Abstract
Housing problem in Egypt is escalating with the increasing number of population. This is why the government is taking serious actions to initiate national cooperative housing projects in new cities; nevertheless, this requires proper management of available natural resources. In this regard, site selection is considered the primary decision upon which many consequential decisions. It creates a corner stone with sustainable decisions on the urban and building levels. Hence, the proposed sustainable management framework (SCHMF) tackles the entire building process as well as individual practices for site selection; showing how it links with upper strategic levels of city planning and detailed levels of building design. Accordingly, the study has applied a sequence of steps; starting by the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) to investigate the effect of site selection on the urban level focusing on how real life problems and decisions of occupational location can be maintained through the integration of mapping and modeling techniques. Then, managerial science approaches are used to represent and simulate the feedback loops for proper site selection using guidelines from green building rating systems. This framework shows dominant and latent feedback loops with other sustainable categories-particularly energy efficiency. It is intended for institutional use to enable comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of housing projects on defined intervals as a sort of design, management and control procedure on both the building and urban levels.

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
