Abstract
The study of waste research has advanced significantly in over fifteen years, exploring human behavior and the physical aspects of waste. The theory of planned behavior has been extensively utilized to explain the phenomena and symptoms related to behavior related to waste. Consequently, the objective of our study is to apply the theory of planned behavior to enhance our understanding of how households manage waste. This understanding is a critical stage in developing effective strategies and improving the level of quality of existing policy and program intervention. The study is conducted at Tangerang Selatan, a municipality region in Banten Province. Likert scale structured questionnaire instruments are employed for primary data collection, and household samples are chosen based on predetermined characteristics such as domicile and age purposively. A structural equation model based on Smart PLS is employed in the analysis. The results of our study have implications for the development of policies since they encourage the establishment of specialized waste management facilities as well as promote community involvement in residential waste management.
