Keywords:
Behaviors, Household Solid Waste, Local Administrative OrganizationsAbstract
This cross-sectional research aimed to describe solid waste reduction behaviors and to identify factors affecting household solid waste reduction behaviors in subdistrict administrative organizations without a solid waste management system in the Mueang district of Phitsanulok province. The sample consisted of 411 households, selected by stratified random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire with KR-20 reliability yielding 0.72. The reliability of the questionnaire for attitude, motivation, information receiving, social support, and behavior were 0.70, 0.76, 0.72, 0.90, and 0.72, respectively. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and also stepwise multiple regression.
The results showed that solid waste reduction behaviors were at a high level (M=3.89,
SD=0.59). Factors affecting household solid waste reduction behaviors were: social support
(ϐ=0.280), positive attitude of solid waste reduction behavior (ϐ=0.246), motivation of solid waste reduction (ϐ=0.220), knowledge of solid waste reduction (ϐ=0.180), number of household members (ϐ=0.101) and service of the recycling shop (ϐ=0.082) with overall prediction power of 40.00 percent at p < 0.05.
Subdistrict administrative organizations should increase social support and motivation for community solid waste reduction, and adjust their strategies for enhancing knowledge and understanding of solid waste reduction from the household source.
