“…73.38 (0.72 US$) per month. The mean WTP amount from this study is less than a similar study conducted in another municipality of Nepal [18], which was 1.69 US$ per month, but is greater than the study conducted in Bangladesh [22], which was 0.18 US$ per month. Studies conducted in Uganda [16] and Ethiopia [19] found WTP amount to be 1.3 US$ and 1.2 US$, respectively.…”

“…The open-ended method does not have a range nor a starting point biases, and thus can be highly statistically efficient compared to other discrete formats. Other elicitation techniques are most suited when there is already a price system or fee charged specially to study WTP for improved SWM services [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Sumukwo, Kiptui, and Cheserek [23] opted for an open-ended technique, as there was no adequate data on pricing for solid waste collection and disposal services.…”

Municipal solid waste management is a growing problem in urban areas of Nepal where municipalities are severely constrained by budget to manage it effectively. Collecting fees from the public can aid finance for improving waste management service. This study evaluates willingness to pay (WTP) by 401 households, selected using a stratified sampling method from all 15 wards of Gorkha municipality of Nepal for improved waste collection service and the factors influencing it. We employed a contingent valuation method to elicit households' WTP, logit regression model to determine factors influencing WTP and tobit regression model to determine factors influencing the maximum amount households are willing to pay for improved waste collection service. Majority of households (61%) are willing to pay an average amount of NRs. 73.38 (0.72 US$) per month. Factors that significantly influence households' WTP are monthly household income, education of household head, environmental awareness and waste collection service. Except for education of household head, all these factors significantly influence the maximum amount of money households are willing to pay. Concerned stakeholders and policy makers should consider these traits of households before enforcing a waste collection fee.

“…Respondents were asked psychologically based questions relating to KW separation that included attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norms, moral norms, and responsibility denial. These questions (please see Appendix A) were derived from the recycling behavior literature [39,[55][56][57][58]. Specifically, for each questionnaire item of these psychological aspects, individuals were asked to indicate the extent of their agreement with the proposed statements, using a five-point Likert scale in which responses could range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

“…Attitude stands for attitudes towards KW separation; Perceived Behavior Control stands for perception of the respondents' ability to perform the behavior; Subjective Norms stands for perception of the respondents' social pressure to separate KW; Moral Norms stands for conscious of pre-environment; Responsibility Denial stands for excuse for KW source separation [39,[55][56][57][58].…”

High participation rates by the public in authority projects are key in increasing resident recycling levels. Understanding waste separation behavior is crucial to achieving sustainable waste management within such household-based schemes. To identify the driving forces behind the seldom-discussed kitchen garbage separation behavior, five psychological factors, namely, attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norms, moral norms, and responsibility denial, are established. Our data originate from a social study of Beijing citizens conducted in July 2013 (n = 362). Through structural equation modeling, we find that moral norms are consistently the most important predictor of household kitchen waste (KW) separation behavior. Subjective norms have a larger effect on such behavior than responsibility denial. Data analysis shows that perceived behavior control contributes significantly and independently to the explanation of such behavior. By contrast, attitude towards KW separation is found to be significantly negatively correlated with separation behavior. In conclusion, the model with direct and indirect effects of psychological factors explains 50.3% of the variance in household KW source separation behavior. Implications of the results for the promotion of household KW separation programs are discussed.

“…Based on interview feedbacks from stakeholders, however, indicated that three attributes from the twenty-one attributes were considered irrelevant. These attributes include changes in collection trucks mix obtained from [15] and [16], and psychological fear and water pollution adopted from [17]. Ensuing conventional technique [18], these three attributes were considered immaterial, and lastly were scrubbed having seventeen attributes.…”

-The issue of solid waste management (SWM) has persisted in most developing countries, like Nigeria. Despite several attempts at local levels to address this, its existence and effects keep on rising in Kano metropolis. This study explores one of the bases in setting priorities for services improvement to choose from among lists of service attributes in choice experiment survey perhaps to minimize the issue of attribute nonattendance. It warrants researchers to know how importance each service attribute is, for the most suitable perceived attributes relative importance. A technique for determining the relative importance of various service attributes to SWM was examined. A Sample of 230 households was determined using Krejcie and Morgan, and questionnaire survey approach was adopted. Data were analyzed using Relative Importance Index. The analysis showed that a relatively simple method using a ranking of multivariate correlation coefficients from high to low might be the most helpful approach for ranking the relative importance attributes. Findings indicated that collection frequency, disposal method, storage facilities, pre-collection and monthly payment were the most appropriate subset of the entire lists which influences waste collection services improvement in Kano Metropolis.
