Data collection is done through a questionnaire survey with the Delphi technique that involves consultants and contractors in the field of green road construction. Data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis and Delphi analysis to reach consensus or agreement among respondents. Based on the results of the study it is known that the implementation of green construction in the Bandung city has been implemented with an average value of 3.70. Even so, there are still many green construction sub-criteria that are still lacking applied by contractors in Bandung city. Initial investment and expensive maintenance regarding green road construction technology/equipment for contractors as one of indicator from financial criteria is the main barriers in implementation of green road construction. Therefore, a strategy is also needed to overcome the obstacles of each of these aspects.

INTRODUCTION Along with the ever-increasing needs, many parties want to do development in various sectors and one of them is infrastructure development. Infrastructure development is carried out, namely houses, hotels, buildings, offices, centers of worship, highways, bridges, ports, airports, and several other infrastructures that affect every human activity. Of the various infrastructures, road infrastructure is one of the most important infrastructures. Based on data from the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) of the government planning the construction of 2,650 km of new roads, 1,000 km of toll roads and 46,770 km of road maintenance (Bappenas, 2014). With the growth of roads that continue to increase, it will certainly result in reduced availability of natural resources as a form of road structure, increased amount of waste produced by the construction process, increased emissions generated at the development and operational stages, reduced productive land due to land conversion, road construction, and various other impacts related to the environment both directly and indirectly. To reduce this impact, the concept of green road construction for road construction was introduced. Hasan (2011) at the opening of the International Seminar on The Green Road Construction and International Workshop on The Vetiver Systems stated that Green Road Construction is a sustainability movement that aspires to the creation of road construction since the planning, implementation and use of environmentally friendly, efficient construction product in energy and resource use, and low cost. Some countries in the world have established a green road rating system like the inclusion of Green LESES in New York and Green Roads in Washington in the United States, in the United Kingdom; there is the funding of the Sustainability National Roads Administrations Original Article International Journal of Civil, Structural, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Research and Development (IJCSEIERD) ISSN (P): 2249-6866; ISSN (E): 2249-7978 Vol. 9, Issue 3, Jun 2019, 37-50 © TJPRC Pvt.
