In the qualitative part, focus groups and in-depth interviews were used, and in the quantitative part, descriptive survey research methods and questionnaire tools were used. The qualitative statistical population included experts, industry managers, and high-level construction industry entrepreneurs, 12 people were selected in the qualitative stage and 57 people were selected in the quantitative stage.
