چکیده

مطالعه­ پیمایشی حاضر به بررسی عوامل اجتماعی مؤثر بر رفتارهای مدیریت پسماند جامد (کاهش، بازاستفاده و بازیافت) در شهرآبادان، پرداخته است. در این پژوهش 395 نفر از شهروندان به روش­ نمونه­گیری تصادفی چندمرحله­ای انتخاب و داده‌های موردنیاز از آنان جمع آوری شده است. بر اساس یافته‌های توصیفی تحقیق، میانگین سن پاسخگویان 5/32 سال بوده است. 7/53% کل پاسخگویان را مردان و 3/46% را زنان تشکیل داده‌اند. بر مبنای یافته‌های تحلیلی تحقیق، رابطه­ی بین نگرش­های زیست­محیطی با بازاستفاده و بازیافت زباله مثبت و معنا­دار است. هنجارهای ذهنی در هر دو بعد «هنجارهای توصیفی» و «هنجارهای تأکیدی» و فرهنگ شهروندی در هر دو بعد «تعهدات شهروندی» و «مشارکت شهروندی» رابطه­ی مثبت و معنا­داری با رفتارهای مدیریت پسماند دارند. به‌علاوه، سن رابطه­ منفی و معنا­داری با کاهش زباله نشان می‌دهد. میانگین رفتارهای مدیریت پسماند جامد در میان گروه­های مختلف تحصیلی دارای تفاوت معنا­داری است. میانگین بازاستفاده از زباله در میان زنان بالاتر از مردان است و میانگین کاهش و بازاستفاده از زباله در دو گروه مجردین و متأهلین دارای تفاوت معنا­داری است. نتایج حاصل از تحلیل رگرسیون نشان می‌دهد متغیرهای مستقل 38/0 از واریانس متغیر وابسته را تبیین می­کنند که در این میان کنترل رفتار ادراک‌شده در بعد بیرونی بیشترین سهم را در تبیین واریانس متغیر وابسته دارا است.

چکیده [English]

This study has investigated the effective social factors on solid waste management behaviors (reduce, reuse, and recycle) in Abadan city. 395 people who were selected using the multi-stage random sampling method responded to the questions. Based on the descriptive findings, the mean age of the respondents is 32.5, and 53.7% are men and 46.3% are women. The analytical findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between environmental attitudes and reusing and recycling. Mental norms in both dimensions of "descriptive norms" and "emphatic norms", and citizenship culture in both dimensions of "obligations" and "participation" have shown a positive and significant relationship with waste management behavior. In addition, age has a negative and significant relationship with waste reduction. The mean for solid waste management behavior is significantly different among differently educated groups. The mean for reusing among women is significantly higher than among men and the mean for reduction and reusing are significantly different between single and married people. The regression analysis indicates that the independent variables can explain 0.38 of the dependent variable and the perceived behavior control in its external dimension is the most powerful variable for predicting the dependent variable.
