Evaluation Of Innovative Wearable Technologies For Proactive Health And Safety Management In Energy Sector Construction: Evidence From South Africa, Brenda Matsie, Mohlomi Raliile, Chris Allen
CIB Conferences
This study evaluated the role of innovative wearable technologies in enhancing the health and safety (H&S) of construction workers in South Africa’s energy sector. While current management tools, such as H&S audits and incident investigations, remain foundational, they are limited in their ability to detect dynamic and physiological hazards in real time. Grounded in Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory and the Cognitive Systemic Technology Acceptance Index (C-STAI), this study examined worker perceptions of current H&S practices, organisational H&S culture, and the adoption of innovative wearables. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 161 construction professionals. Descriptive statistics and reliability analysis …
(Re)Shaping The Path Of Rural Tourism In Central Vietnam: When Traditionalism As A Driver For Architectural Multiformity, Tung Minh Tran, Chau Thi Bao Huynh
(Re)Shaping The Path Of Rural Tourism In Central Vietnam: When Traditionalism As A Driver For Architectural Multiformity, Tung Minh Tran, Chau Thi Bao Huynh
CIB Conferences
Rural tourism in Central Vietnam faces tension between infrastructure modernization and the preservation of vernacular architectural identity. This paper examines the (re)configuration of rural tourism by conceptualizing traditionalism as a driver for architectural multiformity rather than a static constraint. Through a multiple-case study of six representative villages and 23 semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders, the study identifies (neo-)vernacular practices and strategies for integrating local materials into contemporary hospitality typologies. Findings demonstrate that a tradition-centric approach supports hybrid morphologies that balance heritage conservation with economic needs. The paper concludes that traditionalism provides a resilient framework for shaping sustainable, locally grounded tourism …

Enhance Green Space Accessibility To Improve Quality Of Life In Hanoi's Inner City, Phuong M.T. Le, Huong T.D. Nguyen
CIB Conferences
Urban green spaces play an important role in improving environmental quality and enhancing the quality of life in cities. However, in high-density urban areas such as the inner city of Hanoi, the distribution of green spaces and residents’ accessibility to these spaces remain uneven. This study applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to evaluate the accessibility of urban green spaces in the historical inner-city area of Hanoi. Spatial datasets including parks, public gardens, water bodies, residential distribution, and administrative boundaries were integrated into a GIS database. Spatial analysis tools in ArcGIS were used to calculate residents’ accessibility to green spaces within …
A Multi-Fidelity Approach For Forecasting Seismic Responses In Building Structures, Quynh Doan Thi Mai, Viet Hung Dang, Trong Phu Nguyen
A Multi-Fidelity Approach For Forecasting Seismic Responses In Building Structures, Quynh Doan Thi Mai, Viet Hung Dang, Trong Phu Nguyen
CIB Conferences
In this study, a hybrid physics-based and data-driven model is proposed to reliably forecast the dynamic responses of structures under time-varying excitations. While detailed physics-based models are accurate, they are computationally intensive; conversely, purely data-driven models are efficient but highly dependent on data quality and volume. The proposed hybrid approach bridges this gap by combining a fast, low-fidelity physics-based model with a data-driven corrector to predict the residuals between the low-fidelity approximation and the high-fidelity target. Specifically, the low-fidelity physical model relies on a multi-degree-of-freedom mass-spring-damper system, while the data-driven corrector is based on a selective state-space neural network. The …
A Tqm-Based Conceptual Framework For Developing Quality Environments In Architecture And Planning Education, Thanh Trung Nguyen
A Tqm-Based Conceptual Framework For Developing Quality Environments In Architecture And Planning Education, Thanh Trung Nguyen
CIB Conferences
Enhancing quality in higher education (HE), particularly in architecture and planning (A&P) education, requires moving beyond fragmented perspectives on learning environments toward more integrated and systemic approaches. This study addresses this need by developing a conceptual framework for the quality environment in A&P education based on Total Quality Management (TQM). Drawing on a theory-building methodology, the study synthesizes literature on HE quality, TQM, and learning environments, with particular attention to the pedagogical and contextual characteristics of A&P disciplines, through a thematic analysis and iterative abstraction process. The findings identify three core dimensions-physical, academic, and social environments-and integrate them into a …

