ABSTRACT: Presently, global warming and environmental degradation issues pose a threat to local
communities and the international community. There are a few factors that cause global warming and
environmental degradation issues. The factor that is considered to be a harmful environment is the construction
industry. Environmental harm occurred during the construction process until the building was used. Reduction
of green space, excessive energy consumption, and unfriendly building materials contribute to global warming.
However, there hasn't been a thorough investigation of the obstacles to adopting green construction in
Indonesia and solutions to them. Several challenges must be solved to use green construction in Indonesia,
particularly in Malang City. A survey of authorities in the field of green construction is used to obtain data.
Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data to find agreement among the respondents. Additionally, the
Analytical Hierarchy Process method seeks to determine the hierarchy of these barriers to design solutions to
get around them and deploy green construction. Obstacles include a lack of specific regulation and a poor
understanding of how to conduct green construction. Therefore, a strategy is also needed to overcome the
barriers of each of these aspects by raising awareness about green construction practices and enacting detailed
green construction regulations.

I. INTRODUCTION
The world and community organizations are currently facing major problems related to global warming
and environmental deterioration [1]. Various causes bring both on. One of the things thought to have a bad
effect on the environment is the construction industry. Environmental harm happens throughout development
until the building is used [2]. Global warming results from declining green areas, excessive energy use, and
environmentally unfavourable building practices [3]. As a result, builders began to use the idea of green
construction management [4].
To reduce the development process' detrimental environmental impact, "green construction" is
described as the design and implementation of the development process based on contract papers [5]. It balances
the current ecological capacity with the needs of human life and future generations [6]. However, other
communities must follow this concept and their sensitivity to efforts to protect and preserve the environment.
This green construction is an excellent breakthrough in reducing the impact of global warming. Still, the
movement also requires practical application by stakeholders and government support to implement another
concept. The on-site construction phase is key in realizing a green construction perspective. In addition, the
coalition of contractors in awareness and action on green construction sites through applying green principles at
construction sites will play an important role [7]. This study aimed to investigate green construction awareness
and clarify the gap between awareness and activity in adopting green specifications from the perspective of on-
site personnel.
The construction process can be considered harmful to the environment if it is not properly controlled
during implementation. According to Ervianto [8], the number of developments made in Indonesia's
