This paper reports the analysis of six urban contexts in which a practical tool measuring individual skills concerning household waste recycling was tested. The tool is a structured questionnaire including a simulation task that assesses respondents’ abilities to sort household waste adequately in a given context/municipality. Results indicate that the questionnaire can reach good levels of internal coherence and discrimination capacity and it can be administered together with a set of open ended and closed questions to assess relationships with other relevant factors. Both the theoretical and applicative potentials of the instrument to educational and communicational domains are discussed.

Abstract
This paper reports the analysis of six urban contexts in which a practical tool measuring individual skills concerning household waste recycling was tested. The tool is a structured questionnaire including a simulation task that assesses respondents’ abilities to sort household waste adequately in a given context/municipality. Results indicate that the questionnaire can reach good levels of internal coherence and discrimination capacity and it can be administered together with a set of open ended and closed questions to assess relationships with other relevant factors. Both the theoretical and applicative potentials of the instrument to educational and communicational domains are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
