Comparing Qualitative Analysis Techniques for Construction Engineering and Management Research: The Case of Arctic Water Infrastructure

Lauryn A. Spearing et al.

Summary: Construction is a sociotechnical process that involves interactions between people and the built environment. Qualitative methods have been increasingly used in construction engineering and management (CEM) research, but there is a lack of resources on qualitative method selection and implementation in this field. This paper provides an overview and comparison of three qualitative data analysis techniques applied to a case study on water infrastructure in rural Alaska. The findings show that different analysis techniques can be chosen based on the specific research objectives.

Pathways to the successful function and use of mid-tech household water and sanitation systems

Kaitlin Mattos et al.

Summary: This study utilized qualitative comparative analysis to explore the success factors of household mid-tech water, sanitation, and hygiene systems, revealing the necessity of a combination of technical and social conditions for success. Therefore, it is recommended to engage homeowners, provide training and support, and ensure technical sufficiency before deploying mid-tech systems.

Bridging social capital theory and practice: Evidence from community-managed water treatment plants in Honduras

Kristin B. Dobbin et al.

Summary: Our study found that social capital influences the performance of water treatment plants through three key mediating mechanisms: resource mobilization, resilience to change and conflict, and participation and communication. These mechanisms create a feedback loop between social capital levels and water system operation, with plant performance affecting community social capital. We propose accessible proxies and initial strategies for practitioners to operationalize social capital scholarship and advocate for further translational research to improve outcomes in practice.

Implications of inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure for community spread of COVID-19 in remote Alaskan communities

Laura Eichelberger et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus emerged in December 2019 and quickly spread worldwide. Public health efforts have focused on individual and collective behaviors, but these are influenced by broader social and environmental contexts. Factors within local communities, such as regional policy, historical context, cultural beliefs, and environmental characteristics, affect population health and disease spread.

A Tale of Two Communities: Adopting and Paying for an In-Home Non-Potable Water Reuse System in Rural Alaska

Cara Lucas et al.

Summary: This study examines community perceptions of water reuse and willingness to pay for in-home water reuse systems in two unserved rural Alaska communities. The survey results suggest that the cost of in-home water/sewer infrastructure may exceed what community members are willing or able to pay, with regional differences in acceptable costs and preferences for specific water fixtures.

Household Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Practices Impact Pathogen Exposure in Remote, Rural, Unpiped Communities

Kaitlin J. Mattos et al.

Summary: Study of household water, sanitation, and hygiene practices in remote, rural, and unpiped communities in Alaska found that exposure to pathogens goes beyond typical fecal-oral transmission routes. Water haul, sources, quality, reuse, greywater and human waste disposal were evaluated in 43 homes over a year. Total coliforms were detected in stored household water, with counts significantly higher in specific sources and seasons, indicating important pathways of disease transmission. Strategies at the household and community levels are discussed to interrupt exposure pathways before piped infrastructure is installed.

Participatory Modeling of Water Vulnerability in Remote Alaskan Households Using Causal Loop Diagrams

Antonia Sohns et al.

Summary: This study uses a participatory modeling approach to investigate household water vulnerability in remote Alaska. It identifies environmental and economic factors as key influences on water availability and access. Stakeholders highlighted policy solutions under themes of economics, social, regulatory, technological, and environmental to address household water vulnerability and enhance resilience.
