Community perceptions of environmental risks associated with large construction projects

大型建筑项目对环境产生巨大影响，但这方面的研究很少，特别是在发展中国家，采购了许多这类项目。此外，研究往往侧重于生态影响，而忽视社会和文化问题。其结果是，人们对受影响社区如何形成环境风险的看法缺乏了解。为了解决这一问题，我们的目标是建立一个研究议程，调查中国大型建设项目影响的社区如何看待环境风险。其结果将是提出建议，帮助建筑公司制定可持续的、协商性的和对社会敏感的做法。

Large construction projects have an enormous environmental impact, yet there has been little research in this area, particularly in developing countries where many such projects are being procured. Furthermore, research tends to focus on ecological impacts and ignore social and cultural issues. The result is a poor understanding of how perceptions of environmental risk are shaped in affected communities. To address this problem, we aim to establish a research agenda to investigate how communities affected by large construction projects in China perceive environmental risks. The outcome will be recommendations to help construction companies develop sustainable, consultative and socially sensitive practices.
