摘要

本研究论文探讨了经济因素与可持续消费行为之间错综复杂的关系，对这些因素如何影响个人在环境责任领域的选择进行了细致入微的探索。本研究以消费者行为和可持续发展的既有理论为基础，采用实证主义方法，包括定量调查和分析。它仔细研究了价格、预期和其他更广泛的经济条件对采用可持续做法的影响。研究结果提供了对推动可持续消费的经济杠杆（如品味、偏好和价格）或阻碍向可持续消费转变的经济杠杆（如社会行为和替代品的可用性）的整体理解，从而为现有知识体系做出了重要贡献。这项研究旨在为政策制定者、企业和消费者提供信息，促进制定有针对性的干预措施和倡议，促进经济和生态目标的和谐统一。

Evaluating the Role of Economic Factors in Sustainable Consumption Behaviour

The research paper investigates the intricate nexus between economic factors and sustainable consumption behaviour, providing a nuanced exploration of how such considerations shape an individual’s choice in the realm of environmental responsibility. Drawing on established theories of consumer behaviour and sustainability, this study employs a positivist approach encompassing quantitative surveys and analysis. It scrutinises the effects of prices, expectations and other broader economic conditions on the adoption of sustainable practices. The findings contribute significantly to the existing body of knowledge by providing a holistic understanding of the economic levers instrumental in driving towards sustainable consumption like taste and preferences and price or hindering the shift towards sustainable consumption like societal behaviour and availability of alternatives. This research aims to inform policymakers, businesses and consumers alike, facilitating the development of targeted interventions and initiatives that foster a harmonious convergence of economic and ecological goals.

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
