Abstract
There is no risk management approach to minimize such differences at construction sites, although the number of environmental disputes is increasing. The purpose of this study is to develop an environmental risk index model for general contractors to minimize third-party environmental disparities in construction sites. The analytical hierarchy process is used to calculate and evaluate the environmental risk index.
