Abstract

The critical need for behavioural change for effective solid waste management is well known. However, policies and programmes continue to underemphasize this crucial component in their design, especially in developing countries such as India. Further, empirical research on the psychosocial factors in solid waste management in developing countries is limited, including within India, where a large national programme for solid waste management is currently being implemented. Using a household survey based on the theory of planned behavioural change, we examine the psychosocial factors towards household waste segregation. We find that more than knowledge and attitude, consequences to behaviour play a critical role in intention as well as actual behaviour towards household waste segregation. Based on our findings, we draw implications for redesigning the national programme and contribute to empirical evidence on the role of psychosocial factors in solid waste management in the context of developing countries.

心理社会因素在有效设计固体废物管理方案中的作用:来自印度的证据
众所周知,迫切需要改变行为,以便有效地管理固体废物。然而,政策和方案在设计中仍然没有充分重视这一关键组成部分,特别是在印度等发展中国家。此外,对发展中国家固体废物管理中的社会心理因素的实证研究有限,包括在印度,印度目前正在实施一项大型国家固体废物管理方案。利用一项基于计划行为改变理论的家庭调查,我们考察了家庭垃圾分类的心理社会因素。我们发现,除了知识和态度之外,行为后果在家庭垃圾分类的意图和实际行为中发挥着关键作用。根据我们的研究结果,我们得出了重新设计国家方案的启示,并为发展中国家固体废物管理中社会心理因素的作用提供了经验证据。
