The questionnaire was divided into 4 parts which are general information, practices of sustainable development and project management, integrating sustainable development into project management processes and integrating sustainable development into areas of PMBOK. The data collected was analyzed using WEKA and Microsoft Excel. The findings show that Malaysian construction industry is ready to adopt sustainable development and PMBOK because they are practicing acceptable level of knowledge on sustainable development and PMBOK. Besides, results also shown that the initial stage of project life cycle got higher improvement in environmental, social and economic aspect. The integration is possible for project management processes and knowledge areas. The findings also revealed the related attribute between project management processes group and knowledge areas. 2014-08 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48881/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48881/25/TanYongJianMFKA2014.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:86628 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering
