The Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Project Management (JSCMPM) acts as a leading international platform for advancing knowledge and innovation in the sustainable use of construction materials and the effective management of construction projects. It aims to promote evidence-based solutions that tackle urgent challenges related to resource efficiency, environmental stewardship, climate resilience, and equitable development in the built environment. By encouraging interdisciplinary research and practice, the journal supports the global effort to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, resilient infrastructure, sustainable transportation systems, mobility, and climate action.
JSCMPM welcomes original research articles, technical notes, review papers, and case studies that present novel insights, systematic analyses, and practical applications in the following key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Sustainable and Alternative Construction Materials: Research on recycled aggregates, quarry dust, fly ash, calcined earthen resources, industrial by-products, innovative admixtures, and composite materials that reduce environmental impact and improve construction efficiency; including life-cycle assessment, durability studies, and circular economy practices.
Construction Project Management: Advances in construction productivity, resource optimization, quality and safety management, sustainable procurement, risk and contract management, logistics, digital transformation (e.g., BIM, digital twins), and waste minimization in project delivery.
Transportation Engineering: Studies addressing sustainable transportation infrastructure, encompassing innovative pavement and roadway materials, traffic flow analysis and modeling, smart and green mobility solutions, safety and logistics management, and other strategies that enhance efficiency, resilience, and environmental sustainability of transportation networks, particularly in developing and climate-vulnerable regions, in alignment with the SDGs.
Infrastructure Systems and Applications: Sustainable approaches for roads, bridges, railways, ports, harbors, airports, and other critical infrastructure, integrating new materials and methods to improve resilience, climate adaptation, and low-carbon development.
Policy, Economics, and Education for Sustainability: Insights on regulatory frameworks, financing models, incentives, educational initiatives, and capacity-building strategies that promote the adoption of sustainable materials and project management practices in the construction industry.
By providing a platform for rigorous research and knowledge exchange across academia, industry, and government, JSCMPM supports evidence-based innovations that advance the construction and transportation sector’s contribution to sustainable development.
