Abstract

This study focuses on the real estate business in Delhi, aiming at gathering insights on the current techniques, stakeholders, and the way GIS is utilized to manage C&D waste, because it is in these pertinent areas that the areas of high concentration can be established. The survey of 60 industry professionals used in this research targeted policy experts, project managers, and contractors, and all of their answers were taken as the main source of data. Statistical analyses (ANOVA, correlation, and Chi-square tests) have revealed substantial correlations, linkages, and associations between stakeholder roles, regulatory efficacy, and waste severity. Mapping through the geographic information system showed places where the concentration of garbage was high, which signaled the inefficiency in the infrastructure and space. Based on the results, it is clear that a lack of adequate enforcement, inadequate recycling facilities, and insufficient coordination between the stakeholders are undermining the overall sustainability of waste management activities in the country. The suggestions include the use of improved enforcement, more decentralized recycling infrastructure, GIS-based monitoring, enhanced training of the stakeholders, and the encouragement of sustainable behavior. The analysis of this case indicates that the building industry in Delhi could take advantage of a more effective, transparent, and sustainable system of waste management when the quantitative analytics and coverage mapping are merged to provide location-specific answers.
