Investigation Of Household Waste Separation Behaviors Of University Students With Theory Of Planned Behaviour

Recycling and recycling domestic wastes is an important environmental behavior that saves resources by reducing the amount of solid waste. In addition to the environmental benefits, domestic waste segregation behavior is actually an effective and new resource creation activity.

For a sustainable green and clean world, it is very important to investigate the factors that lead people to domestic waste behavior. In this study, we investigated the attitudes and behaviors of university students regarding household waste separation with a structural equation model (SEM) proposed by Ajzen's Planned Behavior Theory (PDT). It has been determined that the Domestic Waste Separation Model, which is proposed as a result of the analysis, can be used to explain the household waste separation behavior. In this study, it was determined that female students were more sensitive than males. In addition, the satisfaction variable from the local facilities added to the model positively affected the domestic waste behavior
