چکیده

اصلاح الگوی مصرف آب در مصارف خانگی نقش بسیار پررنگ و مهمی در مدیریت مصرف آب شهری دارد. با ترویج رفتارهای صرفه‌جویانه می‌توان سرانه مصرف آب در بخش خانگی را کاهش داد. هدف از این پژوهش، ارزیابی و اولویت‌بندی انواع مختلف مصارف خانگی آب جهت اصلاح الگوی مصرف آب در شهر مشهد است. بدین منظور، تشابه رفتارهای مصرفی در مصارف خانگی مختلف آب با استفاده از روش تحلیل عاملی تأییدی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت که نتیجه آن، حاکی از عدم تشابه رفتارهای مصرفی افراد در مصارف خانگی مختلف از نظر صحیح یا ناصحیح بودن رفتارهای مصرفی بود. سپس، مصارف آب خانگی مختلف با توجه به معیارهای متوسط حجم مصرف آب و نسبت رفتارهای مصرفی ناصحیح اولویت‌بندی گردیدند. بر اساس نتایج بدست آمده، مصارف آب استحمام، دستشویی و توالت به ترتیب بالاترین اولویت‌ها را به خود اختصاص دادند و مصارف مسواک زدن، ظرف‌شویی، ماشین لباس‌شویی و شستن خودرو در اولویت‌های بعدی قرار گرفتند.

چکیده [English]

Modifying the pattern of water consumption in household uses has a prominent and important role in the management of urban water consumption. By promoting frugal behaviors, per capita water consumption in the domestic sector can be reduced to an acceptable level. The purpose of this research is to evaluation and prioritize different types of household water consumption in order to improve the consumption pattern in Mashhad city. For this purpose, the similarity of consumption behaviors in different household uses of water were investigated using the confirmatory factor analysis method, the result of which indicated the lack of similarity in consumption behaviors of people in different household uses in terms of whether the consumption behaviors are correct or incorrect. Then, different household uses were prioritized according to the average criteria of the volume of water consumption and the proportion of incorrect consumption behaviors. Based on the results, the use of water for bathing, washing, and toilet were assigned the highest priorities, and the use of brushing teeth, washing dishes, washing machine, and car washing were placed in the next priorities.
