Abstract：
This study employs a comparative analysis method to examine variations in food waste (FW) generation between developed and developing nations, focusing on income levels, population growth rates, and community engagement in waste management. Quantitative data from Taiwan, Malaysia, and Bangladesh are comprehensively analyzed using regression analysis and descriptive statistics. Results indicate that Taiwan, with its stringent regulatory frameworks and advanced recycling technologies, generates significantly less FW per capita compared to Malaysia and Bangladesh. Malaysia shows moderate levels of FW reduction efforts, supported by varying degrees of community participation, whereas Bangladesh faces challenges with both regulatory enforcement and technological adoption. The study proposes an integrative waste management model emphasizing regulatory compliance rates, community participation metrics, and technology diffusion indices to effectively address FW challenges. These findings underscore the importance of tailored waste management strategies aligned with economic and demographic contexts of developing nations. Policymakers and waste management practitioners can leverage these insights to establish targeted FW reduction goals and enhance recycling initiatives. The research highlights the urgency of integrated waste management approaches to mitigate environmental and public health risks associated with FW mismanagement, advocating for evidence-based policies supported by robust quantitative analysis.
摘要：
本研究采用比较分析方法来检查发达国家和发展中国家之间的食物垃圾（FW）产生的变化，关注收入水平，人口增长率，以及社区参与废物管理。来自台湾的定量数据，马来西亚,使用回归分析和描述性统计对孟加拉国和孟加拉国进行了综合分析。结果表明，台湾，凭借其严格的监管框架和先进的回收技术，与马来西亚和孟加拉国相比，人均产水量明显减少。马来西亚显示出适度的减少FW的努力，在不同程度的社区参与的支持下，而孟加拉国在监管执法和技术采用方面都面临挑战。该研究提出了一种综合废物管理模式，强调监管合规率，社区参与指标，和技术扩散指数，有效应对FW挑战。这些发现强调了与发展中国家的经济和人口背景保持一致的量身定制的废物管理策略的重要性。政策制定者和废物管理从业人员可以利用这些见解来建立有针对性的减少FW的目标并加强回收计划。该研究强调了综合废物管理方法的紧迫性，以减轻与FW管理不善相关的环境和公共卫生风险。倡导强有力的定量分析支持的循证政策。
