Abstract
In many cases of local biodiesel fuel (BDF) production, the demand for BDF is greater than the BDF produced from the available supply of waste edible oil (WEO). In order to bridge this gap, it is important to analyze the factors affecting households’ intention to cooperate in supplying WEO, and identify measures to improve this intention, as a lot of household WEO is currently disposed as burnable waste. This study then analyzed these factors by using cross tabulation and quantification theory II based on the results of a questionnaire survey distributed to the inhabitants in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Finally, we present measures to improve households’ intention to supply WEO.
