The objective of the study was to determine the factors that influence community participation in the management of electronic waste. A survey of community willingness to participate in the management of electronic waste was conducted using questionnaires. Survey locations covered western areas of the city of Surabaya, Indonesia, where 238 respondents were selected proportionally from high-, medium-, and low-income groups during 2014. The group was divided by land and building taxes, which represents the socio-economic conditions of the community. Processing and statistical data analysis were performed with structural equation modeling. Results showed that one factor influencing the willingness of communities to manage e-waste was behavior, while factors influencing the willingness of communities to pay more included behavior, attitudes, and knowledge. Strategies to increase community participation can be applied through education and community assistance, the provision of recycling facilities, and applied regulations about e-waste management and extended producer responsibility.
本研究旨在确定影响社区参与电子废物管理的因素。采用问卷调查的方式对社区参与电子废物管理的意愿进行了调查。调查地点覆盖印度尼西亚泗水市西部地区，2014 年期间从高、中、低收入群体中按比例选择了 238 名受访者。该组按土地和建筑税划分，代表社区的社会经济状况。采用结构方程模型进行处理和统计数据分析。结果表明，影响社区处理电子废物意愿的一个因素是行为，而影响社区支付更高费用意愿的因素包括行为、态度和知识。可以通过教育和社区援助、提供回收设施以及实施有关电子废物管理和生产者延伸责任的适用法规等策略来提高社区参与度。
