This paper reports on the potential to apply the choice experiment method to understand the public’s preferences for solid waste management programmes in Macao. A random sample survey of 260 respondents in Macao was conducted during the summer in 2004. The survey data was analysed using conditional multinomial logit models. The study results indicate that Macao residents prefer: (1) waste segregation and recycling at source; (2) noise reduction during waste collection and transportation and (3) lower garbage fees. The study concludes that choice experiment is a reliable tool in the analysis of respondents’ preferences for developing a suitable solid waste management programme in Macao.

Key Words: Solid waste management • choice experiment • economic valuation • Macao: wmr 834-1
