“…Some studies show a positive correlation between income and energy-saving behavior [45,46]. However, Hori et al [47] found that the effect of income on household energy-saving behavior is very weak. …”

“…Another study by Harris [22] reveals that people in China are unlikely to act to protect the environment unless doing so is necessary to protect their own interests or those of their loved ones. Hori et al [23] also find that global warming consciousness, environmental behavior, and social interaction have significant effect on energy-saving behavior in Dalian, Chongqing, Fukuoka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh.…”

Abstract:This study has adopted and refined Ajzen's theory of planned behavior, theory of reasoned action, and the value-belief-norm theory by Stern et al. to investigate the effects of normative beliefs, attitudes, and social norms on pro-environmental behavioral intentions. A total of 391 valid responses were collected from visitors to a theme park in Taiwan. A structure equation analysis indicated that the overall fit of the proposed model was supported. It was also found that both attitudes and social norms had positive and significant influence on waste reduction. While the results did not reveal any direct relation between normative beliefs and behavioral intentions, normative beliefs had positive direct influence on social norms and attitudes, which in turn had an impact on behavioral intentions. The findings provided further insights about pro-environmental behavioral intentions from an Asia perspective and highlighted important implications for environmental policies and education to reduce waste.

“…Research into the UK "Pay as You Save" scheme identified financial savings as the primary driver of insulation retrofitting (DECC and EST 2011). Other notable factors include consciousness of climate change and levels of social interaction (Hori et al 2013). Large media campaigns are also highlighted as having been effective at changing behaviour (Lind en, CarlssonKanyama, and Eriksson 2006;Paço and Varejão 2010).…”

Retrofitting existing housing stock to improve energy efficiency is often required to meet climate mitigation, public health and fuel poverty targets. Increasing uptake and effectiveness of retrofit schemes requires understanding of their impacts on householder attitudes and behaviours. This paper reports results of a survey of 500 Kirklees householders in the UK, where the Kirklees Warm Zone scheme took place. This was a local government led city scale domestic retrofit programme that installed energy efficiency measures at no charge in over 50,000 houses. The results highlight key design features of the scheme, socio-economic and attitudinal factors that affected take-up of energy efficiency measures and impacts on behaviour and energy use after adoption. The results emphasise the role that positive feedback plays in reinforcing pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours of participants and in addressing concerns of non-participants. Our findings have implications for the design and operation of future domestic energy efficiency retrofit schemes.
