DESCRIPTION:This study examined sustainability assessment and sustainable 
 behaviour in the remediation of contaminated soil\, groundwater\, and sedi
 ment. Contaminated sites are a huge liability in both developing and devel
 oped countries. Sustainable remediation of contaminated sites is drawing h
 uge attention from governments\, the industry\, and academia in recent yea
 rs. Sustainability assessment aims to provide a basis for informed and bal
 anced decision making\, and it is a critical component of sustainable reme
 diation. The present study expanded existing sustainability assessment too
 ls\, which are mostly based on process life cycle assessment (LCA) of spec
 ific projects. The expansion occurs in two aspects: on a micro-level\, thi
 s study developed an economic input-output based hybrid LCA method for pro
 ject specific sustainability assessment\; and on a meso-level\, this study
  developed a generalized LCA framework for evaluating the sustainability o
 f a portfolio of projects. In addition to sustainability assessment\, this
  study aimed to explore sustainability on a society level\, namely sustain
 able behaviour\, which is considered a macro-level sustainability assessme
 nt.
