“…A convincing message needs to be disseminated to the community so that they are willing and able to manage their food waste. According to Zhu, Fan, Luo, Lin, and Zhang (2020), it is possible that exposure to information representing informal and NGO regulations can improve food waste management in urban communities. This means the message conveyed must be seen closer to the community and seen to represent the interests of the community.…”

Food waste is one of many environmental issues in Indonesia that need to be solved. One of the solution to the problem is to manage the food waste and turn it to be something useful such as biogas and organic fertilizer. Yayasan Rumah Energi, an Indonesian NGO, is focusing themselves in this matter, they already found the way to manage the food waste, but then, they still need help to spread the awareness to the society. To help the organization, the team then using the digital world, to reach more people in the society. Another reason of using the digital channel is that in the time of pandemic, it is not possible to host an off-air event. The activity starting from analyzing the problem of the communication, setting the goals and objectives, preparing the strategy, coaching the communication personnel, and hosting digital event. Through the digital event, the team has raised awareness and get more people interested in the matter of food waste management

“…The present study provides a promising method for analyzing the behavioral strategy interaction between restaurants and OFD platforms to fill this gap. [21] and [34] are similar to our study; all these studies employ evolutionary game theory to analyze OFD-related problems, while the two studies focus on food quality and food waste recycling, respectively. In addition, evolutionary game theory is employed in modeling various problems, e.g., retailer competition [35], resource management [36], and bid evaluations [37], [38].…”

The boom in online food delivery(OFD) platforms brings convenience to both consumers and restaurants but leads to pollution from nonbiodegradable plastic food containers. To reduce pollution, the Chinese government enacted a ban on using multiple single-use plastics, including nondegradable OFD food containers. There may be various interests involved in enforcing the ban, so careful analysis is required before implementing the ban. This study applied evolutionary game theory to examine the interaction mechanism of the problematic behaviors between OFD platforms and restaurants. By theoretical research and simulation, we analyzed the conditions under which the game can converge to the expected outcome. In addition, we discussed the measures that are most important to promote restaurants using degradable food packaging in their service.INDEX TERMS Online food delivery, evolutionary game theory, behavior modeling, food packaging, ban on using single-use plastics.

“…To fill this gap, this article will conduct further research through evolutionary game theory. The evolutionary game has been extended and applied by scholars in environmental science and resource utilization [24][25][26], preventive medicine and hygiene [27][28][29], energy economy and sustainable development [30][31][32], and other fields; this is a proven method for analyzing the interaction of multi-agent behavior strategies. Evolutionary game theory is usually integrated with system dynamics to describe the evolution process of each subject's complex behavioral decision-making and the complex logical relationship between various influencing factors.…”

“…System dynamics is a comprehensive method based on system theory, feedback theory, and information theory, with the help of computer simulation technology, to understand and solve system problems. Due to the advantages of system dynamics in the analysis of complex system evolution, scholars often combine it with evolutionary game theory to model and simulate complex problems in the real world [24,30,33,34].…”

In the context of public health emergency management, it is worth studying ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of government, community, and residents. This paper adopts the method of combining evolutionary game and system dynamics to conduct a theoretical modeling and simulation analysis on the interactions of the behavioral strategies of the three participants. In response to opportunistic behavior and inadequate supervision in the static reward and punishment mechanism, we introduced a dynamic reward and punishment mechanism that considers changes in the social environment and the situation of epidemic prevention and control. This paper proves that the dynamic reward and punishment mechanism can effectively suppress the fluctuation problem in the evolutionary game process under static scenarios and achieve better supervision results through scenario analysis and simulation experiments.
