“…The perceived cleanness level of the surrounding environment in location A without the prototype (M=7.45; SD=0.65) together with the prototype (M=7.95; SD=1.01) are higher than the number in location B without the prototype (M=5.18; SD=1.18) and with the prototype (M=5.90; SD=0.80). This result is in line with previous works in the literature concerning human behavior in public space (Schultz et al, 2013;Cialdini et al, 1990). We performed interview sessions with 16 participants equally distributed in the two locations and conditions (with-without AIM) with an average age of 21.75 (SD=2.27).…”

“…Then, an approach to behavior change is enabling the right behavior by making it more convenient than the wrong one. In the case of littering, convenience ICED19 can be depending on the availability and distance of the litter receptacle from the user, which is a determining factor (Schultz et al, 2013;Bator et al, 2011;Finnie, 1973). A possible solution is then the one of making the trash bin easier to find, for instance through green footprints leading to trash bins.…”

“…The littering behavior of a smoker is often influenced negatively by the other smokers' behavior, as signs of past littering causes further littering (Schultz et al, 2013;Cialdini et al, 1990). As claimed in the last point, social aspects play a fundamental role in littering behavior, especially in the case of cigarette littering.…”

Littering is a highly diffused anti-environmental and anti-social behavior, especially among young people. Furthermore, cigarette butts are one of the most littered items and are responsible for both severe environmental damages and high clean up expenses. The aim of this project is to design an interactive ashtray for the campus environment to limit the cigarette butts littering behavior in an engaging and effective way. Qualitative and quantitative data are collected. Coded observations were implemented through the research process, including the 2 pre (without the prototype) and 2 pros (with the prototype) sessions. Also, user experience test and one to one interview were conducted for deepening the understanding of the littering phenomenon and the reasons behind in the behavior among young people. The prototype indeed reduced the number of cigarette butts littering among observed behaviors of 156 students, especially in male sample. Final results indicate the behavior change of disposers is moderated by other factors, as the environmental cleanliness. Future development is also discussed.

“…The researchers concluded that the main reason for littering is insufficient waste receptacles, followed by the dirtiness of the street, and then laziness. The bulk of studies on litter in literature have focused on giving behavior predictors based on profiling criteria (e.g., gender, age, or education) or physical description of the place (e.g., littered place vs. clean place) or the waste material itself (e.g., fliers or cans) [1,[8][9][10]; factors affecting littering such as persuasive trash cans, environmental awareness, or penalties [11][12][13][14]; interaction between littering people and society [2,[15][16][17].…”
