Analysis of Stakeholder Perceptions of Safety-Risk Construction in High-Rise Building Projects to Increase Construction Safety Performance in Indonesia

Abstract:

The construction of high-rise buildings, particularly in major cities in Indonesia, is one of the alternative development approaches undertaken to address land limitations. High-rise construction involves hazardous work due to the unique characteristics and complexities of the work environment, which can potentially lead to accidents. The high incidence of construction accidents is closely related to the parties directly involved in construction projects, commonly referred to as stakeholders. In Indonesia, construction stakeholders include contractors, subcontractors, structural consultants, architectural consultants, owners, and supervising consultants. This study aims to analyze the stakeholders' perceptions and understanding of construction safety risks in high-rise buildings using photographic Q-methodology. Additionally, Kendall's W coefficient, Friedman's χ2, and Kruskal-Wallis analyses are used to measure stakeholders' understanding. Overall, contractors, subcontractors, structural consultants, owners, and supervising consultants demonstrate a moderate level of understanding, while architectural consultants exhibit a lower level of understanding. Based on these findings, the author formulates recommendations to enhance the understanding of all stakeholders regarding construction safety risks in Indonesia. These findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders and policymakers, enabling them to better understand the perceptions and understanding of each stakeholder in construction projects and ultimately improve construction safety performance in Indonesia.
