Sustainable Assessment of Construction Site by Applying Game Theory

Selection of a proper construction site is of major importance, as practice is intrinsically collaborative, within knowledge-rich and multi-functional working environments. Success of a construction site selection is an abstract concept. It highly determines whether a project is a success or a failure. The information required for a given site varies considerably according to the size and importance of the designed building, its location, and whether the facilities to be provided are in an unmapped area or just mere extensions of existing facilities. Different methods for the solution of problems are known. Decision theory usually analyses decision-making processes from player's point of view, while game theory emphasizes its analysis in the interaction among many players. Much of the game theory is concerned with finite, discrete games, which have a finite number of players, movements, events, outcomes, etc. This research presents the theory of the two-person zero-sum games with a practical example. This research shows that the applications to construction site selections can be provided and the game theory can be applied for the supporting decision in a competitive environment.
