【 摘 要 】

In this study, it is aimed to identify potential barriers to sustainable construction in the Turkish Construction Industry. To this end, a survey was conducted covering architects, civil engineers and other (project manager, mechanical engineers, ets.) professionals working in the Turkish Construction Industry. Based on the data obtained from the survey, the scale of “Potential Barriers to Sustainable Construction” has been developed. Explanatory factor analysis was performed first to determine the factor structure of the research scale. As a result of the explanatory factor analysis, information deficiency barrier, education disability barrier, high investment cost barrier, awareness barrier, academic inadequacy barrier, insufficient legal framework barrier, inadequate incentive barrier was identified as potential barriers to sustainable construction. The findings show that participants see the education and awareness barrier on sustainability as a higher level than investment costs compared to other factors. The results of this study; it is thought that it will make important contributions to the literature by revealing the factors that prevent sustainable practices in the Turkish Construction Industry and by enriching the developed scale with different and various factors in future studies.
