Abstract
This study investigated a desirable garbage recycling system consisting attributes such as number of times for garbage collection, collection methods, charge and so on, using a conjoint analysis as multi-attribute utility analytical method, which differs from conventional questionnaire investigations to evaluate each attribute independently. Especially, the conjoint analysis was applied to residents in three local municipalities which are different in regional conditions such as the current treatment way of garbage, the urban form such as urban or rural areas, and the type of habitation. As the result, willingness to pay (WTP) for the number of garbage collection time was high for residents living in collective housings. In a large city, biogasification which can recover energy tended to be more desirable than composting.
