Journal of Sustainable Construction and Management

Aims and scope

 

Aim

 

Sustainable Construction and Management aims to advance the knowledge, practice, and policy of sustainable development in the construction and infrastructure sectors. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share innovations, empirical findings, and theoretical insights that contribute to environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable construction practices.

The journal seeks to support the transition toward low-carbon, resource-efficient, and resilient built environments by publishing high-quality research and applied studies. It also aims to influence decision-making at various levels—project, organizational, and policy—by disseminating evidence-based strategies and solutions aligned with global sustainability goals, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 

Scope

Sustainable Construction and Management covers a wide range of topics at the intersection of sustainability, construction engineering, and project management. The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies, technical notes, and policy analyses related to (but not limited to):

 

  • Sustainable Design and Green Architecture

  • Eco-friendly and Recycled Building Materials

  • Energy-efficient Technologies in Construction

  • Renewable Energy Integration in Buildings and Infrastructure

  • Construction Waste Management and Circular Economy Approaches

  • Low-carbon and Net-zero Emission Construction Practices

  • Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Impact Studies

  • Smart and Resilient Infrastructure Systems

  • Digital Technologies for Sustainable Construction (e.g., BIM, IoT, AI)

  • Sustainable Procurement and Supply Chain Management

  • Policy, Governance, and Regulatory Frameworks in Green Construction

  • Climate Adaptation and Risk Management in the Built Environment

  • Community Participation and Social Dimensions of Sustainability

 

The journal encourages interdisciplinary submissions that connect civil engineering, environmental science, urban planning, architecture, and management disciplines. Studies with regional, national, or global relevance are welcome, particularly those that provide actionable insights or scalable models.
