Abstract
The issue of construction and demolition (C&D) waste is getting more and more serious with the rapid development of urbanization in China. Recycled C&D waste products are applied widely by stakeholders as one of effective ways to solve the problem. At present, the promotion of recycled products is facing heavy barriers, while the future market for recycled products largely depends upon stakeholders’ perceived value. But few studies focus on constructing scales to measure stakeholders’ perceived value of recycled products. To fill this gap, this paper develops a three-dimensional perceived value scale including social value, economic value and environmental value. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from Shenzhen, China. In total, 129 valid questionnaires were divided into two samples with which an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis were conducted respectively to verify the scale validity and reliability. Results showed that the developed scale has sound reliability and validity. The developed scale provides a new instrument for future construction and demolition waste management research.
