What the paper says

The current study examines the impact of sustainability practices on sustainable performance in the context of hill road projects in the Indian Himalayan region, to identify factors that contribute to a sustainable practice of road construction, thereby enhancing Himalayan road sustainability. The study used exploratory research to identify the factors, followed by descriptive research, to study the proposed relationships. Findings suggest that sustainability practices positively influence the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainable performance. Though environmental performance positively influences the economic performance, social performance has a non-significant impact on the economic dimension. To enhance the sustainable performance of hill road projects, it is suggested that the identified sustainability be implemented by the practitioners religiously. As there are negligible studies on hill roads exploring the impact of sustainability practices on sustainable performance of hill road projects, the present study is a modest attempt to bridge this gap and help hill road practitioners and policymakers create sustainable societies.
