Abstract

One of the biggest environmental issues facing the planet today is plastic garbage, which was created by people and has an effect on them as well. Although though governments have implemented policies, rules, and other initiatives to increase public awareness of and engagement in decreasing plastic trash, the statistics has not changed, and this amount keeps rising every year. Several nations appear to be having trouble solving this problem. In addition, according to the World Bank, the country produces more plastics the wealthy its citizens are. By evaluating behavior and educating people, culture and education can be the answer to this problem. As people get more educated, their awareness of and care for the environment increases. The relationship between each of these factors—culture, education, national income, and government role and environmental problems might potentially help minimize plastic waste. Consequently, the goal of this study is to pinpoint the variables that may have an impact on the volume of plastic garbage and examine how these variables may affect the quantity of plastic waste in various nations. Hofstede's national culture dimension (Power Distance, Collectivism and Individualism, Masculinity and Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-term Orientation and Short-term Orientation, Indulgence and Restraint), wealth per capita, education, and the government's plan and policy on sustainable consumption are the variables that will be examined. In this study, worldwide data for the year 2018 is gathered from 66 different nations utilizing secondary sources, and the data is then analyzed using the Multiple Linear Regression approach. According to the findings, there is a strong correlation between individualism and collectivism and the volume of plastic garbage. The results of this study should help each nation's government reduce the quantity of plastic garbage that is generated.
分析影响塑料垃圾数量的因素
当今地球面临的最大环境问题之一是塑料垃圾,塑料垃圾是人类制造的,也对人类产生了影响。尽管政府已经实施了政策、法规和其他举措来提高公众对减少塑料垃圾的认识和参与,但统计数据并没有改变,而且这个数字每年都在上升。一些国家似乎在解决这个问题上遇到了麻烦。此外,根据世界银行的数据,该国生产的塑料越多,其公民就越富有。通过评价行为和教育人们,文化和教育可以解决这个问题。随着人们受教育程度的提高,他们对环境的意识和关心也在增加。文化、教育、国民收入、政府角色和环境问题这些因素之间的关系可能有助于最大限度地减少塑料废物。因此,本研究的目标是找出可能对塑料垃圾数量产生影响的变量,并研究这些变量如何影响各国塑料垃圾的数量。Hofstede的国家文化维度(权力距离,集体主义和个人主义,男性气质和女性气质,不确定性规避,长期取向和短期取向,放纵和克制),人均财富,教育,政府的可持续消费计划和政策是将被检查的变量。在本研究中,利用二手来源从66个不同国家收集了2018年的全球数据,然后使用多元线性回归方法对数据进行分析。根据研究结果,个人主义和集体主义与塑料垃圾的数量之间存在很强的相关性。这项研究的结果应该有助于各国政府减少产生的塑料垃圾的数量。
