İNŞAAT SEKTÖRÜNÜN DÖNGÜSEL EKONOMİYE GEÇİŞ SÜRECİNDE SEKTÖRDEKİ KURULUŞLARIN STRATEJİK ANALİZİ

Öz

Mevcut üretim yöntemlerinin tüm dünyayı olumsuz olarak etkileyen ciddi çevresel etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu durum sonucu oluşan endişe; birçok otoriteyi, bireyi ve kuruluşu geri dönüşü olmayan çevresel zararları önlemeye yöneltmiştir. Bu soruna yanıt olarak döngüsel ekonomi, çevresel etkiyi en aza indiren döngüsel iş modellerini benimseyerek üretim yöntemlerini çevre açısından zararsız hale getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çok sayıda çalışma, inşaat faaliyetlerinin çevreye zararlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. İnşaat sektöründe yapılmakta olan üretim faaliyetlerinin çoğunda doğal kaynaklardan elde edilen mineral hammaddeler kullanılmaktadır. Kullanım ömürleri sona erdiğinde, bu mineral kaynaklar onarılamazlar, yeniden kullanılamazlar ve geri dönüştürülemezler. Bu durum döngüsel ekonomi ilkelerine ters düşmektedir. Bu çalışma, inşaat sektörünün teşvikler, müşteri talepleri ya da yasal zorunluluklar gibi nedenlerle döngüsel bir ekonomi haline geleceğini öngörmektedir. Bu nedenle, inşaat şirketleri ve mimarlar ve mühendisler gibi müşavir firmalar döngüsel ekonomiye uyum sağlamak zorunda kalacaktır. PESTEL analizi, organizasyonlar için makro çevresel değişiklikleri tahmin etmek için kullanılır. Bu nedenle çalışmada döngüsel ekonomiye geçiş sürecinde inşaat organizasyonları için PESTEL analizi yapılmıştır. Bu analize göre, inşaat şirketleri döngüsel bir inşaat sektörüne geçişte başarılı olmak ve hayatta kalmak için değişiklikler yapmalıdır. Daha karmaşık iş ağlarına entegrasyon, hizmete dayalı bir ekonomiye uyum sağlama, yönetim becerilerini geliştirme ve işgücü yeteneklerini iyileştirme bu değişiklikler arasındadır.

A STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATIONS DURING THE INDUSTRY'S TRANSITION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Öz

Current production methods have serious environmental impacts, which concerns the world. This concern has led many authorities, individuals, and organizations to prevent irreversible environmental damage. In response to this issue, the circular economy is revolutionizing production by adopting circular business models that minimize environmental impact. Numerous studies have found construction activities to be environmentally harmful. Mineral raw materials from natural sources are used in most construction procurement and production. Once their useful life is over, these mineral resources are irreparable, non-reusable, and non-recyclable. This scenario violates circular economy principles. This study predicts that the construction industry will become more circular in response to demands, obligations, and directives that encourage environmentally friendly production strategies like the circular economy. Thus, construction companies and design consultants must adapt to the circular economy. PESTEL analysis is used to predict macroenvironmental changes for construction organizations. According to the PESTEL analysis, construction companies must make changes to succeed and survive in transition to a circular construction industry. Integration into more complex business networks, adapting to a service-based economy, improving management skills, and improving workforce capabilities are among these changes.
