Drivers and formation mechanism of resident's domestic waste management ability:A grounded theory-based probe
This paper put forwards the concept and the connotation of the domestic waste management ability,and uses the grounded theory to explore the drivers and the mechanism of the resident's domestic waste management ability.In-depth interviews with urban residents were conducted,and the interview text materials were coded and analyzed,and the initial concepts and sub-categories were extracted through open coding.The subcategories were clustered to form five main categories,including personality,social factors,policy factors,demographic variables,and utility perception.Through selective coding,it was found that:1)Personality,social factors,utility perception,as well as education,family and knowledge level directly affect the formation of resident's domestic waste management ability.2)The better the popularization and implementation of policies are,the more the utility perception can promote the formation of domestic waste management ability.3)Personality and social factors directly affect residents'perception of the results of household waste management ability,and then drive residents to develop their domestic waste management ability.This paper provides a new research perspective for the research of residents'waste management behavior,and provides theoretical support for the government and society to guide residents to form domestic waste management habits.
