Abstract

The project’s stakeholders play an important role in the project success. Thus, the objectives of the project cannot be fully achieved regardless of the stakeholders’ needs. Road construction projects are projects where there are multiple stakeholders with different needs, and given that these projects are usually large-scale projects with high costs, the lack of proper management of stakeholders will be very effective on the project success. A direct relationship is found between stakeholders’ concerns and the importance of stakeholders. The purpose of the present study is to identify and analyze the concerns of key and more importantly stakeholders in road construction projects. In the present study, interest and power matrices have been used with fuzzy method and expert opinions, as well as types of stakeholders’ concerns for stakeholders’ prioritization and then more important stakeholders’ concerns using social network method have been investigated, key stakeholders challenges have been addressed and solutions to these challenges have been presented.
