dc.description.abstract | This paper mainly discusses the relationship between the amount of waste generated on Taiwan’s island and the population structure. It will be divided into municipalities and non-municipalities according to the different units of waste disposal authority. The research period is 100 years from the Republic of China to 107 years of the Republic of China. Statistics of garbage collection and transportation of the Environmental Protection Agency, total annual report of the Department of Household Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior, and the Chief Accounting Office of the Executive Yuan, etc. All samples are 48 in municipalities and 104 in non-municipalities. The data types are both time series and cross-sectional. The relevant statistical data of the surface, the research method uses the least square method (OLS) and the fixed effect (Fixed Effects Regression Model), the model sets the explained variables to the amount of general garbage, and the related explanatory variables are: the age and population variables are divided into those under 14 years of age Infant population and the elderly population over 65 years old, education level variables are: college education level, high school education level, other education level, economic variables are: income, square terms of income, and collect data such as resource waste generation variables for correlation empirical analysis.
The study found that among the counties, cities and regions, the population of young people under the age of 14 is declining year by year and the number of elderly people over 65 is increasing year by year. This shows that Taiwan has entered the trend of an aging society. Demand, relatively affects the amount of general garbage generated. Variables of education level For every county, city and region where there is a population of more than a thousand college-level education, the amount of general waste generated will show a significant reduction trend. The economic variables will increase in counties, cities and regions. Generally, the amount of garbage generated is increasing. On the contrary, the reduction of income, the reduction of the willingness of the Chinese people to slow down economic growth, and the general waste generation will show a decreasing trend. This result is realistic. The increase in resource waste in the resource waste variable can significantly reduce the generation of general waste. For the above reasons, The municipalities and non-municipalities have different interpretation variables related to the influence of demographic characteristics, which in turn changes the amount of general garbage generated. | en_US |
