AB  - Waste classification is regarded as one of the most important strategies for 
      waste management, and its success depends on the active participation of the 
      public. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and 
      attitude-behavior-condition (A-B-C) theory, this research investigated the key 
      factors affecting residents' domestic waste classification intention (WCI) and 
      waste classification behavior (WCB), and explored the moderating effects of three 
      external factors including infrastructure (INF), government publicity (GP), and 
      incentive measures (IM) on the intention-behavior relationship. The valid data 
      were collected from 584 residents via conducting a face-to-face interview in 
      Chengdu, a pilot city of waste classification in China, and analyzed by using the 
      structural equation model (SEM). Results showed that residents' WCI and WCB had a 
      significant discrepancy with the average values of 4.07 and 2.81, respectively. 
      Attitude (AT), perceived behavior control (PBC) and classification knowledge (CK) 
      were significantly related to residents' WCI, with AT (beta = 0.65, P < 0.001) 
      having the greatest direct impact. Meanwhile, CK and INF had a stronger impact on 
      the WCB than WCI. GP indirectly affected WCB through the intermediary effect of 
      CK. In addition, INF and GP had a positively moderating effect on residents' 
      waste classification intention-behavior relationship and can facilitate the 
      intention-behavior conversion. By contrast, IM failed to promote the conversion 
      of residents' classification intention into behavior, and had no direct 
      significant influence on residents' WCB. Finally, some relevant policy 
      suggestions were put forward for the new pilot cities of waste classification in 
      China.
