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.

  • A Household Solid Waste Recycling Programme in Stellenbosch: Householders' Attitudes and Willingness Toparticip Ate
    A HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAMME IN STELLENBOSCH: HOUSEHOLDERS' ATTITUDES AND WILLINGNESS TOPARTICIP ATE MAFALLA E. MAKAU Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Stellenbosch. Supervisor: Dr PH DE NECKER APRIL2006 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii DECLARATION I; the undersigned. hereby. dcclm·\i that the W«k ¢Mtained ih tbl:s thesis is my own Qfiglnal work and that 1 have;: oot previously in Ita entirety or In part submitted it Bt any univorsit;y for a dagrec. Signature: Daw: Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Ill ABSTRACT Municipal waste presents problems of pollution, health hazards and resource conservation. Household waste forms part of municipal solid waste that is a challenge to control due to its heterogeneity and diversity. The ever-filling landfills for the disposal of solid waste due to rapid population increase and urbanization call for urgent waste management strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste. In this study householders' attitudes, participation in recycling and willingness to participate in household solid waste recycling are investigated to design and implement a household solid waste recycling programme in Stellenbosch. Questionnaire survey data about the awareness of, attitudes towards, and participation in household waste recycling were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods in the STATISTICA V6 program. Results were displayed in frequency tables, bar charts, maps and pie charts. The same statistical program was used to fmd the relationship between the householders' willingness to participate in the household solid waste recycling programme, namely the Blue Bag Household Waste Recovery Programme (BBHWRP), and their socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
