Waste Prevention Policy and Behaviour: New Approaches to Reducing Waste Generation and its Environmental Impacts: Routledge Studies in Waste Management and Policy
Autor Ana Paula Bortoletoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2016
The first part of the book explores the theoretical framework, policy, barriers and facilitators for waste prevention behaviour. The second part presents in-depth case studies from three cities (Sao Paulo, Sheffield and Tokyo) examining the contextual factors, behavioural variations among them and the role of motivation and constraints in their populations. The book provides a detailed picture of how waste prevention policies enter the private, domestic sphere, offering insights for generating behavioural change at the household level and thus moving larger communities towards sustainable waste management.
The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the areas of environmental policy, management, sociology, psychology, geography, technology and waste studies.

Recenzii
"The strength of the book is in the presentation of three in-depth case studies that examine waste policy across
Sheffield, Tokyo and Sao Paulo....it offers an interesting insight into the connection between social sciences and civil engineering, and will be particularly beneficial for those who are working within the technical and policy interface in waste management."

Descriere
As prosperity levels rise, so too does the level of products and services manufactured. For decision makers facing a growing waste burden, it is imperative that more sustainable waste management programmes are based on an understanding of the complex relationship between waste prevention policies and individual behavior regarding waste generation. This book examines the interplay; taking a close look at the role of motivation, difficulties, values and constraints.
