Barriers to Using Cloud Computing in Sustainable Construction in Nigeria: A Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation

This study aims to assess the barriers impeding cloud computing (CC) applicability in sustainable construction. A total of 11 use CC were identified for literature review. questionnaire survey was used collect data from construction stakeholders. In total, 101 valid responses obtained and analyzed using mean ranking, normalized value (NV), overlapping analysis, Kruskal–Wallis H test, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE). The EFA extracted four interrelated components: social, economic, expertise, connectivity. These components exported mathematical analyzing FSE technique. As a result, indicated that connectivity is highest-impacted component, while overall impact level inclined high regarding due other having an average level. this regard, findings reflect actual current status developing countries research will allow stakeholders take proactive steps toward increasing their future Decision-makers could also make accurate decisions are well-informed managing barriers. paper provides stakeholders, researchers, decision-makers with list hinder countries.
