隨著環保意識的興起,我國的資源回收量每年持續在增加,至2017年資源回收率已達52.26%。然而,據立法院預算中心的調查報告顯示我國的垃圾掩埋場將到達使用上限且焚化爐的使用年限亦將至,屆時垃圾處理問題將無法單靠資源回收來解決,故從源頭減少垃圾的產生方為有效解決我國垃圾問題之方法。此外,外食文化已成為台灣社會的常態,外食所產生的生活垃圾如餐盒、飲料杯、免洗筷、塑膠袋等,更是許多垃圾的來源。其中大學生是外食族的主要族群,故本研究之研究對象設為國立政治大學之學士班學生,並利用集群抽樣的方式,從大學部所開設的課程中隨機抽取10班,經授課教師同意後,向其中7個課程實行問卷調查,以分析大學生的拒用一次性餐具行為,問卷回收總計385份,問卷回收率為56%,經樣本代表性檢定本研究之樣本與母體的性別比例不具顯著差異,對於研究結果之呈現具有一定程度的解釋力。據本研究的問卷調查結果顯示政治大學的大學生平均一週外食天數高達5.94天,故研究這些大學生外食族的拒用一次性餐具之行為意向將可為我國現行垃圾減量政策提供政策建議。本研究結合計畫行為理論與規範活化理論來分析大學生外食族的拒用一次性餐具的行為意向,研究發現:大學生的態度、主觀規範、行為控制知覺與個人規範皆會對其拒用一次性餐具的行為意向有正向顯著之影響,影響程度依序為:個人規範、行為控制知覺、態度、主觀規範。
With environmental awareness on the rise in Taiwan, the amount of waste recycled in the country continues to increase every year, and the recycling rate has reached 52.26% in 2017. However, according to the investigation report of the Legislative Yuan's budget center, not only will Taiwan's landfills reach its maximum capacity, but lifespan incinerators around the island will soon come to an end. At that time, challenges associated with waste disposal can no longer be solved by the means of resource recycling alone. The effective solution to Taiwan's garbage problem, therefore, lies in reducing garbage generation from its source. In addition, taking-out has become the norm of Taiwan's food culture. Domestic garbage caused by eating out, such as lunch boxes, beverage cups, disposable chopsticks, plastic bags, etc., consist of a large amount of garbage. Since college students as a group of Taiwan population generally eat out more than any other groups, the research object of this study was set as undergraduate student of National Cheng-chi University. Ten classes were randomly selected by means of cluster sampling from the courses offered by the university department. Out of these ten classes, questionnaire surveys were conducted in seven of them with the teacher's consent. The purpose of survey is to analyze college students' refusal behavior in terms of using disposable tableware. A total of 385 questionnaires were collected, and the questionnaire recovery rate was 56%. According to sample representative test, the gender ratio of the sample to the population of the study is not significantly different. Thus, the presentation of the research results has explanatory power to a certain extent. The survey result has shown that college students in National Cheng-chi University average eat out for 5.94 days each week. It is clear that studying the behavior of those college students refusing to use disposable tableware will provide recommendations for Taiwan's current waste reduction policy. With the belief in mind, this research has combined theory of planned behavior and the theory of norm activation to analyze the behavioral intentions of college students who refuse to use disposable tableware. The factor mentioned above are arranged in order of priority: personal norm, perceived behavioral control, attitude, subjective norm.
