Abstract
When user-charge-system for solid waste is introduced, it is natural that the motivation for reducing waste occur in many inhabitants. Authors supposed there are two types about the motivation, TYPE 1; reducing to cut down on their expenses, and TYPE 2; to preserve and protect environment. In order to maintain the effect of household's waste reduction, TYPE 2 is more desirable. In this study, authors supposed the motivation for reducing waste is closely connected with ATTITUDE FORMATION for user-charge-system for solid waste. This study attemped to analyze the relation between motivation for reducing household's waste and attitude formation for user-charge-system, based on an example in Sumoto City. The results of analysis are as follows:
(1) When a person recognizes that many people become aware of waste problem by introduction of user-chragesystem, he tends to form positive attitude for the system, and TYPE 2 occurs in him.
(2) When a person recognizes that many people make efforts to reduce household's waste by introduction of user-charge-system, he tends to form weak positive attitude for the system, and TYPE 2 occurs in him.
(3) When a person recognizes that people, but him, who have discharged a lot of household's waste make efforts to reduce waste by introduction of user-charge-system, he tends to form positive attitude for the system, but TYPE 2 doesn't occur.
