sukawati Art Market development focusing on the parameters of the Green Supply Chain. This study begins with the identification of the parameters according to the checklist for the performance assessment of the BGH construction implementation phase for New Buildings. Then proceed with doing a comparison to evaluate the field data obtained with the assessment standard and perform an analysis on the parameters of the green supply chain. The research method used is qualitative which includes case studies of construction implementation and qualitative interviews with the parties involved. The results obtained are that the construction of the Sukawati Art Market has met the criteria as a building that has an environmentally friendly construction process with a total value of 101 points or 61% and is included in the pratama predicate.</p>

Conceptualizing the State of the Art of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Green Construction and Its Nexus to Sustainable Development

The study has been investigated on conceptualizing the state of the art of cooperate social responsibility (CSR) in green construction and its nexus to sustainable development. The research objective is to find out the significant relationship between CSR and green construction and further link green construction with sustainable development. The data has been collected from the 319 respondents working on different projects in the construction industry of China. The study is quantitative by nature. SEM analysis with the help of Smart-PLS has been applied to test the hypothesis relationship and mediations between components of CSR, green construction, and sustainable development. Results define that green procurement as a component of green construction strongly mediates between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, and green design and CO2 emission moderately mediates between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. This research would add values, benefits, and knowledge toward reducing environmental temperature with the help of green construction occupying the effects of CSR on it. It would be helpful to change the trends in the construction industry to make environmental health protective and to boost the sustainable development.
