Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating and assessing the feasibility of using green construction management in construction projects in Tonekabon city. The method of this research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive survey in terms of implementation method, and quantitative in terms of data analysis method. The statistical population of the present study consists of experts active in the field of green construction in Tonekabon city, of which about 10 people with at least 15 years of experience in green construction in this city were selected. The researcher's questionnaire plays the role of a data collection tool in this study, the validity of which was confirmed by professors and experts, and the reliability of the research was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha calculation. Another questionnaire used in this study was the Paired Comparisons Questionnaire for AHP analysis. The results of the one-sample t-test showed that individual, competency, and managerial barriers were significant at 99% of the implementation barriers to green construction in Tonekabon County. After identifying the factors using the fuzzy AHP analysis method, the ranking results showed that the important factors in the lack of implementation of green construction in Tonekabon city include:1) Lack of access to specialized personnel, 2) Lack of private sector investment in green construction, 3) Lack of access to necessary infrastructure, 4) Lack of attention from project managers to green construction5) Lack of attention to the environment among the workforce, 6) Low or very limited environmental knowledge of individuals, 7)Lack of appropriate technical support in the field of green construction, 8)Lack of proper infrastructure in the field of construction waste recycling 9) Lack of proper planning 10) Inadequate management 11) Lack of economic efficiency of green construction from the perspective of project managers 12) Lack of initiative by project managers in the field of green supply chain 13) Failure to define a comprehensive and dynamic process 14) Lack of appropriate culture 15) Lack of knowledge in the field of green construction.
