Reclaiming landfills for recreation: A study of local elected officials' attitudes. - 162 p.

Adviser: James Bristor.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 1999.

This study aimed to explore the local elected officials' attitudes toward reclaiming closed type II and type III landfills for recreation uses and to identify the factors influencing the local elected officials' intentions to support landfill recreation reclamation (LR). Data were collected by means of self-administered questionnaires in southern lower Michigan. A conceptual framework based on the theory of planned behavior was applied in developing the survey instrument. The reliability and validity of the newly developed instrument were supported.

520 $a This study aimed to explore the local elected officials' attitudes toward reclaiming closed type II and type III landfills for recreation uses and to identify the factors influencing the local elected officials' intentions to support landfill recreation reclamation (LR). Data were collected by means of self-administered questionnaires in southern lower Michigan. A conceptual framework based on the theory of planned behavior was applied in developing the survey instrument. The reliability and validity of the newly developed instrument were supported.
520 $a This study underlines the usefulness of using a social psychological theory for increasing our understanding of the local elected officials' behavioral intentions regarding their attitudes toward landfill recreation reclamation in their communities. The results suggest that the support of reclaiming closed landfills for recreation uses in the study areas should be facilitated if the local elected officials' perceived positively toward LR (perceived more benefits than risks) and if they perceived support from community referents. The regression of their behavioral intentions toward LR is considered to be a joint function of two significant predictors: (i) attitudes toward the act (Aact)—perceived consequences and preference evaluation, and (ii) subjective norms (SN)—social pressure from their communities. By applying the model, the local elected officials' behavioral intentions toward LR could be predicted using a small set of constructs developed in this study. The model yielded an adjusted <italic>R</italic><super> 2</super> of 0.55 (<italic>p</italic> < 0.001).
520 $a Furthermore, the Aact was found to be a more significant predictor than was SN for the prediction of behavioral intentions. Perceived behavior control did not contribute to the prediction of behavioral intentions in this study. Subsequent analyses found that perceived benefits, one of two underlying components of the Aact, was a significant determinant of behavioral intentions. The perceived risk component did not contribute substantially to the prediction of the behavioral intentions. A two-step threshold assumption regarding benefit versus risk was supported. Concerns about liability resulting from landfill recreation reclamation, potential funding, the need of landfill end use preplanning, and end-use regulation were also discussed.
