Abstract

Correct management of solid waste produced by different industries significantly reduces the impact on the environment and protects its. Regulatory and technological processes, and environmental policy, related to waste management have been poorly developed and implemented in construction projects. In Cuenca, although management processes are applied, there is no tool to assess the level of perception associated with solid waste management in construction companies in the city.


Objective: This research designed an instrument to measure the perception of solid waste management from construction in companies in the city of Cuenca.


Method: This study adopted a quantitative approach and relied on an observational design. A survey proposal was evaluated by a group of experts, and then applied to construction professionals. The data obtained were subjected to statistical validation using the JAMOVI and JASP software, thus achieving a validated scale.


Result: A final scale-type instrument was established, it was composed of ten items and distributed in three dimensions: the knowledge and identification of solid waste (CIRS), the construction waste management (GRC) and the effects of construction waste (ERC).


Conclusions: The scale allows to measure the waste management situation of a company with an acceptable level of reliability and validity. Processes of: optimization, decision making and continuous improvement will be derived from the information supplied by the instrument.
