“…He found that 16.5% of residents do not agree with the garbage charge policy, which influenced the executive effects of the policy. This is consistent with the view that environmental attitudes can predict the performance of environmental behavior [18,19]. The public's attitude towards the domestic garbage regulation policy also determines whether they will participate in garbage collection and recycling.…”

Abstract:The attitudes and response of "policy receivers" should be taken into more consideration when governments make regulation policy. This paper discusses the public's degree of understanding, support willingness, implement willingness, and influence willingness to the policy, as well as the mutually responding scenario by using the quadratic response surface regression analysis from the perspective of "policy receivers". The statistics of 951 segments of valid sample data and the regression analysis suggest that: (1) 42.51% of individuals have poor understanding with regard to the command and control policy of household waste, which indicates a deficiency in the publicity effectiveness of the policy; (2) the public's understanding, support, implement, and influence of the policy present an inverted U shape change, indicating a low degree of understanding and influence willingness, and high support willingness and implement willingness; (3) overall, only support willingness can significantly affect the public's willingness to implement the policy, while both the degree of understanding and support willingness can positively predict influence willingness significantly; (4) the consistency between the degree of understanding and support willingness has an incremental effect on implement willingness and influence willingness; and (5) the implement level to the charge collection policy increases when the degree of understanding exceeds support willingness by a certain value.

“…They prioritized and quantified 85 indicators under four dimensions of sustainability of electricity system [24]. A few of the studies focused on the other sector for low-carbon development such as economic consumption [25], waste [26][27][28], and transportation [29]. Sectoral indicator systems fail to assess a city's low-carbon status in a different dimension.…”

“…As discussed in Section 2.2, research has been conducted in both sectoral level and holistic level of LCC development. For sectoral level, the single goal of a single sector of low-carbon city was measured [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The sectoral indicators successfully addressed very specific sector in LCC development, however, it failed to integrate the entire elements in a low-carbon city.…”

“…In the stepwise method, only those attitude variables that can statistically significantly increase the explained variance in the dependent variable under examination are included in the model; for details, see SPSS 19.0 user's guide [30]. Stepwise regression has also been frequently used in previous studies on the predictive power of environmental attitudes and behaviours [31][32][33][34][35]. Tables 4 and 5 exhibit the results of three regression analyses for average heating hours per day and maximum temperature, respectively, with no collinearity found for any variables in the regressions (all VIF < 2).…”

a b s t r a c tBuilding energy research has historically overlooked the role of attitudes, instead focusing on building and socio-demographic influences. Even when attitudes are measured, usually, the attitudes of just one household member are measured even though household energy consumption is the result of actions of all household members. This research explored first whether attitudes could help explain heating usage and second whether the attitudes of a couple could explain more of the variability in heating behaviour than the attitudes of one partner. The attitudes towards home heating energy use (i.e. attitudes towards thermal comfort, economical with energy, industry and technology's role and individual's role) of 128 English couples were used in this study. Together with building and socio-demographics, attitudes were examined to explain heating temperatures and durations, which were derived from temperature sensors placed in the homes in 2007-2008. The results showed that attitudes helped explain heating temperatures and durations, even when building and socio-demographic variables were controlled. Economical with energy was the most highly identified influence on heating behaviours, with thermal comfort a close second. In households that included a couple, combined attitudes of both partners explained heating usage behaviours more accurately than the attitudes of either male or female only.Crown
