Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify and rank the effects of Corona virus on the construction industry. To achieve this goal, library studies and analytical methods such as the fuzzy decision matrix and the use of expert questionnaires have been used. In this research, the most important effects of Corona virus have been examined according to criteria such as the probability of occurrence, the severity of the effect, and the probability of detection, and then they have been analyzed using the opinion of experts and analytical tools like Fuzzy Vikor Solver software. The results show that the most effective effects of Corona virus on the construction industry include things such as lack of housing, delays in projects and schedules, reduced economic development due to the suspension of construction activities, reduced demand for building structures, unemployment of daily income workers, financial losses to construction companies, and reduced employment. In the construction industry, increasing the financial risks of contractors, the possibility of non-compliance with organizational obligations, and creating psychological problems such as depression on unemployed workers and employees.
