Abstract:
The purpose of this survey research was to investigate the food waste in household and it’s affecting factors. The statistical population of the study consisted of all households in Central district of Najaf Abad County that based on Bartlett and colleagues’ table for determining sample size, 405 households were selected as a research sample and were chosen by stratified proportionate random sampling technique. In each sample household, a person between the ages of 15 to 64 who was responsible for at least half of cooking, shopping and managing the home was involved in the research process. The data collection instrument was a researcher's developed questionnaire whose face validity was confirmed by a panel of experts and the reliability of the questionnaire was also evaluated by conducting a pilot test study and calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.60-0.79). The results of cluster analysis showed that the studied households were separated into three different clusters, the throwaway people, households with moderate food waste, and saved people. Moreover, the results of hierarchical regression analysis show

The results of cluster analysis showed that the studied households were separated into three different clusters, the throwaway people, households with moderate food waste, and saved people. Moreover, the results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that the awareness construct had incremental effect and social norm, attitudes toward food waste, knowledge of waste reduction, skills to manage food consumption, existence of infrastructure, and having a time schedule had decreasing effects on household food waste behavior. In total, these constructs explained 25% of variations in variance of household food waste behavior.
