Abstract
The effective treatment of rural domestic waste is the key to solving rural environmental pollution and realizing rural ecological revitalization. Giving full play to the main role of farmers’ domestic waste classification can improve the efficiency and effect of domestic waste treatment. To explore the key factors affecting the farmers’ perception, attitude, and behavior of domestic waste classification, this study with 318 farmers in Sichuan Province as the research object, the research framework of domestic waste classification behavior was constructed based on the theory of planned behavior, and then, the logistic regression model was used for the empirical test. The results show that the farmers’ education levels, subjective norms, relatives’ and neighbors’ views on waste classification, farmers’ awareness regarding the negative environmental impacts caused by waste, farmers’ private benefits, and farmers’ views on the waste management ability of local governments are significantly positively correlated with the classification behavior of farmers’ domestic waste. The distance between farmers’ houses and waste collection points is significantly negatively correlated with the classification behavior of farmers’ domestic waste. This paper provides a certain theoretical reference for realizing the reduction, resourcization, and positive development of rural domestic waste management in China.
