A Study on Determination Factors of Environment-conscious Behavior in Waste Problems

垃圾问题一直是国家关注的重大环境问题。然而，公众对环境问题的认识并不一定会导致实际的环境意识行为。这项调查的主要目的是检查环境意识行为与其可能因素之间的关系。本次考试采用定量模型化的因素结构。 参加者为大阪府美浓市的单身居民，年龄为 19 岁至 29 岁的 50 名学生（其中男性 28 名，女性 22 名）。他们针对商品购买和废物产生完成了有关减少废物意识的调查问卷。除本次调查外，还对垃圾产生状况进行了调查，得出连续7天垃圾产生总量及其回收执行率，作为环保行为后果的指标。采用图解模型，根据问卷编制结果以及废弃物产生量和回收执行率的测算结果，对环境意识行为的因素结构进行数学分析。结果显示，废物问题意识与环境意识行为之间存在显着相关性，责任感越强的人倾向于更认真地看待问题。此外，人们对有效补救措施的认识更高，这导致了对减少废物的合作态度。检查发现，减废意识强烈，垃圾产生量减少，回收实施率提高。它表明合作态度和实际行为之间存在有效的关系。然而，研究结果还表明，与商品购买和废物产生相关的额外努力和成本抑制了环保意识行为。进一步的问题是，有必要针对公众的案例不断研究意识与行为的关系。较少的

Waste problem has been a major environmental issue of national concern. Public awareness of environmental issues, however, does not necessarily lead to practical environment-conscious behaviors. The major objective of this investigation is to examine a relationship between the environment-conscious behavior and its possible factors. The quantitatively modeled factor structure applied to this examination.Participants were fifty students ages 19 to 29 (of which twenty-eight were men and twenty-two were women) that were single residents of Mino City, Osaka. They completed the questionnaires regarding awareness of waste reduction in response to merchandise purchase and waste generation. In addition to this survey, the status of waste generation was surveyed.The gross amount of waste generated for seven consecutive days and its recycling implementation rate were derived, and then used as indicators of the consequences of environment-conscious behaviors. With the adoption of graphical modeli … More ng, the factor structure of environment-conscious behaviors was analyzed mathematically based on the results of the compilation of the questionnaires as well as the measurement of waste generation amount and recycling implementation rate. The results revealed a significant correlation between awareness of waste problems and environment-conscious behaviors that a person with a stronger sense of responsibility was inclined to perceive the issue more seriously. Also, higher awareness of effective remedial measures was observed in the person, which led to a cooperative attitude toward waste reduction. The examination presented that intense consciousness of waste reduction contributed to a decrease in waste generation and an increase in recycling implementation rate. It suggests an effective relation between the cooperative attitude and practical behaviors. The findings also showed, however, that extra effort and cost associated with merchandise purchase and waste generation suppressed environment-conscious behaviors. As a further issue, it is necessary to continuously research on a relationship between consciousness and behaviors for the case of the public. Less
