Machine Learning Household Waste Disposal Behavior Related Factors

Abstract

Waste problems are now more serious and need to be managed properly urgently. The popular waste management method is 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The effective waste management needs to get every one's participation. This is a human behavior acting in response to the waste disposal. Psychology is used to explain the cause of human behavior. Nowadays machine can learn to extract knowledge from the data. This research we use machine learning to extract factors relating to waste disposal behavior in order to support effective waste management for decreasing waste problems in the society. We applied classification approach by using See5 and got the results. Then we tested the correctness of the results by observation and discourse in three communities. We found that the results are true in all five communities testing.
