Abstract

The construction industry produces enormous volumes of construction waste that have a negative influence on the environment. This study examines the underlying causes of waste generation in the Indonesian construction industry based on professional perspectives. This study used a questionnaire as a research instrument and examined the data with reliability and exploratory factor analysis. Based on the analysis, there are eight underlying causes that contribute to the generation of construction waste in the Indonesian construction sector. The five most significant underlying causes of waste generation that obstruct sustainable practices include waste-inducing site and human resource management approaches, inadequate collaboration and support among stakeholders, equipment management, material logistics management, and poor working environments. As a result, it is crucial for Indonesian experts to pay attention to the factors that contribute to waste generation in order to lessen its negative effects on the environment and promote sustainable practices.
