ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT MODEL OF WAT POM WICHIAN CHOTIKARAM CREMATORIUM SAMUT SAKHON PROVINCE

บทคัดย่อ

This research aims to (1) study the waste management from activities of the crematorium at Wat Pom Wichian Chotikaram, Samut Sakhon Province, (2) apply the 5S principles and 7 Sappayas in zero waste management, and (3) propose a zero waste management model for the crematorium using qualitative research methods, collecting data from observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The research results found that:

1. The waste management of the crematorium at Wat Pom Wichian Chotikaram is systematic, especially in funerals that often generate a large amount of waste, such as wreaths, plastics, and food scraps. The temple has separated waste and improved the crematorium from the original system to an electric stove to reduce smoke, odor, and air pollution.
2. The application of the 5S principles and 7 Sappayas combined with the 5R concept: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Repair helps reduce waste at the source, promotes the use of alternative wreaths, and results in an environmentally friendly funeral arrangement.
3. The zero waste management model of the temple is implemented under the concept of “5RAP” with participation from the host community and government agencies, along with promoting sustainable environmental learning and awareness. This model helps reduce the amount of waste and can be applied as a model for expansion to other areas as appropriate.
