A DPSIR Framework to Evaluate and Predict the Development of Prefabricated Buildings: A Case Study

Prefabricated building construction is an important method of enhancing productivity and promoting sustainable development in the industry. Evaluating predicting performance prefabricated buildings will contribute to identifying implementing most effective responses promote technologies. Based on Drives–Pressures–States–Impacts–Responses (DPSIR) framework, 14 evaluation indexes are determined evaluate level buildings. The entropy weight was used determine index, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with improved grey correlation applied comprehensively trend index. model (GM(1,1)) developed predict Shandong province, China, employed as a case apply investigate experiences. results demonstrate that has achieved significant progress great potential use recommendations include developing policy regulation system, strengthening talent pool, investment technological innovation. This study innovatively formulated prediction system based DPSIR, TOPSIS GM(1,1) models, which could be evaluating between social environmental factors among various cause-effect relationships.
