In-Depth Information
In order to assure the efficiency of a project, it should be executed within certain
bounds that are determined by micro-, meso- and macro-level factors.
Model of Built Environment Life Cycle Process for Climate Change Mitigation
and Adaptation was developed with the goal of integrating the environmental,
energetic, political, economical, legal/regulatory, infrastructural, technical, tech-
nological, pollution, health, quality of life, social, cultural, ethical, psychological,
emotional, religious, ethnic and other aspects of the process over the life of the
climate change mitigation. Description of some above micro, meso and macro
factors are follows.
3.1 Macro-Level Factors
The highest level at which factors may be considered is the macro-level factors.
The level of efficiency and the scope of activities of the built environment depend
on the next macro-level variable factors:
• a key economic indicators for the country as a whole,
• the global warming price,
• stakeholders,
• civil conflicts,
• human culture,
• religion,
• ethics,
• Easterlin paradox and happiness economics,
• intervention of government,
• physical infrastructure,
• Financial sector,
• interest rate,
• environment issues,
• unemployment,
• labour skill level,
• wages level,
• insurance,
• inflation,
• innovations,
• exchange rate,
• unofficial economy, etc.
A few examples regarding relations of climate change and macro-level factors
(the global warming price, stakeholders, climate mobility social and civil conflicts,
climate change and human culture, religion, ethics, easterlin paradox and happi-
ness economics) are follows.
