ABSTRACT
Disaster-related demolition waste (DDW) is rising worldwide. DDW generation poses significant challenges to the construction industry due to its impact on the environment and the depletion of natural resources during reconstruction activities. As a result, several empirical studies and comprehensive reviews by the scholarly community have been produced. Circular economy (CE) applications are a crucial way to mitigate these consequences. Nevertheless, these past studies have paid little attention to CE integration into DDW management. This study used a scientometric review to analyze 32 articles from Scopus and Web of Science databases to understand research trends and future directions. The findings emphasize the need for a balanced strategy that balances financing goals with sustainable DDW reuse and recycling alternatives. Furthermore, there is a need for comprehensive studies on DDW management, indicating that existing literature is insufficient. Policymakers and stakeholders could utilize mathematical models to support decision-making in solving DDW problems.
