Enhancing demand side management is among the focus of Malaysia in its effort to pursue green growth throughout 2016 to 2020. Per capita waste disposal in the country is 0.3 to 1.2 kg and only a mere 2% is recycled. There is huge potential for reducing solid wastes in the country through a more sustainable waste management approach such as reducing, recycling and proper disposal.  This paper explores the result of a quantitative study conducted via a survey questionnaire on 118 households around Klang Valley. Applying the protection motivation theory, an ordinary least squares regression is applied to data to determine the significant factors affecting waste management behavior of households. Several elements of waste management behavior are investigated, such as waste avoidance, green purchases and reuse and recycle behavior. Results of study show that coping and threat appraisal processes significantly affect waste disposal and reuse and recycle behavior. For green purchasing and waste avoidance behavior, they are affected by coping appraisal but not threat appraisal process.  The study suggests that if the government can promote the information on how severe contaminated environments can have on humans and their surroundings, it can lead to more responsible disposal of waste as well as can increase reuse and recycling activities of households. Apart from that, highlighting the positive impact an individual person’s action can bring to the environment may increase reuse and recycling, waste avoidance and disposal and green purchase activities of the society, particularly the households.

Insight Into

The authors examine the antecedents of household garbage reduction behavior in the context of an integrated waste management behavior model. This model incorporates a wide variety of important factors from previous research on environmental behavior into a single theoretical framework provided by the Theory of Planned Behavior. The model was tested using data from a sample of over 1400 individual respondents, each of whom completed a survey and a two-week diary of his or her waste management behaviors. Overall, the results suggest that this model fits the data well and provides significant insight into the factors that influence waste reduction behavior. The authors draw public policy implications from the results.

Household Waste Management

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Pandemic had been hitting throughout the world since early 2020. Indonesia faces severe impacts, including the deaths of millions of people and vast virus transmission through a bad waste management system. Since the government applied lockdown in many regions, household waste increases and led to various problems. This research aims to explain household waste management intention during Covid-19, especially in a metropolitan city like Jakarta. This research adopts the Theory of Planned Behavior and examines the impacts of pandemic awareness, knowledge, and religion. Participants were involved in this study are 314 respondents. Questionnaires were gathered through emails, messenger applications, and social media. We use Structural Equation Modelling, particularly Confirmatory Factor Analysis, to analyze data and utilize LISREL 8.80. Results show that household waste management behavior can be encouraged through intention and pandemic risk awareness. Meanwhile, perceived behavioral control and household expenditures have to impact to intention to manage household waste. Moreover, government support also plays an important role in enhancing the intention of managing household waste. Therefore, social media and religious activities can be used to raise the level of risk awareness.
