How policies impact household waste-source separation: an exploratory study of China
This study explores the impact of policies on household separation behavior. A theoretical framework integrating the Technology Acceptance Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior was proposed to elucidate this relationship. The primary finding revealed that policy perception is the core explanatory variable linking policy to the behavioral changes. Furthermore, the mechanisms of policy perception were identified, showing that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness represent two types of policy perceptions, each of which impacts behavior differently. Due to its exploratory nature, the findings warrant validation through further statistical analyses.
期刊介绍:
Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies.

Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services.
Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate.
