Abstract

As the promotion of environmental management and sustainable development has been overwhelming in recent years, there is a growing awareness of environmental issues and the potential problems from deterioration of the environment. Generally speaking, building and housing are not environmentally friendly activities. The effects of these activities include land use and land deterioration, resource depletion, waste generation, and various forms of pollution.
