“…It refers to the social influence of family, peers, or community. Several studies have confirmed the significant positive effect of subjective norms on pro-environmental behavioural intention including recycling intention (Ramayah et al, 2012), waste separation intention (Zhang et al, 2015;Xu et al, 2017a;Wang et al, 2021;Ng et al, 2021;Bui et al, 2020), and food waste separation (Karim Ghani et al, 2013). Thus, the proposed hypothesis is as follows:…”

“…Karim Ghani et al (2013) found a significant positive relationship between individual attitudes and source separation of food waste participation intention in Malaysia. There were studies that have a positive effect of attitude towards waste separation intention in China (Zhang et al, 2015;Xu et al,2017;Wang et al, 2021), in Vietnam (Bui, Nguyen, Phan & Nguyen, 2020) and in Malaysia (Ng et al, 2021;Teo et al, 2018).…”

“…This information provides useful insights for the government to draw out waste management strategies and policies that could bring about residents' behavioural change on waste separation. Past studies have examined residents' waste separation behaviour using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as it provides a theoretical framework to examine psychological factors that affect an individual's intention to perform a specific behaviour (Chan, 2013;Karim Ghani, 2013;Zhang, Huang, Yin & Gong, 2015;Teo, et al, 2018;Toan, 2021;Wang, Lu & Liu, 2021). The three psychological factors in TPB are attitudes toward the behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control (Ajzen, 1991).…”

This study investigates factors affecting Malaysian residents' municipal solid waste source separation behaviour. An extension of the theory of planned behaviour was applied by including the situational factor and perceived policy effectiveness in the model. A sample of 410 respondents was collected using convenient sampling methods. Data were analysed using the structural equation modelling-partial least-square (SEM-PLS) method on the hypotheses in the study. The findings revealed that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and perceived policy effectiveness significantly influenced residents’ municipal solid waste source separation intention. On the other hand, situational factors negatively impacted the municipal solid waste separation intention. Results further revealed that moral obligation and environmental knowledge positively influenced attitudes towards solid waste source separation. Thus, it is important for the government to increase Malaysian residents to perform solid waste source separation by providing adequate physical waste separation facilities with effective regulation enforcement.

“…The main reason for this phenomenon is that the cost of performing waste separation exceeds the rewards for residents. Residents are more sensitive to cost and losses than benefits [ 68 ], so they are reluctant to sort their waste when the perceived cost is higher than reward [ 69 , 70 ]. However, residents will gradually and slowly evolve into classification behavior under the impact of social norms [ 71 ].…”

To promote residents’ waste separation behavior, waste separation supervision has been a crucial need. This paper aims to explore the supervision mechanism of residents’ waste separation behavior using a tripartite evolutionary game model. The evolutionary stability conditions of resident, property service enterprise, and the government were analyzed. The influences of the main parameters on the strategy of three stakeholders were explored through numerical simulation. The results show that the regulatory mechanism of waste separation will reach the optimal stable strategy when the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the penalty for nonclassification is higher than the difference between classification cost and the total benefit of classification; (2) the subsidy to property services enterprise is greater than the total cost of positive participation management. Residents’ behaviors are mainly influenced by rewards and punishments. The behavioral strategies of property service companies are more sensitive to subsidies than penalties. In the early stage of mandatory waste separation, it is important to reduce the cost of residents’ separation, develop the publics’ environmental awareness, and increase the willingness of properties to participate in management. This paper presents a new perspective and theoretical guidelines for the local government and communities to supervise residents’ waste separation behaviors in China and other developing countries and offers useful insights into waste separation management for other countries.

Does Political Participation Influence the Waste Classification Behavior of Rural Residents? Empirical Evidence from Rural China

Waste classification is an important part of the renovation of rural human settlements, and the renovation of rural human settlements is also of great significance to global sustainable development. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to study the factors that affect the classification behavior for promoting waste classification behavior. However, few studies have focused on the political participation of rural residents as a driving factor. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether political participation affects rural residents’ waste classification behavior. In particular, this study uses the China Land Economic Survey (CLES), which surveyed 2628 rural households in Jiangsu Province, China, and uses the Probit model to explore the quantitative impact of political participation on farmers’ waste classification behavior. This study finds that: (1) Political participation may significantly improve farmers’ waste classification behavior. Specifically, farmers who participated in the general election were 10.6% more likely to conduct waste classification than those who did not vote in the general election. (2) Groups receiving government subsidies may be more likely to understand the government’s waste classification policy and then carry out waste classification. (3) Residents in areas with high economic development may be more sensitive to opportunity cost than residents in areas with low economic development, so residents in areas with high economic development degree are less willing to participate in waste classification action, and political participation has less influence on waste classification. Therefore, this research helps improve the efficiency of waste classification, ameliorate waste classification behavior, and provide the references for building a more civilized rural living environment.
