Abstract

Construction waste continues to increase. On the other hand, implementing construction waste management as part of sustainable development still poses a significant challenge in Indonesia. This research aims to identify inhibiting factors for construction waste management in Indonesia. It uses a quantitative survey approach, with primary data collected via a structured questionnaire distributed to contractors in Indonesia; 105 responses were deemed valid for analysis. Data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify the factor structure. The analysis identified 19 inhibiting factors grouped into four latent factors: institutional issues, technical challenges, policy weaknesses, and key project considerations. Among these factors, the extra cost and extra time are the two most critical hindrances to the effectiveness of construction waste management in Indonesia. The findings provide a deeper empirical understanding of the main obstacles to construction waste management in Indonesia.
