Abstract: Abstract The generation of a large number of road engineering wastes poses a major challenge to the sustainable development of China's resources. The recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement is an effective measure to alleviate this challenge. In order to analyze the differences between the contractor and the designer in the resource utilization behavior of reclaimed asphalt pavement, this paper combines the theory of planned behavior to design the survey scale, and through empirical analysis to explore the impact mechanism of the recycling utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement by different parties. The results show that attitude towards behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have significant positive effects on behavioral intention. The importance level from the largest to the smallest is the perceived behavioral control > attitude towards behavior > subjective norms. Perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention are the main factors affecting the actual behavior, and the degree of influence of perceived behavioral control is greater than the behavioral intention. For the designer, the most important factor affecting the behavioral intention is the perceived behavioral control. The most influential factor on the actual behavior is the behavioral intention. For the contractor, the attitude towards behavior is the most important influencing factor affecting the behavioral intention, and the most influential factor to the actual behavior is the perceived behavioral control. The research conclusions can provide reference for designing relevant measures and policies for RAP resource utilization management.
