This study explores people's attitudes toward conservation and their resource recycling and reuse behavior at home and in the workplace in Wenshen, Taipei. Household data from a 1993 field survey show that resource recycling and reuse behavior is not a unidimensional concept. Within households, there are four dimensions-paper recycling, recycling of non-paper products, waste reduction, and product reuse. In work settings, there are two factors-the recycling and reuse of paper used in work and the recycling of other products. There is a strong positive relationship between household and workplace resource recycling and reuse behavior. Furthermore, when resource recycling and reuse behavior at home is held constant, workplace resource recycling and reuse behaviors differ depending on the work settings. Those working in educational facilities and in the commercial sector tend to recycle and reuse more than those employed in the industrial sector. The last part of this research proposes planning and policy implications and future research as well. |
