| Abstract: | Growing sustainability awareness is driving changes in educational institutions like the University of Twente. Reducing waste on campus is one of the main goals, and the first step is to make sure the university community recycles waste effectively. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to develop a recycling intervention to educate the UT community about waste separation. Comprehensive research was done to examine the potential for behavior change and to understand the factors and barriers to recycling behavior. In order to positively impact waste separation behavior and educate the users about correct waste separation, an Interactive Arcade-style Installation with a post-apocalyptic theme and two mini-games was created as a potential solution. The Installation's effectiveness was tested with the UT community. The game successfully promoted waste separation education while engaging players, creating social interaction, and fostering a playful atmosphere. Feedback identified several areas for improvement, including better directions, more educational content, and fixing technical issues. Implementing these recommendations would enhance the game, resulting in a more memorable and captivating experience that educates and promotes recycling habits. An interactive arcade-style installation can effectively educate and motivate UT community members about waste separation. |
