{"title":"A Behavioral Framework for Construction Waste Minimization: The Case of Jordan","authors":"Mahmoud Alhawamdeh, Angela Lee","doi":"10.18848/2325-1077/cgp/v17i02/9-32","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18848/2325-1077/cgp/v17i02/9-32","url":null,"abstract":"Construction waste (CW) accounts for approximately 36 percent of the total solid waste received at landfill \u0000sites around the world and, therefore, presents a significant challenge to the sustainability of the construction industry, \u0000the country’s economy at large, and environmental sustainability worldwide. For Jordan, this issue is pertinent since \u0000the construction industry is still suffering from insufficient sustainability practices characterized by poor production, \u0000sub-standard performance, and a wasteful culture. Increasing attention has been placed on addressing the role of \u0000human factors in construction waste minimization (CWM), as the majority of the causes underlying CW are directly or \u0000indirectly affected by the behavior of those working in the construction industry. However, understanding CWM \u0000behavior is most challenging and complex, as adopting positive CWM behavior depends on many factors that \u0000contribute to its success or failure. This paper describes the development of a behavioral framework (BF) that aims to \u0000address this research gap. The Delphi technique, incorporating a series of semi-structured interviews, was chosen as \u0000the primary research investigative method, for the discovery and building of the BF. Twelve respondents (the experts’ \u0000panel), with extensive knowledge of and experience in the Jordanian construction industry, participated in two rounds \u0000of the Delphi study. They were able to offer a well-informed look at the current and potential status of the adoption of \u0000CWM behavior among Jordanian contractors. The resulting BF advances a more holistic understanding of the factors \u0000influencing the behavior of contractors toward CWM, which will support the adoption of waste minimization in \u0000Jordanian construction projects.","PeriodicalId":145231,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Environmental Sustainability","volume":"209 S648","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113972618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
