ABSTRACT
The paper focuses on the experiment in the town of Hlohovec in which a behaviour-oriented approach is used. The intention is to show that it is possible to solve a dog fouling problem with nudges that are meaningful, low-cost and easy to implement using the behavioural approach. Two interventions are implemented: a pink spray and yellow footprints. The results show that the implementation of the interventions led to a significant reduction in dog faeces left on the ground in a town park. The data show that our results are comparable with other experiments conducted in different countries, can be easily replicated and increase the efficiency of local public policy.
Key words: Dog fouling, Dog walkers. Interventions. Public areas.