The construction industry in Ghana, unsurprisingly, remains one of the most hazardous sectors, underscoring the need for effective safety training interventions. This study investigates the perceived impact of safety training programs on construction workers’ safety performance in Ghana with the aim of proposing evidence-based recommendations to enhance training effectiveness. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was adopted, employing a stratified random sampling technique to select site workers, safety officers, and project managers from large (D1K1) and medium (D2K2) contractors. Data were collected from 306 respondents using a structured questionnaire that covered safety training characteristics, perceived effectiveness, safety knowledge, and performance indicators. …
Has The Construction Industry Become More Inclusive? A Diachronic Investigation Of Challenges And Changed Experiences Of Women In The Industry, Katerina Prevelianaki
Has The Construction Industry Become More Inclusive? A Diachronic Investigation Of Challenges And Changed Experiences Of Women In The Industry, Katerina Prevelianaki
CIB Conferences
A traditionally male dominated industry, construction always struggled to attract and retain women, and despite efforts and legislation encouraging equality and inclusion, women continue to be a minority in this space. Challenges women have faced have been documented; it is, nevertheless, unclear whether the same problems continue to occur in ways they did in the past, how the challenges have evolved over time, and how these have potentially brought a changed experience for women, while research investigating those issues diachronically is sparse. This paper adopts a retrospective approach on women in construction; it explores how the industry landscape has been …
Exploring The Interpersonal Stressors Of Safety Officers In The Construction Industry Via A Focus Group, Wenqian Yang, Mei-Yung Leung
Exploring The Interpersonal Stressors Of Safety Officers In The Construction Industry Via A Focus Group, Wenqian Yang, Mei-Yung Leung
CIB Conferences
The construction industry is inherently hazardous, making effective safety management critical for project success and worker well-being. Safety officers play a crucial role in the safety management system. They act as the central bridge for communication and coordination across all organizational levels, from top management and inter-departmental peers to frontline workers. Safety officers often face hostility, resistance, and social isolation due to the unique nature of their duties, as they frequently need to identify non-compliance and rectify the mistakes of colleagues and workers. Despite the complex interpersonal relationships in their daily work, the interpersonal stressors experienced by them still remain …
The Impact Of Commute Length On Safety And Wellbeing In Uk Construction Workers, Amy Brandreth, Billy Hare, Kenneth Lawani
The Impact Of Commute Length On Safety And Wellbeing In Uk Construction Workers, Amy Brandreth, Billy Hare, Kenneth Lawani
CIB Conferences
This paper, contributing a small part to a related PhD, uses a systematic literature review approach to examine the impact of commuting on fatigue, safety and wellbeing among construction workers. Eight empirical studies were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis with three themes being identified: commute length, long working hours and commuting vs staying away from home. The results indicate that commutes can far exceed the UK average commute length, and this, combined with long working hours, reduces sleep opportunities. However, staying away from home introduces lifestyle and environmental factors, such as diet and exercise, which may also impair …

Additive construction (AC) is progressing beyond pilot applications towards structural, load-bearing use, yet its path to mainstream adoption remains constrained by a set of interrelated and persistent barriers. This paper examines the drivers and barriers to scaling AC through the analytical lens of Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations framework, reviewing academic and grey literature organised around its five adoption rate dimensions: relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, trialability, and observability. The review finds that the relative advantages of AC are well evidenced, spanning labour efficiency, delivery speed, design freedom, and embodied carbon reduction. Complexity and compatibility emerge as the critical constraints on diffusion, …

From Compliance To Context - Integrating Cognitive Determinants To Inform Technology Driven Safety Communication In Construction, Amit Ajit Bhalerao, Nikhil Bugalia, Farnad Nasirzadeh
CIB Conferences
Construction safety communication, a central mechanism for hazard mitigation, has advanced along three global trajectories, namely symbolic standardization, cognitive diagnostics, and intelligent digital interventions. However, their combined insights have been minimally applied to the Indian construction context, where high fatality rates persist, disproportionate to the country’s share of the global workforce. By interviewing nine safety experts from various hierarchical levels in public, private, institutional sectors, and a professional body, this study explores how these trajectories are reflected in the Indian construction industry. Four thematic findings emerge: (1) attentional limitations responsible for failure of static safety communication channels; (2) organisational structures …

The construction industry in developing economies remains a vital sector for sustainable infrastructure development; however, it is often dominated by foreign enterprises. This study identifies systemic obstacles in contractor growth. The study adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews held with purposively selected twelve (12) industrial experts in the construction sector, with contractors being the key interviewees. After conducting a thematic analysis of responses, six key factors were identified: financial indiscipline, the high cost of borrowing, erratic and delayed payments by clients, inadequate assurance of work opportunities, insufficient collateral to borrow from lending institutions, and insufficient construction …
The Effectiveness Of Health And Safety Practices On Peaking Power Stations, Nkosinathi Ndlovu, Claire Deacon, John Smallwood
The Effectiveness Of Health And Safety Practices On Peaking Power Stations, Nkosinathi Ndlovu, Claire Deacon, John Smallwood
CIB Conferences
Peaking Power Stations (PPSs) are required to undertake maintenance known as ‘outages’, on a regular basis. Injuries occur during general maintenance and outage activities. Such injuries in turn result in managers at PPSs perceiving health and safety (H&S) management as ineffective. The effectiveness of H&S management systems, particularly accident and incident reporting mechanisms, is critical for enhancing H&S performance in high-risk sectors such as power generation. Poor H&S performance could further result in lower production, higher insurance costs, and a detrimental financial impact on the economy, forcing workers to retire early with persistent disabilities. The aim of the study reported …
