Abstract
The issue of recycling is one of the issues that have concerned urban management today. Among various social groups, women have a special place in the discussions of recycling and household waste recycling. In this regard, understanding women’s attitudes towards waste recycling is necessary for the management of household waste. Thus, the current study aims to investigate women’s attitudes towards household recycling and factors affecting them. The research, which used survey method, was conducted in urban areas of Mazandaran province on a sample of 471 urban housewives. The instrument for data collection was researcher-made questionnaire, the validity and reliability of which were verified. The research results showed that the new environmental paradigm has a significant role in shaping positive environmental attitudes towards household waste recycling management. Moreover, there was a positive and significant relationship between environmental concerns, level of education, and family socioeconomic status with attitudes towards recycling. In addition to scientific and theoretical applications, the findings of this research can be used by urban environmental authorities, managers, and planners.
