英文摘要	Despite the insufficiency of accessible energy along with a steady increase in energy consumption in the least developed countries, there are still limited numbers of studies on residential energy-saving behaviors and its determinants in such countries. Hence, this study investigates the determinants of urban residents’ energy-saving behaviors in Myanmar. Specifically, this study has attempted to investigate the effects of knowledge about energy issues, degree of concern, perceived energy-saving control, and sense of responsibility on energy-saving behaviors of urban residents in Myanmar. This study is empirically tested via multiple regression, using survey data collected from urban residents of Myanmar (n = 200). Results show that knowledge about energy issues, degree of concern, perceived energy-saving control, and sense of responsibility positively and significantly influence energy-saving behaviors. Among four determinants, the degree of concern has the most significant impact on urban residents’ energy-saving behaviors. Being the first empirical study that has explored the determinants of urban resident's energy-saving behaviors in Myanmar, this study makes good recommendations for Myanmar policymakers in formulating and implementing energy-saving and environmental protection policies. Furthermore, this study intends to serve as a reference to stakeholders who are involved in enhancing energy-saving behaviors in the least developed countries like Myanmar. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
