Abstract

This article evaluated the knowledge of Construction Waste Management (CWM) among contractors in Gqeberha and establish what legislative shortcomings were there in terms of CWM regulations. The reduction in landfilling could decrease the waste management cost for construction companies, and reduce negative impacts on the environment. This article used a qualitative design approach. The primary data was obtained through structured interviews from a selected number of main contractors in Gqeberha. The study focused on on-site agents, contracts managers, and Health Safety and Envronment officers through a nonprobability sampling technique. The study reveled that the lack of government legislation, to discourage the landfilling of waste, was the main catalyst. The primary data also stated that the lack of recycling facilities also contributed to the abundance of landfilling waste among contractors in Gqeberha. The research findings also showed that contractors in Gqeberha were knowledgeable on several construction waste management strategies. Future research will require contractors to research the potential economic benefits of CWM, as well as minimisation and recovery CWM strategies, and the local municipality to explore methods of discouraging landfilling waste, within the construction industry and in other sectors, as well as the economic and environmental benefits of CWM. The article provided insight concerning the CW and CWM practices among contractors in Gqeberha, including identifying the interventions required to address shortcomings.

建造业的建筑废物管理措施
本文评估了格尔比哈地区承包商对建筑垃圾管理的了解情况,并确定了在建筑垃圾管理法规方面存在的立法缺陷。减少堆填可以降低建筑公司的废物管理成本,并减少对环境的负面影响。本文采用了定性设计方法。主要数据是通过对盖伯哈选定的一些主要承包商的结构化访谈获得的。该研究通过非概率抽样技术重点关注现场代理、合同经理和健康安全和环境官员。研究显示,缺乏政府立法来阻止垃圾填埋是主要的催化剂。初步数据还表明,缺乏回收设施也是造成盖贝尔哈承包商填埋垃圾大量的原因。研究结果还表明,格贝尔哈的承包商对几种建筑垃圾管理策略都很了解。未来的研究将要求承包商研究CWM的潜在经济效益,以及减少和回收CWM的策略,并要求当地市政当局探索在建筑行业和其他行业中减少垃圾填埋的方法,以及CWM的经济和环境效益。本文提供了关于Gqeberha承包商的CW和CWM实践的见解,包括确定解决缺点所需的干预措施。
