| Summary: | Early introduction of household waste sorting behavior (WSB) can demote common
environmental pollution and and its effects. Source of waste in Indonesia is households
which specifically come from food scraps, yard waste, wrapping materials, even hazardous
and non-hazardous materials, recyclable and nonrecyclable waste, organic and non-organic.
In Indonesia, household waste was sorted only 23,83%. This study investigated factors
correlated with household waste sorting behavior in Indonesia by applying the theory of
planned behavior (TPB). This is a cross-sectional research uses a unique dataset collected
by the Indonesian government, including the Village Potential Statistics (VPS) Year 2011
and Environmental Care Behavior Survey (ECBS) Year 2013. Factors related to household
WSB were determined by exercising a multivariable logistic regression model working
manual backward stepwise regression. All of model, almost all factors of the planned
behavior theory and its extension were significantly associated with household WSB except
perceived behavioral control (precise enough: OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.88, 1.19), not build
affect an educational environmental infrastructure (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.03) and not
build affect a production skill (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.04). This study resulted intention,
attitude, and subjective norm as a determinant of household waste sorting behavior after
considering the share of several government-based variables. The existence of community
empowerment programs such as environmental infrastructure improvement, economic
capacity building and community social capacity initiative contribute and could be part of
productive design to implement household waste sorting behavior.
