Research On The Behavior Of Source Separation Of Domestic Waste In Chinese Tourist Cities

In recent years,with the continuous progress of urbanization,"Garbage siege"phenomenon is becoming increasingly serious.For tourist cities,this trend will not only cause damage and pollution to the ecological environment of the city,will also affect the cleanness of the city.It will leave a worse impression on the tourists.Domestic garbage source separation,as a effective solution for garbage reduction,garbage harmless disposal and waste recycling,has received increasing attention in the world.Many cities in China were also anxious to put source separation on domestic garbage into effect,but the results were not satisfying.The researches on environmental protection of tourist cities,on source separation of urban domestic garbage,and on the behavior of domestic garbage source separation have already acquired some achievements.However,the research on the behavior of domestic garbage source separation in tourist cities is still blank.This paper will build a model,based on "Theory of Planned Behavior"(TPB)and "A-B-C" theory.A questionnaire survey will be conducted in Xiamen,which is a typical tourist city of China.The empirical study will be used to reveal the status of residents and tourists’ behavioral intention and behavior of domestic garbage source separation in Xiamen,and to discuss the internal and external factors which influence their behavioral intention and behavior.And then suggestions will be put forward to improve residents and tourists’ behavior of domestic garbage source separation in Chinese tourist cities based on the study results.This is a new exploration which applies psychological theories to the tourist city study.Meanwhile,since the empirical study is made in a typical Chinese tourist city,the study results will directly help to conduct public behavior in Chinese tourist cities,which will be propitious to sustainable development of Chinese tourist cities and will result in formulation and implementation of relevant policies and regulation.Moreover,the conclusions of this study will be instructive for other Chinese tourist cities to promote their work on the public behavior guidance of the domestic garbage source separation.
