摘要

人口的迅速增加和人类活动的加剧导致了大量的废物产生,甚至在农村社区也构成了挑战。尽管这个问题很重要,但在这些环境中,关注社会资本动态和废物管理实践之间联系的研究明显不足。为了解决这一差距,本研究调查了伊朗伊斯法罕省赛米罗姆地区农村地区社会资本与固体废物管理行为之间的关系。采用简单随机抽样和问卷调查的方法,于2024年对150名农村居民进行数据收集。利用Pearson相关系数、人工神经网络和逐步回归等方法对城市固体废物管理指标和社会资本构成进行分析。结果表明,总体社会资本指数与农村固体废物管理得分之间存在很强的相关性(0.76),社会资本被认为是固体废物管理实践比社会经济因素更重要的预测因素。在社会资本的构成要素中,社会伦理和社会参与对固体废物管理行为有显著的正向影响,社会伦理每增加一个单位对固体废物管理行为的促进作用约为1.41个单位,社会参与每增加一个单位对固体废物管理行为的促进作用约为0.76个单位。该研究的结论是,加强农村地区的废物管理实践可以通过改善社会资本和通过教育和参与倡议促进更多的社区参与来实现。

Social capital as a key predictor in solid rural waste management: A case study of rural residents in Iran
The rapid increase in population and heightened human activities have led to significant waste generation, posing challenges even in rural communities. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a clear shortage of research focused on the connection between social capital dynamics and waste management practices in these settings. To address this gap, this study investigates the relationship between social capital and solid waste management behaviors in rural areas, in the Semirom region of Isfahan province, Iran. Data were collected from 150 rural residents using a simple random sampling method and a questionnaire interview in 2024. Metrics for solid waste management and components of social capital were computed, and data analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation coefficient, artificial neural networks, and stepwise regression. The results indicated a strong correlation (0.76) between the overall social capital index and solid rural waste management scores, with social capital identified as a more crucial predictor of solid waste management practices than socio-economic factors. Among the components of social capital, social ethics, and social participation were found to have a positive and significant impact on solid waste management behaviors, with each unit increase in social ethics improving waste management behavior by approximately 1.41 units and each unit increase in social participation enhancing it by about 0.76 units. The study concludes that strengthening waste management practices in rural areas can be achieved by improving social capital and promoting greater community participation through education and engagement initiatives.
