Abstract

We used the contingent valuation method to determine and analyze the factors that influence citizens' behavior regarding environmental issues related to the service of urban waste in Algeria via the willingness to pay (WTP). Two surveys were conducted, one aimed at assessing how the decision to participate financially in a waste management program differs between respondents in relation to socio-professional characteristics. The other survey seeks to answer a problem related to the effort made by the consumer to sort his packaging waste and especially plastic bottles through a deposit system. The results reveal that the significant factors determining the decision of the WTP are in addition to the socioprofessional variables of the individuals, the type of dwelling and the distance compared to the discharge, the place of residence and the implication in associative movements.
