Drivers towards Adopting Modular Integrated Construction for Affordable Sustainable Housing: A Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM) Method

This study features the development of a framework to identify drivers towards increasing adoption modular integrated construction (MiC) methods for affordable sustainable housing (ASH). The rise offsite (OSC) techniques, especially MiC, has been evident in recent years. MiC’s ASH is still underdeveloped; however, due various benefits MiC over conventional methods, it envisioned be significant emerging approach tackling growing demand, and particular. Although few prior studies identified some factors utilization ASH, date have not provided holistic review or comprehensive interrelationships between such drivers. To address this issue, utilizes three-way process including systematic literature review, semi-structured interviews Total Interpretive Structure Modelling (TISM) method ASH. Initially, 111 were extracted from 40 existing literature. Following that, grouped into cost, time, productivity, quality, environmental, social, policy demand. Drawing on concepts systems thinking graph theory, TISM model eight was developed both interview results. Four levels hierarchy found among containing linkage, driving, depending autonomous.
