Vu, Thu Hang (2017) Equity issues in land acquisition: A source of delays in large construction projects in Vietnam. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
Delays in construction projects are a recurring and global problem, with delays in land acquisition considered one of the largest contributors of delays in large construction projects in Vietnam. This research aims to investigate the formation of equity perceptions of land-acquired households and the relationship between equity issues and delays in construction projects. A theoretical model with four propositions, is proposed that links equity issues, comparisons, equity perceptions, and responses of land-acquired communities that cause delays in large construction projects in Vietnam. Using a case study approach, semi-structured interviews of 40 land-acquired households was conducted across two large construction projects in Vietnam. The findings of this research could provide better understanding of the relationship between equity issues and delays, which can help to minimise delays in large construction projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
