Abstract: • Mapping Citizens' Waste Sorting Behavior through Socio-Ecological Framework. • Compared Socio-Ecological Framework and TPB while addressing HSWSB. • Adapting HSW sorting policies of Tier-1 in Tier-2 cities can be a challenge. • Community's role is important for expecting behavioral change in society. • Ecological Literacy and public understanding of science can help to promote HSWSB. China is facing the dual challenge of economic development and environment protection. Recently, Shanghai (tier-1 city) implemented the pilot project of household solid waste (HSW) management and expects to execute a similar project in 45 cities across China by 2020. The current research's aim is to examine the pilot project's progress by comparing it with existing HSW management practice in other cities. From a theoretical perspective, a socio-ecological framework is used to examine citizens' HSW sorting behavior (HSWSB), which is further mapped based on the theory of planned behavior to enrich the findings. A total of 1409 citizen responses are utilized to generalize the findings. The study concludes that replicating tier-1 practices in other cities could produce unsatisfactory results. The regulatory environment should focus on comparatively long-lasting citizen behavior change by designing a citizen-centric approach (i.e., awareness campaigns) related to ecological concerns (i.e., climate change) because it could define the future of HSWSB practice in Chinese society.
