ナイジェリア・イモ州の職人を対象に、持続可能な建築技術の採用における技能ギャップと訓練ニーズを評価。認知度は52%だが技能は低く、訓練不足が主な障壁。実践的ワークショップが92%に支持され、政府の建築基準との連携を提言し、最大30%の炭素削減可能性を示す。
English
This study assesses skills gaps and training needs for sustainable building technologies among artisans in Nigeria. Findings show moderate awareness (52%) but severe skill deficits, with training inadequacy as the main barrier. Hands-on workshops are strongly endorsed (92%). Recommendations include artisan certification integrated with building codes, potentially reducing embodied carbon by up to 30%.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The construction sector in Nigeria faces significant barriers to adopting sustainable building technologies (SBTs), particularly among artisans who execute on-site works. This study assesses skills gaps and training needs for SBTs such as passive solar design, rainwater harvesting, and green roofing among masons, carpenters, and plumbers in Imo State. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a survey of 384 artisans selected via stratified random sampling from five local government areas, supplemented by focus group discussions (FGDs) with 45 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and thematic analysis. Findings reveal moderate awareness (52%) of SBTs but profound skills deficits: only 18% of masons proficient in passive solar techniques, 22% of carpenters in green material handling, and 15% of plumbers in rainwater systems. Key barriers include inadequate training (78%), limited access to tools (65%), and low incentives (61%). Training needs prioritize hands-on workshops (92% endorsement) on SBT installation and maintenance. Statistical analysis (χ² = 45.67, p < 0.001) confirms significant associations between experience level and skills gaps. The study recommends artisan certification programs integrated with government policies like Nigeria's National Building Code (2021 amendment). These insights could enhance SBT adoption, reducing embodied carbon in buildings by up to 30% as per UNEP (2023) benchmarks, fostering sustainable urbanization in Imo State..
