Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of integrated components of sustainability in the construction industry in the construction projects of Imam Khomeini Port. For this purpose, a main hypothesis and three sub-hypotheses were developed. From the point of view of the purpose of this research, it is a development-oriented applied research, and from the point of view of methodology, it is descriptive-analytical (quantitative). The statistical population of this research includes specialists and construction experts of the Imam Khomeini Port Engineering System Organization, and the sample size was selected according to Kersey and Morgan's table by simple random sampling method of 120 people. The method of collecting information is library and field methods. Data analysis was done in two parts, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis and Friedman test by spss software. The findings indicate the confirmation of research hypotheses at a significance level of less than 0.05. Based on this, indicators of economic sustainability, social sustainability and environmental sustainability affect the success of construction projects.
