The green construction site index (GCSI): a quantitative tool used to assess an ongoing project to meet the green construction concept

The development of the construction industry in Indonesia has been substantially contributing to the enhancement of the social and economic development of the people. However, its expansion has also become an issue, as the development might be implicated in the abuse of environmental sustainability...
