Description
Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 財務金融系 === 105 === The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting daily water use per person in various counties and cities, develop the regression model, and investigate the effect of various independent variables on daily water use per person. The main empirical results are as follows: 1.Variables, such as proportion of employment in agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry industries, daily trash removal per person, and educational background of college and above, have a positive effect on daily water use per person, suggesting that the higher the proportion of employment in agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry, the higher the proportion of educational background of college and above, and the higher the daily trash removal per person are, the higher the daily water use per person is. 2.The penetration rate of tap water supply and the average number of people per household have a negative effect on daily water use per person, suggesting that the higher the penetration rate of tap water supply and the higher the average number of people per household are, the lower the daily water use per person is. 3.Household Disposable Income per person in counties and cities other than Six Big Metropolises has a positive effect on daily water use per person, suggesting that the higher the household disposable income per person is, the higher the daily water use per person is. However, the regression result showed that the effect of household disposable income per person in Six Big Metropolises on daily water user per person did not reach significance. In other words, the household disposable income per person in Six Big Metropolises does not have any effect on daily water use per person.
