Globally, cities generate 1.3 billion tons of solid waste per year, amounting to a rate of 1.2 kg per person per day. Solid waste management is an important challenge to both the developed and developing countries. This study aimed to assess the willingness to pay for the improved solid waste management and associated factors among households in Injibara town, Ethiopia.
A total of 903 household heads participated in the study. The finding indicated that 81.06% were willing to pay for the service. The average amount of money the participants would be willing to pay per month was 29.7 ETB ($1.07)). The study revealed that sex (β = 3.24, (95% CI 1.98, 4.50)), age (β = - 0.09: 95% CI - 0.19, - 0.01), educational status (β = 6.19: 95% CI 3.54, 8.84), occupation (β = 2.43: 95% CI 1.009, 3.86), amount of solid waste generated (β = 1.74: 95% CI 0.19, 3.29), distance from dump site (β = 1.58: 95% CI 0.45, 2.72), satisfaction with the existing service (β = 3.89, (95% CI 2.75, 5.06) and wealth status (β = 2.43: 95% CI 1.0, 3.86) were statistically significant. Therefore, the level of premium load should consider the amount of waste generated, wealth status and the distance from the dump site.
在全球范围内，城市每年产生13亿吨固体废物，人均每天产生量达1.2千克。固体废物管理对发达国家和发展中国家而言都是一项重大挑战。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚因吉巴拉镇家庭为改善固体废物管理付费的意愿及相关因素。
共有903名户主参与了本研究。结果表明，81.06%的人愿意为该服务付费。参与者每月愿意支付的平均金额为29.7埃塞俄比亚比尔（1.07美元）。研究显示，性别（β = 3.24，95%置信区间1.98, 4.50）、年龄（β = -0.09：95%置信区间 -0.19, -0.01）、教育程度（β = 6.19：95%置信区间3.54, 8.84）、职业（β = 2.43：95%置信区间1.009, 3.86）、产生的固体废物量（β = 1.74：95%置信区间0.19, 3.29）、与垃圾场的距离（β = 1.58：95%置信区间0.45, 2.72）、对现有服务的满意度（β = 3.89，95%置信区间2.
