About Journal

FOCUS AND SCOPE

The proposed articles can come from the fields of material, structure, geotechnical, construction management, water resources, transportation, implementation method, health and safety work in planning, operating, evaluating, maintenance of building, bridge, and environment.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Peer-reviews assists the editor in making decisions to be accepted or rejected by an article that enters Applied Research on Civil Engineering and Environment (ARCEE), peer-reviewed (a sustainable partner) to conduct a blinded review and evaluation of papers that are reasonable in authors expertise. The reviewers do not know the author's name and the name of the author's institution as blind-review. It means to avoid conflicts of interest and to assure the quality of the paper.

Each paper is reviewed at least by two reviewers using track change in the article. All comments, suggestions, and reviewers' comments are written by using track change. It is to facilitate the editor and writer team in communicating the results of the review. Thus, Applied Research on Civil Engineering and Environment (ARCEE) does not require any other form to deliver the results of the report from the reviewer to the editorial team.

OPEN ACCESS POLICY

The Applied Research on Civil Engineering and Environment (ARCEE) provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Foreword

The ethics of scientific publications in the ARCEE Journal is used to guide that all the writings published in the journal have followed ethical principles in academic publications to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. This paper presents several articles related to the field of science and technology in civil engineering and guidance on ethics in this journal publication (authors, editors, truthful partners, publishers, and readers).

Guidelines on Ethics in Journal Publications

The ARCEE Journal publishes articles from the results of scientific research in the field of civil engineering and environment and has not been edited or in the process of submission in other publications.

The proposed articles can come from the fields of material, structure, geotechnical, construction management, water resources, and environment, transportation, and implementation method & health and safety work in planning, operating, evaluating, and maintenance of building, bridge, and environment.

The papers sent to ARCEE Journal must be able to point the quality of the writing of the author. Therefore, it is essential to arrange standards in ethical behavior for all colleague engaged in the publication: authors, editors, partners, publishers, and journal sponsors.

AUTHOR'S ASSIGNMENT in the ARCEE Journal

Standard Article

Articles are original reports of research results and present accurate articles from research conducted by the objectives. The data presented in the paper must be accurate based on research results. Published articles must be adequate and detailed so that they can use as references or references for other researchers. The team editor will not accept presented data, not by ethical behavior in ARCEE Journal.

Plagiarism and Originality

The author has to ensure the article written is the original work of the author himself. If the author enters the results of the research or references from others, the author must admit the name of the author of the article. Plagiarism is an action of imitating and copying all items relating to what is written by another writer and claimed by another author without including the original author. This deed of plagiarism is unethi When Wcal behavior in the publication and not able accepted in Journal ARCEE.

Abstract

The construction industry plays a significant role in the country, while project delays cause various problems. Regarding that, communication is very influential on the project performance, especially time performance. This study aims to identify the factors that affect project communications, identify the effect of project communications management on project time performance, and analyze project communications management strategies for improving time performance. The calculation of the Relative Importance Index was carried out to determine the factors that affect project communications. Meanwhile, a simple linear regression analysis was carried out to find out the magnitude of the effect of project communications management on project time performance. The project communications management strategy was obtained by mapping stakeholders using the power/interest grid method. The data was collected based on observations and the results of questionnaires filled out by 38 respondents, consisting of the owner, supervisor consultant, and contractor on the design-build project used as a case study. The results showed the top 10 factors influencing project communications with the highest Relative Importance Index value. The simple linear regression analysis result showed that project communications management has a positive and significant effect on project time performance with a coefficient of determination value of 69.6%. The suggested project communications management strategy is to optimize the application of the main factors of project communications, tailored to the result of the power/interest grid for each project stakeholder.
