Identifying the overall environmental, and socioeconomic impacts of different estate regeneration scenarios can contribute to the overall sustainability of such schemes. Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) is an appropriate tool for assessing holistic sustainability. To achieve resilient societies, the interests of communities should be considered in decision making. This paper proposes a method for incorporating community needs in identifying sustainability metrics for the sustainability assessment of estate regeneration schemes. A literature review in the field of sustainability assessment of buildings is conducted followed by a mixed methods empirical research. Collection of data has been through surveys, an interview, and an evaluation questionnaire. Data has been analysed through statistical and thematic analysis and triangulation of the results. The findings have consistently yielded the limitations of the scope of the current sustainability assessment methodologies, especially for lack of attention to societal impacts of regeneration. The results have justified the need for this research to employ participatory approaches for identifying a relevant set of sustainability indicators and criteria for assessing the lifetime impacts of estate regeneration schemes. Issues related to community involvement in decision making, maintenance and management, community facilities, refurbishment, and disruption have been identified as the stakeholders' top priorities. Mental Health and Socioeconomic Values have been introduced as new criteria. The findings confirm the need for an in-depth approach towards identifying the regeneration priorities of the communities for the scope of LCSA studies. The identified list of criteria can apply to other studies of this context for an equitable approach for selecting the indicators across different criteria and for communicating the LCSA results with different stakeholders.
识别不同的房地产更新方案对整体环境和社会经济的影响,有助于提高此类方案的整体可持续性。生命周期可持续性评估(LCSA)是评估整体可持续性的合适工具。为了实现具有复原力的社会,在决策过程中应考虑社区的利益。本文提出了一种方法,将社区需求纳入确定房地产更新方案可持续性评估的可持续性指标中。首先对建筑可持续性评估领域进行了文献综述,然后进行了混合方法实证研究。数据收集通过调查、访谈和评估问卷进行。通过统计分析、主题分析以及结果的三角验证法对数据进行了分析。研究结果始终揭示了当前可持续性评估方法在范围上的局限性,尤其是缺乏对更新社会影响的关注。结果证明了本研究采用参与式方法来确定一套相关的可持续性指标和标准以评估房地产更新方案终身影响的必要性。与社区参与决策、维护与管理、社区设施、翻新和干扰相关的问题已被确定为利益相关者的首要优先事项。心理健康和社会经济价值已被引入作为新的标准。研究结果证实,对于LCSA研究范围而言,需要一种深入的方法来确定社区的更新优先事项。所确定的标准清单可应用于其他此类研究,以便采用公平的方法在不同标准之间选择指标,并与不同利益相关者交流LCSA结果。
