本篇論文旨在探討影響台灣民眾回收行為的因素，利用五個研究課題去分析民 眾的回收行為。 (1) 每人每年回收量與鄉鎮回收率之 EKC 實證模型。 (2) 非強制社會規範與政治變數對每人每年回收量與鄉鎮回收率的影響。 (3) 第一階段垃圾強制分類政策實施成效之實證模型。 (4) 第一階段垃圾強制分類政策示範鄉鎮或強制參與鄉鎮是否存在顯著差異。 (5) 鄉鎮市丟棄回收物之方便程度是否對於民眾之回收行為構成影響。 資料蒐集民國 89 年至 97 年間和 101 年台灣各鄉鎮之回收與相關鄉鎮變數年資料。 實證結果發現無論是以每人每年回收量或是鄉鎮的回收率作為回收指標，皆顯 著驗證了 EKC 曲線的存在。而慈濟功德會組織的設立能有效提升民眾的回收行為，且鄉鎮丟棄回收物越方便，則對於民眾回收意願會增加。 另一部分，第一階段垃圾強制分類政策對於實施之鄉鎮具有成果，而若將實施 鄉鎮區分為示範鄉鎮與強制參與鄉鎮，則發現示範鄉鎮之回收成果不及於強制參與 鄉鎮。;This essay is aimed to discuss the reasons that influence recycling behavior in Taiwan. We analysis the recycling behaviors of people by five issues. (1) The EKC model of the recycling quantity per capita and recycling rate. (2) The impact of non-mandatory social norms and political variables on the recycling quantity per capita and recycling rate. (3) The effects of the First stage of mandatory recycle policy. (4) The effects between the example towns and the mandatory towns in the First stage of mandatory recycle policy. (5) The impact of the convenient extent to discard recycling on the recycling quantity per capita and recycling rate.
We collect the township recycling data and socio-economic data from 2000 to 2008 and 2012. The empirical results show whether the recycling quantity per capita or the recycling rate are significant to verify the existence of EKC. Tzu-Chi foundation can improve recycling behavior significantly. And the more convenient to discard recycling, the willingness for people to increase recycling behaviors . On the other hand, the First stage of mandatory recycle policy for the township has implemented significant results, but if the implementation towns are divided into the example towns and the mandatory towns, the results of the recycling behaviors are less than the mandatory towns.
