TÜKETİCİLERİN PLASTİK MARKET POŞETLERİYLE İLGİLİ ALGILARINI ETKİLEYEN FAKTÖRLERİN SENARYO BAZLI DENEY YÖNTEMİYLE İNCELENMESİ

Günümüzde çevreyi korumaya yönelik uygulamalar ve sürdürülebilirlik kavramı giderek artan bir öneme sahiptir. Birçok ülke plastik atıkları azaltmada yeni uygulamaları yürürlüğe sokmakta, bu bağlamda 1 Ocak 2019 tarihinden itibaren Türkiye’de de plastik poşetler 25 kuruşa satılmaya başlanmıştır. Satılan plastik poşetlerin yasalarla düzenlenen belirli minimum sınırları olmasına karşın poşetin dayanıklılığı, üzerinde marketin logosunun olup olmaması ve poşetin doğada yüzde yüz çözünüp çözünememesi konuları farklılık göstermektedir. Literatürde çevresel sürdürülebilirlik bağlamında birçok araştırma yer alsa da özellikle parayla satılan poşetlere tüketicilerin tepkisi konusunda araştırmalar yeterli değildir. Bu çalışmada senaryo bazlı deney yönteminden yararlanılarak tüketicilerin plastik poşetlerin çeşidine göre davranışları incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar tüketicilerin aldıkları poşet kalınsa üzerinde market logosunun olup olmamasının tüketicilerin tatminleri ve alışveriş niyeti üzerinde çok farkı yokken, inceyse market logosunun olmamasının tüketicilerin tatminlerini ve alışveriş niyetlerini artırdığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca poşetler doğada yüzde yüz çözünemiyorsa üzerinde market logosunun olup olmamasının tüketicilerin alışveriş niyeti üzerinde çok farkı yokken poşetler doğada yüzde yüz çözünebiliyorsa üzerinde market logosu olmaması tüketicilerin alışveriş niyetini artırmaktadır.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING CONSUMERS' PERCEPTIONS ABOUT PLASTIC MARKET BAGS BY SCENARIO-BASED EXPERIMENTAL METHOD

Today, environmental protection practices and the concept of sustainability are of increasing importance. Many countries in reducing plastic waste being enacted new applications, in this context since 1 January 2019 markets in Turkey has begun to sell plastic bags for 25 cents. Although the plastic bags have certain minimum limits regulated by law, the durability of the bags, whether they have the logo of the market and whether or not the bag is completely soluble in nature differ. Although there are many studies in the literature in the context of environmental sustainability, researches about consumer reaction to plastic bags that are sold are not sufficient. In this study, the behavior of consumers according to the type of plastic bags is examined by using scenario based experiment method. The results show that if the bag is thick, whether the market has logo on the bag or not cause no big difference on the satisfaction and shopping intention of the consumers, whereas the lack of the market logo increases the satisfaction and shopping intention of the consumers if the bag is thin. In addition, if the bags are not 100% biosoluble, whether the market has logo on the bag or not cause no big difference on shopping intention of the consumers, whereas the lack of the market logo increases the shopping intention of the consumers if the bag is 100% biosoluble.
