Study On The Influential Factors Of Urban Residents’ Household Waste Classification Behavior

With the development of China’s economy and the improvement of urbanization level,the consumption of urban residents’ resources,the production and complexity of household waste are increasing.How to solve the pollution problem brought about by urban household waste has become an important issue in the field of resources and environment.Although household waste sorting has been widely accepted by management and academia,policy implementation has been difficult.To study the management of household waste classification,we must recognize the main body of urban residents as the source,clearly define the influencing factors and the degree of influence.In view of this,this paper is based in Shijiazhuang City survey data,from the individual psychological factors,situational factors,motivational intention of urban residents to study the behavior of household waste classification,aimed at clarifying the occurrence of garbage classification behavior mechanism and behavior law,for policy formulation to put forward rationalization recommendations.This study starts with the question,based on a certain theoretical research to carry out empirical research and analysis,and then put forward reference suggestions for the problem.Based on combining a large number of domestic and foreign literatures,combined with national conditions,the theoretical model of planned behavior is expanded and improved: the variables of "social trust","accessibility of supporting facilities" and "sense of environmental moral obligation" are increased,theoretical models are established to study and analyze the factors affecting the classification behavior of urban residents’ household waste,and measurement scales are developed according to theoretical models and research hypotheses are put forward.Taking Shijiazhuang City as the research scope,the pilot city conducts a questionnaire survey,collects and organizes the relevant data,carries out data analysis through professional statistical software,and systematically explores the relationship between classification behavior and its related factors.The results of this study show that: the sense of environmental moral obligation,perceptual behavior control and subjective norms in individual psychological factors can predict the residents’ intention of garbage classification significantly and directly.Among them,perceptual behavior control,subjective norms and residents’ classification intention can predict the garbage classification behavior of urban residents significantly.There are some intermediary effects in the relationship between subjective norms,perceptual behavior control and garbage classification behavior.One of the situational factors-Social Trust has a significant regulating effect on the influence of classification intention on classification behavior.Although the adjustment effect of access to supporting facilities is not significant,it has a significant correlation with classification behavior and classification intention,and has a significant direct prediction effect on classification behavior.This study reveals the relevant factors and relationships that affect the classification behavior of urban residents’ household waste,enriches the original planned behavior theory,and conducts the classification behavior of residents’ household waste from the whole.
