Background and problem: Integrating lean and green_x000D__x000D_
principles while implementing construction project has_x000D__x000D_
become an important aspect of modern construction._x000D__x000D_
Lean construction and green building are used to maximize the economic benefits, address quality, reduce waste_x000D__x000D_
and minimize the negative environmental impacts in construction._x000D__x000D_
Aims: The objectives of this paper were to measure the_x000D__x000D_
degree of knowledge of lean and green approaches in construction industry in Gaza Strip and to identify the most_x000D__x000D_
important benefits from application of lean and green in_x000D__x000D_
construction._x000D__x000D_
Methodology: Literature review and questionnaire_x000D__x000D_
survey were used in this study. A total of 155 copies of the_x000D__x000D_
questionnaire were distributed randomly to owners, consultants and contractors in the Gaza Strip, and 119 copies_x000D__x000D_
of the questionnaire were received._x000D__x000D_
Results: The results revealed that the awareness level_x000D__x000D_
of lean and green construction by owners, consultants_x000D__x000D_
and contractors in the construction industry in Gaza_x000D__x000D_
Strip is moderate. There are very important benefits of_x000D__x000D_
applying lean and green construction such as “reduce_x000D__x000D_
non-useful work that does not add value to work”,_x000D__x000D_
“reduce the environmental impact of the construction_x000D__x000D_
process” and “saving the money needed to complete the_x000D__x000D_
project”._x000D__x000D_
Conclusions: It was concluded that integrating both_x000D__x000D_
concepts on projects showed that lean leads to green_x000D__x000D_
but not necessarily vice versa. The fields of lean and_x000D__x000D_
green thinking, however, have been developed largely independent of each other. There is a big gap in the_x000D__x000D_
knowledge and application of the lean construction and_x000D__x000D_
the green application
