Maintenance Management Framework for Municipal Buildings in Developing Economies
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
2 193 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The central aim of this book is to investigate and develop frameworks to aid effective maintenance management of municipal buildings in the education sector of developing economies. Using the South African education sector as a case study, this book provides readers with two major practical insights. Firstly, it focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of maintenance management research and introduces a maintenance management model through the development of a conceptual framework. This framework aids in explaining the factors underpinning the maintenance of municipal buildings but can also be used in the assessment and management of other public buildings. Secondly, the book highlights and addresses theoretical gaps in existing studies essential for the maintenance management of buildings in developing economies, providing a stimulus for future research. The book will be of interest to researchers in construction management, building technology, estate management, civil engineering, architecture, and urban and regional planning. It is an essential manual for policymakers in the education sector, built environment, construction industry, facility maintenance, facility management and consultants at government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) charged with maintenance management of public infrastructures and assets.

Adaptive Safety Incentives Framework for Construction Organisations in Developing Economies

The central aim of this book is to focus on safety incentives in a construction context and conceptualise an adaptive safety incentive framework for construction firms in the global south. This book is a collection of knowledge on safety incentives and their impact on improving workplace safety, motivating workers' safety practices, and improving organisations' performance goals in the construction industry. With primary research conducted in Nigeria, and secondary comparisons with Ghana, South Africa, China, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, the conceptualised framework provides insights into the multifaceted factors influencing safety incentives in the construction sector. By explaining the behavioural approach to creating reward systems that minimise unintended consequences and maximise happiness, health, wealth, and success, this book takes a pragmatic approach to developing safety incentives and provides significant practical insights. This book identifies the gaps in safety incentives studies by critically reviewing related models, theories, and conceptual models to provide significant recommendations that support the implementation of safety incentives in the construction industry in the global south. Guiding readers on templates for developing safety incentives, this book will interest professionals in building construction, project management, quantity surveying, civil engineering, human resource management studies, and occupational safety and health (OSH) and owners of construction organisations, as well as researchers in all these fields.
Regenerative Principles in Facilities Design and Urban Re-modeling in Developing Countries

In the face of rapid urbanization and environmental challenges, the developing world stands at a crossroads. Conventional sustainable design, often modelled on Global North precedents, is proving insufficient to address the deep-seated infrastructural and socio-economic complexities of these unique contexts. This book argues for a radical shift from simply minimizing harm to actively healing and restoring our communities and ecosystems through regenerative architecture.Moving beyond theory, this work provides a critical and practical roadmap for applying regenerative principles specifically in the challenging environments of developing nations. We delve into the core of what makes regeneration different, showcasing how it can produce net-positive energy and water systems, enhance biodiversity, foster social equity, and create economic value where it is needed most.The heart of this book lies in its actionable insights and real-world evidence. Through a series of detailed case studies-from innovative adaptive reuse in Ghana and decentralized renewable systems in Rwanda to community-driven projects in South Africa, we demonstrate viable solutions. These are contrasted with lessons from pioneering examples in Sweden, the UK, and Canada, not as blueprints to copy, but as sources of adaptable strategies.A significant focus is given to a deep-dive case study of Nigeria, offering a nuanced examination of its colonial architectural legacy, current urban pressures, and the emergent regenerative strategies that blend vernacular wisdom with modern innovation.This book is more than a reference; it is a call to action. It provides policymakers with frameworks for supportive regulations, offers practitioners design strategies and performance metrics, and equips students and researchers with a comprehensive conceptual foundation. By championing an approach that is both context-sensitive and aspirational, this book serves as an essential guide for anyone committed to building resilient, vibrant, and equitable urban futures in the developing world and beyond.
