| Summary: | 碩士 === 明新科技大學 === 土木工程與環境資源管理系碩士在職專班 === 104 === The objective of this thesis is to come up with some feasible suggestions by researching into the perception, attitudes and behavioral tendencies of the citizens in Hsin-Chu County towards the recycling of waste cooking oil. These suggestions can be used as great references to either the central or local governments and for future research. This thesis utilizes questionnaire as the primary research method. There are 213 effective samples out of 250 participants, which yield to 85.2% response rate. The data was analyzed by utilizing Descriptive Statistics (Frequency Distribution, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (CV)), Independent-Samples t Test, One-way Analysis of Variance ,Pearson's Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and Simple Linear Regression.
The results are stated as follows:
1.75.13 % of participants are aware of the environmental impact caused by waste cooking oil. It shows that our government should be more efforts to carry out environmental education and public awareness work. 81.95% of participants show a positive and proactive attitude towards the way the waste cooking oil is currently handled which shows their concern about this issue. 80.89% of participants show strong willingness to recycle waste cooking oil.
