Aiming to help municipalities develop effective education and outreach campaigns to reduce stormwater pollutants, such as pet waste, this study applied the Health Belief Model (HBM) to identify perceptions of dog waste and corresponding collection behaviors from dog owners living in a small U.S. city. Results of 455 online survey responses strongly...

... The authors propose modifying the HBM to predict dog waste collection behaviors with the following hypothesis (see Figure 2 for predicted relationships). Hypotheses are divided into two categories based on locations where pet waste is most often left according to Pullman city staff, street (A), which includes downtown and residential sidewalks, and trail (B), which includes paved greenway trails. ...

... goals affect the interests of smaller groups with different interests: dog owners and other city dwellers who are not related to the owners(Guinness et al., 2020). At the same time, goals can be both utilitarian and healthful(Brown & Jensen, 2020;O'Neal et al., 2020), psychological (McConnell et al., 2019Wenden et al., 2021), educational(Eli & Changmin, 2014), the communicative(Douglas et al., 1991) aspect of social interactions. ...
... The bulk of scientific publications is devoted to sociological or psychological studies of issues related to how animal owners and city dwellers who do not have dogs relate to compliance with sanitary standards [7,8,9]; questions of helminth infestation of professional training grounds for service dogs at dog training centers, methods of processing such sites [10]. There are studies that study the influence of dogs on the motor activity of their owners, and related changes in the state of human health [10,11]; on the socio-psychological comfort, which is provided by the presence of a dog: in the family, in the community of dog owners, in making new contacts, in fostering responsibility and empathy in children [12]; help dogs in providing assistance to people with disabilities, in rehabilitation after certain diseases through the necessary walks [13;14]. ...
В экосистеме "человек – домашний питомец – городская среда" одним из основных нерешенных вопросов не только на примере Красноярска, но и в масштабах страны, остается задача наполнения пространства комфортной городской среды зонами свободного выгула собак. Вовлеченность в эту проблему большого количества субъектов взаимодействия требует принятия консолидированных решений, учитывающих интересы всех участников. Проблема обеспечения качества жизни животных при этом так же не должна оставаться в стороне. Для понимания всей глубины и многомерной сложности взаимодействия субъектов на этом поле, в дальнейшем развитии исследования предполагается применение метода анализа системно-параметрической версии системного подхода. Цель статьи – обосновать последующее применение этого метода на основе анализа трех уровней причинности, обозначенных автором метода В.Н. Сагатовским в качестве основополагающих. Краткий обзор показал наличие всех трех условий для этого: необходимость перехода к более активным действиям в решении проблемы, многомерную сложность рассматриваемого вопроса и ее междисциплинарный характер.
... Further communication of relevant education to all dog walkers, both those who live locally and those visiting from further afield, seems prudent. Dog walkers, with the support of local governments, have readily adopted protocols to remove dog faeces from public open space, based on human health and aesthetic concerns (Typhina and Yan 2014;Wright et al. 2009). The improvements in waste removal behaviour by owners has been enhanced by demographically-targeted education (Wells 2006), regulations and fines, and clear articulation of the problem to be solved (Rahim et al. 2018). ...
Controversy surrounds domestic dog Canis familiaris access to beaches in much of the developed world, where achieving a balance between dog walking and nature conservation, and establishing reasonable compliance with regulations, appear to be highly challenging. We surveyed 434 people who take dogs onto beaches (in coastal central Victoria, Australia), to characterise their use of beaches and attitudes to regulatory controls. Four factors characterised attitudinal dimensions: (1) compliance and support for rules and regulations, (2) perceived dog behaviour and control, (3) rights of dogs and (4) value of dogs compared with wildlife. We hypothesised that residents and non-residents may differ in their attitudes toward dog walking on beaches, and this may also be influenced by their age and sex. Attitudes were broadly similar although slight differences were apparent: residents aged 35–49 years were less supportive of rules and regulations, those aged 18–24 years agreed more strongly that leashing effectively controlled dogs. Males, regardless of their age or residency status, expressed stronger beliefs that dogs were more important than wildlife. This study reveals complex demographic correlates with attitudes to dog walking on beaches, which reveals key stakeholder groups for awareness and education activities.
... The peer-reviewed literature has a relatively limited number of non-structural BMPs examples that attempt to influence the awareness, knowledge and behaviours of specific audiences. Relevant studies have focused on identifying public perceptions of stormwater management issues (Giacalone et al., 2010;Typhina and Yan, 2014), on engaging households in stormwater sensitive lawn-care (Dietz et al., 2004;Eisenhauer et al., 2016), and in rainwater tank installation to reduce run-off (Brown et al., 2016). Outcome measurements from these studies were typically audience participation measures, while Dietz et al. (2004) measured self-reported behaviour change by the target audience, as well as changes in stormwater quality. ...
The evidence base for the performance and effectiveness of non-structural measures to manage stormwater pollution in industrial areas is relatively underdeveloped, despite their increased use in practice. This study aims to advance stormwater management practice and research by presenting a detailed case study of the development, implementation and evaluation of a targeted behaviour change trial that engaged small to medium industrial businesses in stormwater pollution prevention. Utilising a combination of different behaviour change strategies - including capacity building, social norms and commitment - a number of preventative stormwater pollution behaviours were changed in participating businesses. Our study provides a practice model for tackling stormwater pollution from a behavioural perspective that can be further developed by both practitioners and researchers to create effective and long-lasting change.
