Focus and Scope

Journal of Sustainable Civil Engineering (JOSCE) is a scientific journal published biannually by Universitas Banten Jaya. This journal aims to publish recent research findings and critical studies in the field of civil engineering, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and innovation. JOSCE welcomes contributions from academics, researchers, and practitioners in the following areas:

Main Topics

  • Structural Engineering: Analysis and design of building structures, bridges, and other infrastructures with a focus on sustainable practices.
  • Geotechnical Engineering: Study of soil and rock properties and their application in planning and construction.
  • Transportation Engineering: Planning, design, and management of efficient and environmentally friendly transportation systems.
  • Water Resources Engineering: Management of water resources, hydrology, and infrastructure for clean water and sanitation.
  • Construction Management: Strategies and technologies for improving efficiency and sustainability in construction project management.
  • Sustainable Construction Materials: Development and application of eco-friendly construction materials.
  • Environmental Engineering: Studies on environmental impacts of civil engineering projects and mitigation solutions.

Interdisciplinary Approaches

JOSCE encourages research that integrates civil engineering with other disciplines, such as:

  • Information Technology: Utilization of BIM (Building Information Modeling), IoT, and other digital technologies in construction projects.
  • Economics and Management: Cost analysis, efficiency evaluation, and risk management in civil engineering projects.
  • Public Policy: Studies on regulations, policies, and urban planning related to infrastructure and sustainable development.
