Abstract Purpose: This study aims to identify the barriers and drivers towards the adoption of water reuse systems in buildings in regions with water scarcity, such as the Brazilian Northeast.   Method: A qualitative study was carried out in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The study encompassed the analysis of content from seventeen in-depth interviews and documentary evidence.   Results and conclusion: The primary adoption drivers were found to be economic savings through consumption reduction and environmental awareness. Main barriers included the initial investment and payback time, as well as user practices, such as residents' lack of system maintenance. In addition, political and institutional aspects, such as the absence of fiscal incentives, also played a key role. In conclusion, water reuse in buildings constitutes an innovation that requires further development to promote significant adjustments of the socio-technical regime.   Originality/value: This research introduces innovation by conducting an analysis of the adoption of water reuse in buildings based on the multi-level perspective of socio-technical transitions towards sustainability. It focuses on a state in the Brazilian Northeast, whose territory is primarily situated in the Caatinga biome, characterized by a semi-arid climate and a history of severe drought cycles.   Research implications: The results provide valuable insights for researchers, technology developers, and policymakers to develop actions that stimulate the implementation and diffusion of water reuse in buildings.

Objetivo: O estudo buscou identificar as barreiras e vetores à adoçâo de sistemas de reúso de agua em edificaçôes em regiôes de cscassez hídrica como no nordeste brasileiro. Método: Realizou-se um estudo qualitativo tendo como campo empírico o estado do Ceará. Os dados foram coletados, por meio de dezessete entrevistas em profundidade e análise documental, que foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Resultados e conclusâo: Como principais vetores de adoçâo, verificou-se o potencial de economia por reduçao de consumo de agua potável e o aumento da consciencia ambiental. Como barreiras, destacaram-se o investimento inicial e o tempo de retorno do investimento, além de práticas inadequadas de usuarios como a falta de manutençao dos sistemas pelos moradores, além de aspectos políticos e institucionāls, como a falta de incentivos fiscais. Conclui-se que o reúso de agua em edificaçoes é uma inovaçâo que nécessita se desenvolver para causar ajustes significativos no regime sociotécnico. Originalidade/valor: A pesquisa inova ao realizar uma análise multinível da adoçao de sistemas de reúso de agua em edificaçoes, a partir de urna perspectiva sociotécnica, em um estado do Nordeste brasileiro cujo territorio localiza-se majoritariamente no bioma da caatinga, suj eito ao clima semiárido e que convive com graves ciclos de seca e estiagem. Implicaçôes da pesquisa: O trabalho trouxe subsidios para pesquisadores, desenvolvedores de tecnología e formuladores de políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento de açoes de estímulo à implementaçao e difúsao do reúso de agua em edificaçoes.
