 Abstract:

This research investigates the pivotal relationship between construction and demolition waste management and its profound implications for environmental sustainability within the Lunahuana region. Employing a methodological framework rooted in basic research, the study adopts a quantitative approach with a non-experimental design and a correlational perspective. The research population encompasses 4,393 residents of Lunahuana, from which a representative sample of 353 residents was randomly selected using probabilistic sampling techniques. The research methodology incorporates survey-based data collection, deploying two meticulously designed questionnaires. The first questionnaire focuses on assessing variables associated with construction and demolition waste management, while the second explores facets of tourism environmental sustainability. Statistical analysis of the collected data reveals a statistically significant relationship (significance value of 0.00, <0.05 at a 95% confidence level) between construction and demolition waste management practices and the environmental sustainability of tourism in Lunahuana. In conclusion, the effective management of construction and demolition waste emerges as a pivotal factor in fostering tourism environmental sustainability in Lunahuana. Proper waste management plays a crucial role in safeguarding diverse environments, including roads, riverbanks, sidewalks, residential facades, and tourist centers. Such practices are vital in preserving the scenic beauty and preventing environmental degradation for both present and future generations.
