dc.description.abstract | Construction debris management is a critical aspect of sustainable development, and effective
management practices are necessary to reduce the negative environmental impacts of
construction activities. This study aimed to investigate the current state of construction debris
management in Kampala, Uganda. The data was collected through a survey questionnaire
administered to construction professionals, and descriptive statistics and Cronbach's alpha
reliability analysis were used to analyze the data.
The results showed that although most construction companies in Kampala were moderately
following proper procedures for managing and disposing of construction debris, there were still
inefficiencies in the management practices, particularly in the areas of reuse and recycling of
construction debris.
The study also found that confidence in the ability of current practices to sustainably handle
future construction projects was moderate. Based on these findings, recommendations were
made for researchers, professionals, and government authorities to improve construction debris
management practices in Kampala.
Overall, this study highlights the need for more attention and resources to be devoted to
construction debris management in Kampala, as it has significant implications for sustainable
development in the city. | en_US |
