Abstract

As environmental issues become more pressing and the world works to reduce carbon emissions, the construction industry is shifting towards using more eco-friendly materials. In East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, lontar fiber (Borassus flabellifer) is a widely available, renewable resource that is good for the environment. It can be used to build walls in homes, but its use is still limited. People are not aware of it, there are no clear performance standards, and the public’s opinion of it is not well understood. Aims: This research aims to examine how people perceive and accept lontar fiber as a building material. Methodology and results: The study uses a grounded theory method, which means it closely examines people's views. Data were collected through online questionnaires from 120 carefully selected individuals. The findings show that many people are interested in using lontar fiber because it is eco-friendly, affordable, and easily accessible locally. However, concerns remain about its durability, strength, and reliability. Participants emphasized the importance of testing, education, and small-scale projects to build confidence in the material. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The study shows that lontar fiber could be an excellent, low-carbon building material made from local resources. The study also points out that to use it more widely, a mix of new technology, traditional knowledge, government support, and community involvement is needed to help build a more sustainable future in Indonesia.

Abstract

Environmental challenges stemming from the escalating volume of waste necessitate innovative solutions, one of which involves utilizing waste as a raw material for building materials. However, prevailing research in this domain has predominantly concentrated on their characteristics/performances, with a notable dearth in discussions pertaining to consumer-centric aspects. The objective of this research is to examine public responses, comprehension levels, and considerations associated with the utilization of waste-derived materials. Therefore, the development of waste-derived materials can be facilitated towards mass production. Employing qualitative research methods, this research unveils misconceptions surrounding waste-derived materials, as well as the readiness and the consideration aspects, such as material characteristic/performance, sustainability, economic factors, aesthetics, functionality, availability, and knowledge. The findings are anticipated to contribute insights for decision-making processes, policy formulation, and industrial practices, fostering the informed integration of waste-derived materials in the construction and related sectors.
