Abstract

In the event of emergencies, inadequate emergency management in large-scale building construction projects can result in significant losses and adverse social impacts. Currently, there are still numerous problems in emergency management for these projects, and related research is insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the current state and improvement demands of emergency organization and resource management for large-scale building construction projects during the construction phase when handling unexpected emergencies. To achieve this aim, this study first identified potential problems and improvement demands in emergency organization and resource management for large-scale building construction projects through theoretical analysis and expert interviews. Then, this study developed a survey questionnaire and collected responses from 30 construction professionals in China who have participated in large-scale building construction projects. The analysis of the research results finalized the current state and notable improvement demands of emergency organization and resource management for large-scale building construction projects. The results first indicated that: (1) in terms of emergency organization management, work coordination among relevant parties and the quality of information communication have significant improvement demand; (2) in terms of emergency resource management, forecasting of emergency resource demand, acquisition channels, and reserve mechanisms show improvement demand. To address these demands, emergency organization management requires optimization from the perspectives of internal and external coordination mechanisms and information communication mechanisms; Emergency resource management requires improvement in both forecasting methods and reserve models. The results of this study first provide a foundation and direction for future research on emergency organization and resource management in large-scale building construction projects. Moreover, stakeholders in these projects can refer to the results of this study to identify their weaknesses in emergency organization and resource management and propose optimization strategies in a targeted manner.
