Resource Utilization Behavior of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Based on Theory of Planned Behavior
The abundant generation of construction waste poses a major challenge to the sustainable development of China's resources. The resource utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is an effective measure to alleviate this challenge. This paper aims to investigate the determinants of RAP resource utilization behavior in mainland of China. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), three contextual constructs (i.e., governmental supervision, potential benefits, and project constraints) were introduced for modeling the RAP resource unitization behavior. Based on the initial model, eight constructs were identified and eight hypotheses were proposed. Data were collected through questionnaire survey, a structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The research findings show that perceived behavioral control, project constraint, and behavioral intention have a significant positive impact on RAP resource utilization behavior, and the path coefficients from large to small are perceived behavioral control (0.497)>behavioral intention (0.402)>project constraint (0.229). Nevertheless, the government supervision has a significant negative impact on behavior (-0.194) while potential benefits is insignificant determinants for adopting RAP utilization behavior. The research provided a theoretical basis for guiding the stakeholders’ better implementation of RAP resource utilization measures.
