Evaluation of the International Conference Center Mega-Project in Isfahan Metropolis

One of the megaprojects under construction in the Isfahan metropolis is the project of the International Conference Center of the Isfahan Metropolis, which, despite the multidimensional and profound effects, has not yet been fully explored. Hence, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the megaproject of the international conference center of the Isfahan metropolis in terms of various physical, social, economic, managerial and environmental dimensions. Accordingly, the mixed research (combination of Qualitative and Quantitative methods) paradigms have been used. The data have been also collected by means of both document and survey methods (interview type). For evaluation and analysis, Likert scale, AHP method and Expert Choice software have been used. The results show that, despite the positive features of the Megaproject in the social, physical, and environmental sectors, this megaproject in the economic and management sector has major weaknesses, most notably is non-matching of costs with efficiency and non-achievement of objectives over the specified time. So there are some suggestions to address this defect.
