WASTE MANAGEMENT IN BANGKOK: A CASE STUDY IN BANG KHEN DISTRICT

Abstract

This research aims to study the waste management process in the Bang Khen area of Bangkok, focusing on factors that influence waste management in the area, such as gender, age, education, occupation, and length of residence. It also examines public participation in waste management in the community, particularly waste segregation at the source and effective waste management training. The findings show that waste management in the Bang Khen area is supported by government initiatives through various projects, such as promoting waste segregation, managing waste in the community, and providing training to the public. These efforts aim to raise awareness and encourage participation in reducing waste in the community. The use of online media to disseminate information about waste segregation and proper waste management methods plays a crucial role in increasing public involvement and building understanding of recycling practices and sustainable waste management. These efforts contribute to the development of the community and the long-term preservation of the environment.
