Abstract

Waste management is an evolutionary system, but few studies have explored how and why public willingness to participate in waste separation changes, or explored possible paths to increase residents’ willingness to participate. This paper took Shanghai as a case study of a city that has experienced recent environmental policy change to embrace an evolutionary feedback perspective. The results showed that after the policy implementation, resident’s satisfaction with waste management increased by only 5.3%, and participation willingness actually decreased by 5.4%. A Geodetector model showed that both separation attitude and knowledge are highly important both before and after policy implementation. Residents’ satisfaction with community waste management showed the largest increase soon after the policy implementation while the importance of time occupied by waste separation dropped significantly. Policy simulation by a system dynamics model showed that the community-driven scenario was able to achieve 95% participation 2 years earlier than baseline scenario. Improving community satisfaction by improving waste management infrastructure can offset the adverse effects of an increased number of waste categories. The study helps to quantify the interaction between institutional change and public participation and find effective measures to maintain public participation in environmentally-friendly behaviors.

促进和维持公众参与废物分类政策-中国上海的比较研究
垃圾管理是一个进化的系统,但很少有研究探讨公众参与垃圾分类的意愿如何以及为什么会发生变化,也很少有研究探索提高居民参与意愿的可能途径。本文以上海为例,分析了近年来环境政策变化对城市发展的影响。结果表明,政策实施后,居民对垃圾管理的满意度仅提高了5.3%,参与意愿实际下降了5.4%。地理探测器模型表明,在政策实施前后,分离态度和分离知识都非常重要。在政策实施后不久,居民对社区垃圾管理的满意度上升幅度最大,而垃圾分类占用时间的重要性明显下降。通过系统动力学模型进行的政策模拟表明,社区驱动情景比基线情景提前2年实现95%的参与率。通过改善废物管理基础设施来提高社区满意度,可以抵消废物类别增加所带来的不利影响。该研究有助于量化制度变迁与公众参与之间的相互作用,并找到保持公众参与环境友好行为的有效措施。
