dc.description.abstract |
Sustainable construction practices make a significant impact on the
construction industry itself, natural and social environment, and the
economy of a country. Therefore, this study aims to identify
important factors that influence the construction industry in adopting
sustainable construction practices and sustainable construction
practices adopted in Sri Lanka. This research is limited to
construction organizations and construction industry professionals to
collect data. Four construction organizations and seven professionals
were selected as a sample, and semi-structured interviews and semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted respectively. Content
analysis and a stakeholder analysis were done to meet the objectives
of the research. The content analysis was based on a framework
proposed in the previous study, and the findings show that the
construction organizations have passed the early stage of sustainable
construction. Still, there are more to improve and develop.
Awareness, training, and education/negative attitude, gaps in the legal
framework and enforcement, non-availability of materials and
suppliers, lack of research and development on sustainable
construction practices were identified as essential factors in
implementing sustainable construction practices. |
