| 总结: | The approaches of motivating people for the collection of electronic waste (e-waste) are
often insufficient due to inadequate methods of given incentives. Prior research studies have been
carried out to tackle the issue of e-waste management in a broad sense. The findings of those studies
indicated diverse strategies, each of which is relevant solely to a restricted range of electronic e-waste
reprocessing circumstances. The current study has presented a proposed technique for incentivizing
tasks and activities associated with the collection of e-waste through the adoption of the vector
space technique. The method this research undertakes lies with utilizing blockchain smart contract
technology. The reason for selecting this approach lies with the mapping of tasks, the nature of
activities, and their magnitude, in order to derived an incentive. While the vector space model
defines the set of tasks with their corresponding incentives, blockchain smart contract maps them
together and establishes them in a record. Experimental scenarios for the calculation of incentives
are presented; the findings reveal that among many scenarios of allocating incentives for e-waste
collection, the best case is by utilizing a weighting scale scheme where each task and activity is
mapped to its associated incentive rather than providing fixed incentive values. Ethereum was used
as a digital token for each unit of incentive. This concept has contributed in encouraging personal
accountability in the management of e-waste collection in order to cultivate sustainable behaviors for
a long-term solution. |
