Abstract
A comprehensive well coordinated strategy involving all aspects of construction development is advocated as environmental consciousness should be considered as a culture in Palestine. Continuing the series of papers on construction in Palestine, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, the author concentrates on the need for harmonized development to sustain the environment. An analysis of the Gaza seaport project demonstrates the need to educate professionals working within the construction industry on environmental issues, in particular the steps needed in carrying out the environmental impact assessment of any construction project, The author believes that further studies to increase knowledge are needed.

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
