农村居民生活垃圾收运费用与支付意愿研究——基于全国五省的调查

为探讨农村居民生活垃圾收费制度是否可以成为解决农村生活垃圾处理资金不足的一种方式,利用2014年全国5个省份典型调查数据,在分析农村居民生活垃圾处理资金使用现状的同时,对农村居民生活垃圾缴费的支付意愿及其影响因素进行研究。结果表明:我国农村地区生活垃圾收运的实际费用大约为23.21元/(月·人),农村居民对生活垃圾收运费的支付意愿约为6.50元/(月·户)。两者之间的差距说明,参照农村居民支付意愿收取垃圾费,难以解决生活垃圾收运资金短缺的问题。然而,农村居民对垃圾收运服务的支付意愿是存在的,居民的年龄、文化程度、干部身份和对自身健康程度评价是影响支付意愿的显著因素。目前,越来越多的农村地区开始征收生活垃圾处理费,这种资金筹集方式将在一定程度上弥补农村地区生活垃圾处理资金缺口,但仍需政府的支持和社会资金的引入。

Cost and willingness to pay for the rural household waste collection:Based on a survey of five provinces

Based on a survey of five provinces in China on 2014,the situation of rural household waste funding and residents'' willingness to pay for waste collection are studied and whether the money collected from the residents can become a way to cover the cost of rural household waste collection is explored.The result shows that the current cost of rural household waste collection is about 23.21 yuan/(month·person) and the willingness of rural residents to pay for the waste collection fee is about 6.50 yuan/(month·family).The gap between the two shows that:With the reference to the willingness to pay for rural household waste,waste charges itself is difficult to solve the problem of shortage of waste collection funding.However,the willingness of rural residents to pay for waste collection services does exist.The age,educational level,cadre status and assessment of the health of rural residents are significant factors influencing their willingness to pay.At present,more and more rural areas have already begun to levy household waste charges,which may fill some of the gaps of the rural household waste collection funds.However,household waste collection still needs investment from government and the introduction of social captial at the current level.
