 Study on the Relative Importance of Green Building Attributes in Philippine Urban
Authors Perspective
Urban planners, legislators,
and environmental
campaigners are perhaps
people who the author of the
study on the relative value of
green construction qualities
in the Philippine urban
setting may relate to. They
probably want to ascertain
the preferences and interests
of the various stakeholders in
urban development projects
with respect to green
building characteristics. In
addition, the author might
support environmentally
friendly methods in the
building sector and work to
present factual data that
supports choices.
Setting Using Analytical Hierarchy Process
Problem Definition
The goal of the study is to fill
in the knowledge gap about
the relative significance of
different green building
features in the context of
urban settings in the
Philippines. This lack of
understanding makes it
difficult to make wise
decisions for urban
development projects and
prevents the use of
sustainable building
techniques.
Proposed Solution/Idea
The principal concept put
forth by the writer is utilizing
the Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) to
methodically assess and rank
various green building
characteristics according to
the viewpoints of those
involved in the urban
environment of the
Philippines. Using this
approach, the study aims to
pinpoint the most important
characteristics that need to
be prioritized in green
building projects.
Methodology
The Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) approach is a
systematic decision-making
process that the author uses
to gather and evaluate
stakeholder perspectives
about the significance of
different green building
qualities. To determine
prioritizing scores, this
entails building an attribute
hierarchy, doing pairwise
comparisons, and
synthesizing judgments.
Identify Gaps
The research approach is
sound, however there might
be issues with sample
representativeness, potential
bias in stakeholder views,
and the applicability of

particular metropolitan
contexts under study.
Furthermore, it's possible
that the study did not
thoroughly examine the
socioeconomic ramifications
and practical issues related
to incorporating various
green building features.

 Evaluation of Sustainable Construction Sites: A Lean, Green and Well-being
Authors Perspective
The writers have compassion
for all parties involved in the
building sector, such as
developers, contractors, and
laborers, in addition to the
larger community that is
affected by construction
operations. Their objective is
to tackle the diverse
obstacles encountered by
various interested parties in
order to establish
sustainable construction
sites that give precedence to
social welfare, economic
viability, and environmental
conservation.
Integrated Approach
Problem Definition
The study highlights the
substantial negative effects
that conventional
construction methods have
on the environment and
society, which highlights the
necessity for sustainable
construction approaches. In
order to achieve fully
sustainable construction
sites, a major obstacle is the
absence of integration
between lean concepts,
environmental sustainability,
and worker well-being.
Proposed Solution/Idea
The authors' primary
suggestion is an integrated
strategy that incorporates
worker well-being concerns,
green building techniques,
and lean construction
concepts. Throughout the
course of the project, this
strategy aims to maximize
worker safety and happiness,
reduce negative
environmental effects, and
optimize building
procedures.
Methodology
The authors investigated
current concepts,
approaches, and case
studies pertaining to
sustainable construction by
conducting an extensive
review of the literature. To
create an integrated
framework for assessing
sustainable construction
sites, they combined
research from a number of application of the suggested
fields, including
environmental science,
public health, and
construction management.
Identify Gaps
Although the research

Author's Perspective
The author has empathy for
academics, policymakers,
and professionals in the
construction sector who are
working to promote
sustainable building
techniques. In order to
identify trends, obstacles,
and possibilities in
sustainable construction, it is
crucial to synthesize existing
research. This will help to
guide future research and
practice in the sector.
Problem Definition
Through a methodical
analysis of the literature, the
study tackles the difficulty of
comprehending and applying
sustainable concepts in
construction projects. It
highlights the need for all-
encompassing methods to
address environmental,
social, and economic
concerns by attempting to
identify major themes,
trends, and gaps in the body
of research literature
currently available on
sustainability in the
construction industry.
Proposed Solution/Idea
The author's major argument
is a synthesis of previous
studies to create a thorough
grasp of sustainability in
building projects. This entails
examining literature from a
range of academic fields,
such as engineering,
environmental science, and
construction management, to
find best practices, new
trends, and potential topics
for further study and
investigation.
Methodology
In order to find and examine
pertinent research articles,
conference papers, and
reports about sustainability
in building projects, the
author used a methodical
literature review approach.
After ensuring the inclusion
of high-quality research
through the use of preset
search and selection criteria,
they extracted, synthesized,
and analyzed the data to find
important themes and
patterns.
Identify Gaps
Although the research offers
insightful information about
the current status of
sustainability in building
projects, it might not
address the practical
difficulties involved in
putting sustainable practices

Furthermore, it's possible
that the literature study

Author's Perspective
It is likely that the writers of
the comprehensive literature
review on sustainable
construction options for
affordable housing have
empathy for developers,
policymakers, urban
planners, low-income
neighborhoods, and other
housing project
stakeholders. Their point of
view probably highlights how
critical it is to meet the
housing requirements of
disadvantaged groups while
advancing social justice and
environmental sustainability.

alternatives. The authors
acknowledge that
conventional building
techniques exacerbate
resource depletion and
environmental degradation
while frequently failing to
address the needs of low-
income households.
TOPIC:
Proposed Solution/Idea
The main idea presented by
the authors is to conduct a
systematic literature review
to identify and assess
sustainable construction
strategies applicable to the
development of affordable
housing. Through this
review, they aim to
synthesize existing research
and best practices to inform
the design, construction,
and management of
affordable housing projects
with a focus on
sustainability.
Methodology
The authors use a systematic
literature review methodology
that includes defining research
questions, creating inclusion
and exclusion criteria, looking
for pertinent literature,
screening and choosing
studies, extracting data, and
synthesizing findings. This
methodology is similar to other
systematic reviews. They most
likely use scholarly databases,
journals, papers, and other
sources to compile a thorough
literature review on low-cost,
sustainable building
techniques.
Identify Gaps
The systematic literature
review offers insightful
information on sustainable
construction methods for
affordable housing, but it
might not fully address the
particular difficulties and
contextual variables that affect
how well these methods work
and how scalable they are in
various geographical and
socioeconomic contexts.
Furthermore, it's possible that
the evaluation will ignore the
priorities and viewpoints of
vulnerable groups and
marginalized communities.

Benefits of Your Solution
By incorporating case studies and field research, the
proposed approach offers a more nuanced understanding
of the challenges and opportunities associated with
sustainable affordable housing development. It enables
the identification of context-specific strategies and
interventions that can effectively address the housing
needs of low-income households while promoting
environmental stewardship and social inclusion. Moreover,
by engaging with diverse stakeholders and amplifying
marginalized voices, the proposed approach fosters
participatory decision-making processes and promotes
equitable access to sustainable housing solutions.
