The knowledge and holistic management indicators to measure the sustainability of area-based infrastructure project (AIP)

Abstract

For determining the effectiveness of area-based infrastructure management, a comprehensive measurement to implement and develop an infrastructure project would need to be integrated in holistic and knowledge management. The main objective of this study was to identify the keys to measurement the sustainability of area-based infrastructure project (AIP) management. First, the key performance indicators were reviewed and selected. Next, the interviews with project developers and managers of the pilot site were conducted to investigate the real context of significant keys. The discussion with five experts who have relevant experience in area-based infrastructure projects management then arose to validate possible key performance indicators. Based on the expert comments, the questionnaire was revised for its validity and clarity. Then, the data collection using a questionnaire was sent out to representative samples across Thailand. Later, there was the analysis to interpret the survey results. The results revealed that there are two groups of keys to measure the sustainability of AIP management. One was the “Holistic Management (HM)”, which consisted of seventeen components. The other was the “Knowledge Management (KM)”, which involved six similarity items. It was found that the aforementioned factors can explain 70.024% of the total cumulative variance in the entire datasets compiled for the assessment of keys to measurement the sustainability of AIP management. The main outcomes from this study can be beneficial for the development of effective and good governance strategies for achieving sustainability patterns of area-based infrastructure project management. This theory offers the understanding of how the effectiveness of key measurement of AIP management can drive sustainable development project s, which can help in project manager and developer research on identity-related transitions.
