The accelerating process of urbanization in China has led to considerable opportunities for the development of construction projects, however, environmental issues have become an important constraint on the implementation of these projects. To quantitatively describe the environmental management capabilities of such projects, this paper proposes a 2-dimensional Environmental Management Maturity Model of Construction Program (EMMMCP) based on an analysis of existing projects, group management theory and a management maturity model. In this model, a synergetic process was included to compensate for the lack of consideration of synergies in previous studies, and it was involved in the construction of the first dimension, i.e., the environmental management index system. The second dimension, i.e., the maturity level of environment management, was then constructed by redefining the hierarchical characteristics of construction program (CP) environmental management maturity. Additionally, a mathematical solution to this proposed model was derived via the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-entropy approach. To verify the effectiveness and feasibility of this proposed model, a computational experiment was conducted, and the results show that this approach could not only measure the individual levels of different processes, but also achieve the most important objective of providing a reference for stakeholders when making decisions on the environmental management of construction program, which reflects this model is reasonable for evaluating the level of environmental management maturity in CP. To our knowledge, this paper is the first study to evaluate the environmental management maturity levels of CP, which would fill the gap between project program management and environmental management and provide a reference for relevant management personnel to enhance their environmental management capabilities.
中国城市化进程的加速为建设项目的发展带来了巨大的机遇，但环境问题已成为这些项目实施的重要制约因素。为了定量描述建设项目的环境管理能力，本文在分析现有项目、群体管理理论和管理成熟度模型的基础上，提出了一种二维建设项目环境管理成熟度模型（EMMMCP）。在该模型中，协同过程被包含在内，以弥补以往研究中对协同作用考虑不足的问题，并将其纳入到第一个维度，即环境管理指标体系的构建中。第二个维度，即环境管理成熟度水平，则通过重新定义建设项目环境管理成熟度的层次特征来构建。此外，通过层次分析法-熵方法推导出了该模型的数学解。为了验证该模型的有效性和可行性，进行了计算实验，结果表明，该方法不仅可以衡量不同过程的个体水平，还可以为利益相关者在建设项目环境管理决策中提供参考，这反映了该模型在评估建设项目环境管理成熟度水平方面是合理的。据我们所知，本文首次对建设项目的环境管理成熟度水平进行了评估，这将填补项目规划管理与环境管理之间的空白，并为相关管理人员提供参考，以提高其环境管理能力。
