Abstract:

 Substances that are no longer used in homes, public places and workplaces or thar are in the form of garbage are called household waste. Examples of household waste are paper, bags, boxes, food, batteries, metals, plastics, clothes, furniture, bottles, water, oil, liquid detergents, cardboard, packaging, medicine bottles and boxes, old electronic tools, masks, gloves. Separation of household waste is extremely important in terms of protecting natural resources, creating the opportunity to live in a clean environment and contributing to the economy due to energy savings. In this study, based on Ajzens Theory of Planned Behavior TPB model, 4 factors were added to the model, namely, knowledge of household waste sorting, environmental concern, feeling of guilt, incentives for household waste sorting, and knowledge formed to measure household waste sorting knowledge. The Extended Waste Separation Model EWSM has been proposed to investigate individuals behavior towards waste separation. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling and the fit of the model was evaluated according to various fit criteria.

 Evlerde, halka açık yerlerde ve iş yerlerinde kullanılmayan veya çöp durumunda olan maddelere evsel atık denir. Evsel atıklara kâğıt, poşet, kutu, yiyecek, pil, metaller, plastikler, giysiler, mobilyalar, şişe, su, sıvı yağ, sıvı deterjanlar, karton, ambalaj, ilaç şişesi ve kutusu, eski elektronik araçlar, maske, eldiven örnek olarak verilebilir. Evsel atıkların ayrıştırılması doğal kaynakların korunması, temiz bir çevrede yaşama imkânı oluşturması ve enerji tasarrufu nedeniyle ekonomiye katkı sağlaması açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Ajzenin Planlı Davranış Teorisi PDT modeli temel alınarak modele evsel atık ayırma bilgisi, çevresel kaygı, suçluluk hissi, evsel atık ayırmaya yönelik teşvik ve evsel atık ayırma bilgisini ölçmek için oluşturulan bilgi olmak üzere 4 faktör ilave edilerek, bireylerin atık ayırmaya yönelik davranışlarını araştırmak amacıyla Genişletilmiş Atık Ayırma Modeli GAAM önerilmiştir. Önerilen model yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak test edilmiş ve modelin uygunluğu çeşitli uyum ölçütlerine göre değerlendirilmiştir.
