Abstract

Improper collection and disposal of municipal wastes has led to different levels of environmental challenges such as blockade of sewers, drain networks and the choking of water bodies. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised of 364,666. The researcher used simple random sampling random technique to select 200 respondents in the targeted communities. The questionnaire used to collect information from the respondents was tagged Community Perception on Waste Management Practice Instrument (CPWMPI). The instrument was validated by the experts in the Department of Adult and Primary Education, University of Ilorin to ensure face, content and construct validity. To ascertain the reliability of the instrument, the questionnaire was administered to fifty respondents twice. The data collected were analyzed with the Person Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) tool, a co-efficient value of 0.89 was obtained. Inferential statistics was used to analyzed the research question while the hypotheses were analyzed with t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the perception of residents on waste management practices based on gender (t {198} = 2.643, p<0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in the perception of residents on waste management practices based on marital status (t{198} = 0.837, p>0.05), there was no significant difference in the perception of residents on waste management practices based on education (F {2, 197} = 1.592, p>0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in the perception of residents on waste management practices based on religions (t{198} = 1.427, p>0.05)It was recommended in the study that there should be public enlightenment among the residents and urban dwellers on proper solid waste practices, management and disposal.

尼日利亚夸拉州伊洛林市社区对废物管理做法的看法评估
城市垃圾的不当收集和处置导致了不同程度的环境挑战,如下水道、排水网络堵塞和水体窒息。本研究采用了描述性调查研究设计。研究人员采用简单随机抽样技术,在目标社区中抽取了 200 名受访者。用于收集受访者信息的调查问卷名为 "社区对废物管理实践的看法问卷(CPWMPI)"。伊洛林大学成人教育和初等教育系的专家对该问卷进行了验证,以确保问卷的面效度、内容效度和结构效度。为确定问卷的可靠性,对 50 名受访者进行了两次问卷调查。使用人积矩相关(PPMC)工具对收集到的数据进行了分析,得出的相关系数为 0.89。在分析研究问题时使用了推断统计法,而在分析假设时则使用了 t 检验和方差分析(ANOVA)。结果表明,居民对废物管理做法的看法因性别而异,差异有统计学意义(t {198} = 2.643,p0.05);居民对废物管理做法的看法因教育程度而异,差异无统计学意义(F {2, 197} = 1.592,p>0.05);居民对废物管理做法的看法因教育程度而异,差异无统计学意义(F {2, 197} = 1.592,p>0.05)。研究建议,应向居民和城市居民宣传正确的固体废物处理、管理和处置方法。
