    Construction waste management from a gender perspective
    (2008-09) Manowong, E; Perera, R
    Construction industry generates high volume of waste. The availability of dump sites for construction waste is decreasing and becoming a serious problem. Common waste management strategies such as Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3Rs) can be provided for construction waste management (CWM). However, in order to be extensively implemented in construction industry, such practices need to be recognized by construction operatives and the general public whose behavior may be influenced by their attitudes and perception. A survey was carried out to investigate current situation of CWM in various regions of Thailand. Attitudes, perceptions, and roles of men and women in the construction-related sectors were analyzed. Recommendations are planners and decision-makers to improve the relevant parties’ perception and attitudes towards CWM policy planning and implementation in the GMS countries.
