文档介绍：Ethics for the Built Environment
Built environment professionals are expected to meet high standards of client care as
well as maintain their own professional codes. Much closer relationships are being
formed in the development of the built environment and cultural changes in procure-
ment methods are taking place so that the need has grown to re-examine the ethical
frameworks required to sustain collaborative trust and transparency. Young profes-
sionals are moving panies on a more frequent basis and taking their
personal values with them, but need guidance. What panies do to support their
employees?
The book looks at how people develop their personal values and it tries to set up a
model for making effective ethical decisions. It exposes areas of weakness that may
inhibit better relationships in projects and partnerships and suggests decision-making
frameworks.
Part I establishes some theory and critically evaluates a number of topical areas through
the life-cycle of development to give a holistic view of built environment ethics. Part II
illustrates good practice by using case studies and questions for resolving dilemmas.
Chapters cover the following issues:
• Ethical foundations and dilemmas
• Human rights, moral integrity and employment law and equal opportunities
• Professional conduct and integrity and good faith
• The ethics of development control
• Trust, business morals and relationships
• Corporate social responsibility and governance, and their implementation in
construction and anisations
• Corruption, procurement petition
• The role of education and development
• Responsibility for sustainability, health and safety and the environment.
This book will be invaluable to professional institutions, students, contractors, clients
and young practitioners in all stages of the development cycle from planning, property
management, design, project management and facilities management.
