Abstract:

Aimed to the social risk appraise of construction project, the qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the theory and empirical research methodologies are used in this paper, and taking a Demolition and Relocation Project of Guangzhou as the Study Case. Based on questionnaire investigation and depth interview to the samples of reference groups in this project, the potential social risk and the real appeals of the reference groups are described systematically and objectively in this paper. In the mean time, the SPSS software is used to analyses the statistical data. Finally, focused on above analysis, the relevant suggestions to prevent the social risk are proposed. Appraising conclusion shows that most sensitive people, within the scope of demolition, agree on the quasi decision-making matters on the construction project, and at least, they are not opposed to it. However, there are several practical issues to which we need to pay close attentions and to require proper solutions. Before these issues are solved, suspending the demolition is suggested.
