Abstract

The development of all construction activities depends on water consumption, and according to the existing limitations and challenges, providing sustainable water resources with proper management and according to the principles of sustainable development can greatly help the progress of construction projects. Therefore, reuse of waste water, especially gray water, is a suitable option for proper quality. Therefore, in this research, the role and effects of using gray wastewater on the civil development of City garden project of Yazd have been investigated. This research has been applied from the point of view of objective and with an experimental and survey approach. The collection of research information has been done with documentary and field methods and with questionnaire tools. The community of this research is the project agents and also the experts and the sample size was considered to be 100 people. Multi-criteria decision-making method and fuzzy linear BWM model were used for data analysis. The results showed that in the road and transportation sector, the sub-criterion of building boulevards and shelters with a final weight of 0.179, in the construction and space-building sector, the sub-criterion of building residential buildings with a final weight of 0.1965, and in the environment and tourism sector, the sub-criterion of building tourist attractions with a final rating of 0.2431 is the highest. The effects of gray sewage have been taken in the direction of construction and civil development in City garden Karizland, Yazd. Therefore, taking into account that half of the urban wastewater produced in the houses turns into gray water, gray water recycling with proper management and according to sustainable development can greatly contribute to the development of City garden.
