Integrating Sustainability in Project Management: A Case Study of Anhui Ligong Real Estate Co. Ltd., Anhui ()
ABSTRACT
Sustainability has evolved into being a recognized component of decision
making. Also, integrating sustainability in project management has had dynamism
in the research field over the few last decades. The absorption and demand for
sustainability in the development market are increasing, as the focus of
concretizing the idea of sustainability within challenging projects. This
research shows how sustainability can be incorporated into the project by a
project manager and in the project management process by being more proactive
in meeting customer needs and demands. However, we work hand in hand with
Program managers to optimize green construction design and environmental
protection. Third-party agencies also conduct environmental assessments to know
how sustainable the project to meet the demands of the future generation. This
paper presents a discussion on which
project management roles have what influence sustainability in the process of
project management by using the Turner’s Model to investigate whether the assumptions made by Turner are true for the case “Anli Homeland” project.
Data were drawn from five interviews administered with the major partners
(program manager, project manager, two deputy project managers, and the client)
of these five all are valid, analyzed, and juxtaposed to the model. The results
show the project manager possesses medium responsibility regarding the holistic
approach; he also has a towering responsibility for participation and low
control for long term view and risk reduction. This perception is established
on the notion that a project leader is internally stimulated to work on
a project and attain a more sustainable outcome. Ideally, this research is to
mitigate negligence along with raising the confidence amongst project leaders
to consistently engage in sustainability work through new methods and routines.
