Identify and Prioritize the Critical Success Factors for Implementing Project Management in Metro Construction

The management of subway construction projects is very important due to the high cost and long duration and the economic, social and environmental impact. In order to properly and systematically monitor these projects, the critical factors of success in these projects must be identified, Prioritized and supervised them. For this purpose, in this research, the critical success factors in the projects are identified and categorized by reviewing the literature, then these factors are refined for metro construction projects with the fuzzy Delphi method. In the next step, the fuzzy DANP method is used to understand the interaction of the factors and obtain their weights. In the stage of identification of factors, 21 factors were identified and categorized in the four dimensions of finance, quality, sustainability, and organization, and 12 factors remained by performing two rounds of fuzzy Delphi. results show that The quality dimension affects the other three dimensions, which means the need to invest in quality to improve the performance of the project in all dimensions. Finally, the weights of the factors were obtained, which results shows the importance of the factors of ecological value and adaptation to weather conditions. These two factors are in the dimension of sustainability and it is important to pay attention to environmental issues in the success and sustainability of the project in the long term. The results of this research can be a guide for managers to effectively monitor subway construction projects to achieve success of various dimensions.
