摘要

Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste results from the process of construction, demolition, repair, and re-modelling operations and has adverse impact on the health, aesthetics, environment, social wellbeing, and economy of the community. Addressing this complex issue requires a holistic, and systematic understanding of its multiple dimensions. This study develops a comprehensive ontological framework of C&D waste management to clearly represent interrelated components of the system and guide future research and policy. A systematic mapping review was conducted using a corpus of 189 journal articles published over 30 years (1989–2019), identified using Scopus search using the term (“construction and demolition waste” AND management). The results reveal that research in this domain is fragmented and siloed, with dominant themes focused on waste generation, disposal, and the environmental and economic impacts. Regulatory frameworks supporting reuse and recycling are relatively well covered, but important dimensions, such as health impacts, stakeholder roles, waste types, and sources receive limited attention. These gaps indicate an urgent need for more integrated, policy-relevant research to address overlooked yet critical elements of the waste management system. The proposed ontology provides a basis for developing a roadmap for future research, helping to identify effective pathways for reinforcement, ineffective ones for redirection, and innovative ones for exploration. The study recommends fostering cross-sectoral collaboration, embedding circular economy and life-cycle principles into regulations, and developing adaptive, data-driven policy tools. These insights aim to support the transition toward zero-waste, whole-process, and sustainable C&D waste management systems through informed, systemic approaches.
