- Description
- In many engineering sectors, sustainability is a matter of concern. The construction sector is no exception, this is because of its ability to cause harmful effects to the environment through waste generation, energy and water consumption and several other forms of damage to the environment. This has led to experts in the sustainability field calling for a need of sustainable ways of carrying out construction. In this study, information about the sustainability culture and perceptions that exist in Johannesburg was extracted from data gathered from questionnaires based on various types of qualifications, knowledge, and experience of respondents in transport infrastructure delivery. A transportation official understanding the need for sustainable transportation and wishing to do something about it may likely be unable to do so. This is due to the fact that authorities do not always have the mandate, responsibility, power, or support to make decisions that are consistent with sustainable development. It can be said that key issues to sustainability governance of transport infrastructure delivery are: a lack of policy; and a lack of awareness in government, private, and consulting organisations that focus on the delivery of transport infrastructure. The lack of sustainable infrastructure delivery models creates the need to determine the important factors impacting on the governance of sustainable delivery of transport infrastructure in Johannesburg. The matrix has revealed that there is a ‘Moderate’ familiarity and ‘Average’ understanding of sustainability governance as a concept. From the data collected, it is also clear that the current transport infrastructure in Johannesburg is ‘Moderately’ effective at serving its sustainability purpose. This study hopes to be the basis upon which ground-breaking methods to encourage sustainability governance strategies for transport infrastructure projects and further studies are predicated.
