Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 產業經濟研究所 === 102 === This essay is aimed to discuss the reasons that influence recycling behavior in Taiwan.
We analysis the recycling behaviors of people by five issues.
(1) The EKC model of the recycling quantity per capita and recycling rate.
(2) The impact of non-mandatory social norms and political variables on the recycling
quantity per capita and recycling rate.
(3) The effects of the First stage of mandatory recycle policy.
(4) The effects between the example towns and the mandatory towns in the First stage of
mandatory recycle policy.
(5) The impact of the convenient extent to discard recycling on the recycling quantity per
capita and recycling rate.
We collect the township recycling data and socio-economic data from 2000 to 2008 and 2012.
The empirical results show whether the recycling quantity per capita or the recycling rate are significant to verify the existence of EKC. Tzu-Chi foundation can improve
recycling behavior significantly. And the more convenient to discard recycling, the willingness for people to increase recycling behaviors .
On the other hand, the First stage of mandatory recycle policy for the township has
implemented significant results, but if the implementation towns are divided into the
example towns and the mandatory towns, the results of the recycling behaviors are less
than the mandatory towns.
