Abstract

Contractor’s attitude and behavior towards construction and demolition (C&D) waste management can make significant influence to C&D waste generation. However, little research has been conducted to investigate the relationships between attitude and behavior. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is a theory that links attitude and behavior, and it has been employed in many fields. The aim of this study is to investigate the contractor’s attitude and behavior toward C&D waste management (CDWM) based on TPB. A conceptual framework is developed incorporating eight affecting factors, namely attitude toward behavior, social subjective, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, governmental supervision, beneficial consideration, project constraint, and behavior. Based on this framework, the interrelationships between attitude and behavior can be further investigated using structural equation model.
