OF SOCIAL STUDIES THE HAGUE THE NETHERLANDS VIETNAM - NETHERLANDS PROGRAMME FOR M.A IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS DETERMINANTS OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING BEHAVIOR THE CASE OF HO CHI MINH CITY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS By PHAN BÙI KHUÊ ĐÀI Academic Supervisor: PROF NGUYỄN TRỌNG HOÀI HO CHI MINH CITY, NOVEMBER 2015 ABSTRACT This paper investigates determinants of household waste recycling behavior for six different materials: paper, carton, plastic, metal, glass and cloth using data from the survey “Consumption behavior towards green growth in urban area of Viet Nam”, funded by National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) and logistic regression My findings reveal that psychological factors towards recycling generally appear to be statistically insignificant Nevertheless, concern about waste, awareness of inheritance for future generation and satisfaction of waste condition at household’s residency explain their recycling behavior for some materials Another interesting finding is that the household’s belief of money gained from waste recycling will lead to recycling paper, carton and plastic Furthermore, the results disclose that income and age in some cases affect the recycling behavior negatively Moreover, housing characteristics have impact on recycling behavior positively in the case of metal, carton and paper recycling Key words: household waste recycling, recycling behavior, logistic model i ACKNOWLEDGMENT Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof Nguyen Trong Hoai who provided me with precious data set from the survey “Consumption behavior towards green growth in urban area of Viet Nam”, funded by National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) and gave me valuable guidelines, comments and suggestions for the successful completion of this study I would like to express my special appreciation to Dr Truong Dang Thuy whom I have learned a lot from his enthusiastic guidance, useful recommendations and inspiration Besides, his friendly and inspiring approach has given me a great deal of encouragements to overcome difficulties in the whole research process I would like to express my thanks to Dr Nguyen Hoang Bao and MA Phung Thanh Binh for introducing the logistic regression model at “Data analysis and forecasting” course on December, 2014, hold by the Faculty of Development Economics of HCMC, University of Economics I am also thankful to all lecturers

environment issue in recent years Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (2014) indicated that total solid waste from household was 12.8 million tons per year and would reach to 22 million per year by 2020 Increasing amounts of household waste may lead to the risk of heavy environmental pollution and the seriously impact on public health In the general context, Ho Chi Minh City is facing many challenges in waste management Every day, the city has more than 7,000 tons of garbage and costs each year up to 235 billion VND to handle Thus, in order to recommend government in the design of effective policies to minimize waste, it is necessary to understand household waste recycling behavior The study analyzes the determinants of household waste recycle behavior with the scope of research in Ho Chi Minh City 1.1.2 Scientific problem Currently, there are few studies on the issue of household behavior in Vietnam, mainly towards green consumption (water use; energy use; recycling and transport choice) Of which, there is only one study of Luu Bao Doan and Nguyen Trong Hoai (2015) on household waste recycling behavior Using structural equation modeling, this study indicated that recycling related to the attitude of the household towards recycling Further, general concern and knowledge of environment not have direct relations with the behavior of interest to recycle Therefore, the study with logit models may contribute to academic knowledge on recycling behavior in the context of a developing country like Vietnam Furthermore, this study can provide policy makers with a new perspective on the nature of recycling behavior, the relationship between this behavior and such factors as psychological factors of the environment in general and waste recycling in particular, so that the authority can consider appropriate tools to adjust citizen's behavior towards recycling more 1.2 Research objectives The objective of the study is to identify factors affecting household’s waste recycling behavior in Ho Chi Minh City towards six different materials: metal, carton, paper, plastic, glass and cloth 1.3 Research questions Main question: What factors affect household waste recycling behavior in Ho Chi Minh City? Sub questions: i Do Socio-Economic and Demographic Characteristics affect household waste recycling behavior in Ho Chi Minh City? ii Do Primary Residence Characteristics affect household waste recycling behavior in Ho Chi Minh City? iii Do Psychological factors of the environment and waste recycling affect household waste recycling behavior in Ho Chi Minh City? 1.4 Research scope and data The study will investigate determinants of household waste recycling behavior for different materials: paper, carton, plastic, metal, glass and cloth by using data from the survey “Consumption behavior towards green growth in urban area of Viet Nam”, funded by National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) The survey was conducted in Ho Chi Minh City on April and May 2014, including 200 households from District 1, 3, 4, 9, Binh Thanh, Go Vap, Phu Nhuan and Thu Duc To collect data, investigators directly contacted the household head for an interview, clearly explained the questions and choices, then recorded the respondents' feedback 1.5 The structure of this study Five chapters will be constructed in this study as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction This is the beginning section of thesis, which consists of the research topic and problem statement The research objectives, research questions and the research scope and data are also presented in this chapter The final section will provide the structure of the research Illinois tobit model education (+ for storage space) container recycling) Home type (+ for recycling intention) Barr, S (2007) A sample of 673 respondents of Exeter, UK in 1999 The standardized regression model The frequency and willingness to recycling Halvorsen, B (2008) A sample of 1162 respondents between the age of 16 and 79 from the Norwegian population OLS, Ordered Probit Model The household recycling effort on the following fractions: paper and cardboard, drink cartons, glass, metal, plastic and organic waste Household Income (+) Nixon, H., & Saphores, J D M (2009) A sample of 1507 respondents in US Logistic regression model Decision to recycle Income (n.s.)
