| description | The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on improving
community garbage sorting behavior through a questionnaire survey. Targeting residents of
varying ages, educational backgrounds, and lengths of residence in the community, the study
utilized VR technology for garbage classification education and behavior guidance. This
comprehensive method evaluated improvements in individuals' willingness, cognition, and
practices regarding garbage classification. We designed a multi-dimensional questionnaire and
employed a random sampling method to select residents who met specific classification criteria as
survey subjects. The research involved analyzing the influence of VR technology on enhancing
garbage classification cognition across different demographics, exploring how VR can shift
attitudes and willingness towards garbage classification, and investigating its role in promoting
actual sorting behavior and frequency. Methodologically, we implemented an immersive VR
experience that simulated various types of garbage and classification scenarios, followed by preand
post-intervention surveys to measure changes in cognition and behavior. Additionally, we
examined the interrelationship between VR technology and other influencing factors, such as
policy advocacy, educational background, and community environment. The findings indicate that
VR technology significantly enhances residents' understanding of garbage classification standards
and improves classification accuracy. Furthermore, the visual representation of the negative
environmental impacts of garbage, depicted through VR, profoundly heightened residents'
environmental awareness and willingness to engage in garbage classification. This study confirms
the practical application value and significant impact of VR technology in improving community
garbage sorting behavior, providing a scientific basis for its further promotion and application in
community waste management practices. |
