The publication presents the possibilities of using selected demographic variables as a source of knowledge to predict the amount of municipal waste. This may be important in the adaptation process of selecting the optimal technology for recycling and waste disposal. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the relationship of selected demographic variables with the generation of municipal waste based on the example of a pilot proprietary survey conducted in the Czech Republic. Advanced statistical methods were used in the pilot study to verify the research hypotheses. The presented research results clearly show that many parameters characterizing socio-demographic factors, such as age, disposable income or type of inhabited real estate, may be of great importance, affecting the amount of municipal waste and the effectiveness of its selective collection. In addition, the use of multivariate statistical analysis based on the CATPCA method made it possible to show in more detail the relationship between the age of the respondent and their approach to waste management.

W publikacji przedstawiono możliwości wykorzystania wybranych zmiennych demograficznych jako źródła wiedzy do prognozowania ilości odpadów komunalnych. Może to mieć znaczenie w procesie adaptacyjnym wyboru optymalnej technologii recyklingu i unieszkodliwiania odpadów. Dlatego też celem badań było określenie związku wybranych zmiennych demograficznych z wytwarzaniem odpadów komunalnych na przykładzie pilotażowego, autorskiego badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego w Czechach. W badaniu pilotażowym wykorzystano zaawansowane metody statystyczne w celu weryfikacji postawionych hipotez badawczych. Zaprezentowane wyniki badań wyraźnie pokazują, że wiele parametrów charakteryzujących czynniki społeczno-demograficzne, takich jak wiek, dochód do dyspozycji czy rodzaj zamieszkałej nieruchomości, może mieć ogromne znaczenie, wpływając na ilość odpadów komunalnych i efektywność ich selektywnej zbiórki. Dodatkowo zastosowanie wieloczynnikowej analizy statystycznej opartej na metodzie CATPCA pozwoliło na bardziej szczegółowe ukazanie zależności pomiędzy wiekiem respondenta a jego podejściem do gospodarki odpadami.
