本論文は、ラゴスにおける混在使用建築物向けの持続可能な建築材料としてのインターロッキング安定化土ブロック（ISSB）に関する文献レビューである。2022～2025年の15の研究を分析し、ISSBが適切な圧縮強度、室内温熱快適性、遮音性能、低 embodied energy、コスト削減効果を持つことを示す一方、規制枠組みの欠如や専門家の認識不足が普及の障壁となっている。
English
This thematic review examines Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) as a sustainable building material for mixed-use buildings in Lagos, Nigeria. Analyzing 15 studies (2022–2025), it finds ISSB offers adequate compressive strength, improved thermal comfort, acoustic performance, reduced embodied energy, and cost savings compared to conventional blocks. However, adoption is hindered by weak regulatory frameworks, low professional awareness, and a lack of design-focused studies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の建設業界では、低炭素建材の採用が進むが、ISSBのような土系材料はまだ一般的ではない。本レビューは、発展途上国における持続可能な建材の普及障壁を示唆しており、日本の建設技術輸出の参考になり得る。
In the global GX context
While ISSB is not a mainstream topic in global climate disclosure, this review highlights the potential of low-cost, low-embodied-energy building materials for urban sustainability in developing countries. It underscores the need for policy support and professional training to scale such alternatives.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Identifies research gaps in integrating ISSB into complex urban typologies, calling for interdisciplinary studies on architectural design and performance optimization.
🏢実務担当者:Provides evidence of ISSB's cost and energy benefits, supporting its consideration for low- to medium-rise mixed-use projects in appropriate contexts.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The increasing demand for sustainable building materials in rapidly urbanizing cities has directed attention toward Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional masonry units. This paper presents a qualitative review of existing scholarly literature (2022–2025) on the role of ISSB in building construction, with particular emphasis on mixed-use developments in Lagos, Nigeria. Using a PRISMA-guided approach, fifteen relevant studies were analyzed thematically across structural performance, thermal and acoustic properties, environmental sustainability, economic implications, and urban applicability. Findings indicate that ISSB offers adequate compressive strength for low- to medium-rise structures, enhances indoor thermal comfort, improves acoustic performance, reduces embodied energy, and provides significant cost savings compared to sandcrete blocks. Despite these advantages, adoption in urban mixed-use contexts is constrained by limited regulatory frameworks, low professional awareness, and a lack of design-oriented studies. The review highlights critical research gaps, particularly in the integration of ISSB into complex urban architectural typologies, and recommends further interdisciplinary investigations to advance sustainable building practices in Lagos.
