Abstract Construction projects are often large in magnitude and high in construction amount. Therefore, construction activities have great impacts on business economics and social lives in the surrounding regional area. The residents can have public grievances if they are badly affected by the construction activities. Project owners should try to minimize adverse impacts in planning and design as well as in construction. The objective of this paper is to establish a public grievance breakdown structure and apply this breakdown structure to improving design functions in an effort to minimize public grievances. This research has been done in three steps of 1) analyzing the characteristics of public grievances in construction projects; 2) developing a public grievance breakdown structure; and 3) based on the public grievance breakdown structure, generating design alternatives that can improve the preparedness against public grievances. A case study has been done to demonstrate the applicability of the public grievance breakdown structure in generating design alternatives to minimize public grievances.
