ABSTRACT

Circular economy (CE) is gaining traction in the construction industry, providing a responsible business model to decouple construction activities from excessive consumption of finite resources. This study conducted a systematic literature review to consolidate and conceptualize the factors that induce and enable construction organizations and stakeholders to adopt CE solutions in the construction industry. The analysis revealed 88 drivers of CE adoption in the construction industry, clustered into eight dimensions, comprising knowledge, organizational, environmental, social, business, regulatory, technological and supply chain drivers. The study further modelled the path dependencies and hierarchical structure of drivers of CE adoption in the construction industry. Thus, the findings provide a holistic insight into the factors inducing stakeholders to adopt CE in the construction industry. The model can provide decision support to develop integrated policies and targeted interventions to facilitate a successful transition to CE in the construction industry.

摘要

循环经济 (CE) 在建筑行业越来越受欢迎，它提供了一种负责任的商业模式，使建筑活动与有限资源的过度消耗脱钩。本研究进行了系统的文献综述，以巩固和概念化促使建筑组织和利益相关者在建筑行业采用 CE 解决方案的因素。该分析揭示了建筑行业采用CE的88个驱动因素，分为八个维度，包括知识、组织、环境、社会、商业、监管、技术和供应链驱动因素。该研究进一步模拟了建筑行业采用 CE 驱动因素的路径依赖性和层次结构。因此，研究结果提供了对促使利益相关者在建筑行业采用CE的因素的全面见解。该模型可以提供决策支持，以制定综合政策和有针对性的干预措施，以促进建筑行业向CE的成功过渡。
