Abstract
Effects of socioeconomic factors on the civil cooperation especially for managing of household sewages
(Case study: Gorgan city)
Nowadays, mass production of the municipal solid waste is one of the major bioenvironmental problems. Millions of tons of waste are generated in Iran due to the population growth, increase in the number of various products and consumer goods and consumerism among citizens. Therefore, the household waste per capita in Iran and notably in Gorgan is increasing. This is a descriptive – analytical study in terms of the subject and factors, and is applied-developmental study in terms of the purpose and nature. The statistical population consisted of three districts of triad regions of Gorgan with a population of 165752 people and 48751 households of whom 382 people were selected using the Cluster sampling method. This study aimed to investigate the different factors affecting the citizens' participation in waste management. Results showed that the citizens' participation of the different districts of Gorgan is significantly different in managing the household waste and district 2 is different from districts 3 and 1 in terms of the citizens' participation in managing the household waste. Moreover, there is a relationship between the variables of the social and economic bases and household waste management. Furthermore, sex, age and literacy rate contributed to the citizens' participation rate.
