“…The results confirmed that the perceived benefit played a positive role, and the perceived cost played a negative role in the WSB. This is consistent with the studies by Li et al [ 31 ] and Lee et al [ 36 ]. Furthermore, perceived benefits and perceived cost have different effects on WSB in high- and low-income groups.…”

“…The time cost was negatively correlated with waste classification behaviors at the 1% level, which indicated that time cost was a barrier for farmers to participate in waste classification. The probability of farmers with higher perceived time cost to participate in waste classification was 0.78 times that of the lower group, and H2a was verified [ 17 , 36 ]. Learning cost had no significant effect on waste classification behaviors.…”

“…Perceived cost includes material cost and non-material cost in terms of time cost, learning cost, and physical cost [ 16 ]. The time cost was measured by whether the waste classification process occupied the farmers’ time [ 36 ]. Waste classification was a relatively complex disposal process.…”

“…Perceived cost refers to individuals’ expenditure or losses in the process of waste classification [ 1 , 13 ], which includes the time, energy, study, and other non-material costs of waste classification, as well as the material costs in terms of the expenditure of money or material objects when they participate in waste disposal [ 28 , 36 ]. It was found that individuals’ perceived cost of waste classification affects their recognition of waste sorting, thus affecting their WSB [ 7 , 36 , 37 ]. Compared with the general waste treatment, waste classification is relatively complex, which will cause energy drain and reduce people’s enthusiasm for waste classification.…”

Waste sorting is the cardinal measurement to solve the problem of low efficiency of rural environmental governance and to alleviate environmental pollution by reduction, recycling, and harmlessness in rural areas. However, non-excludable and non-rival features of public goods easily cause a wide free-rider problem, which results in a low frequency of participation in the waste sorting of rural people. Based on the theory of the utility maximization of the rational economic man, this paper investigates survey data of 688 farm households in three cities and three counties of Shaanxi Province to explore the effect of the perceived value on the household waste classification behavior based on cost-benefit analysis. The results show that perceived benefit and perceived cost are important perceived value factors affecting farmers’ participation in waste sorting. Specifically, the spiritual benefit of the perceived benefit has a significantly positive impact on classification behavior, while the time cost, physical cost, and material cost of the perceived cost have a negative impact on waste classification behavior. Further study of the heterogeneity of income impact shows that time cost only has a significant impact on the high-income group of farmers’ classification behavior, while spiritual benefit and learning cost only affect the low-income group of farmers’ waste classification behavior. Material cost has different influence directions on high- and low-income groups. In view of the aforementioned findings, this study highlights corresponding policy implications from the perspective of perceived benefit and perceived cost.

“…To overcome this problem, a researcher may consider using a latent class logit model [50,51] or mixed logit model [52,53]. In this study, we used the mixed logit model, since it can analyze the preference heterogeneity of respondents using various types of distributions [45].…”

Abstract:This study analyzes different attitudes toward introduction of smart policing technologies in cybercrime policing among the Korean public and police. Policing is essential for a sustainable community. Technological advances in policing have both positive and negative aspects, making it essential to investigate perceptions of both public and police when introducing smart policing technologies. A discrete choice experiment was undertaken to survey preferences of the public and police toward introduction of such technologies and conduct simulation analysis to compare changes in the acceptance of various scenarios. The study divides cybercrime policing into prevention and investigation. The sample included 500 members of the public and 161 police officers. The results show that the public thinks an increase in yearly taxes and invasion of privacy are the most important factors. Conversely, the police think factors enhancing the efficiency of policing are most important. Moreover, when smart policing technologies are introduced, the public and police perceive more utility in the prevention and investigation of cybercrime, respectively. Few studies in this field separate the prevention and investigation of crimes, or compare perceptions of the public and police toward the introduction of smart policing technologies. This study's quantitative analysis provides insights lacking in previous literature.
