Implementation of Principles of Circular Construction, Case Study of Daugavpils in Latvia Jurevica SamantaGusta Sandra<p>The active implementation of circular construction principles is evident in legislation and discussions among industry specialists. However, the public lacks sufficient knowledge, leading to inadequate specific requirements for new buildings. Integrating circular construction principles into everyday life offers a pathway to a more environmentally sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle, fostering changes in habits, promoting care for humanity's future, and facilitating the creation of a cleaner environment while supporting the adaptation of buildings to sustainable construction principles. This research aims to identify the barriers to implementing circular construction principles in Daugavpils. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in this scientific study to provide a comprehensive view of the implementation of circular construction principles in Daugavpils. The survey engaged supervisors from the construction industry, as well as civil engineers and architects. The main obstacles to implementing circular construction principles in Daugavpils have been identified. Graphs illustrating the survey results have been created to showcase the primary challenges from the perspective of industry professionals and city residents. According to the survey, the primary issues with the short-term application of sustainable construction principles are related to a lack of information, knowledge, and financial support.</p> Global Journal of Ecology - Peertechz Publications 2025-06-12 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/gje.000110 en Copyright © Jurevica Samanta et al.
