摘要

目的:社区参与固体废物管理目前被视为固体废物管理成功的一个决定因素。在废物管理被视为地方当局的责任,而社区却无动于衷的地区,固体废物管理失败的情况很常见。研究表明,在大多数非洲国家,公众对固体废物管理的参与很少。本研究旨在分析索尔维齐居民参与固体废物管理的情况。结果是设计更可持续的废物管理战略的基础。方法:采用系统随机抽样方法对77户进行抽样,其中28户来自Kyawama镇,23户来自Stadium镇,26户来自Kandundu镇。采用结构化访谈、关键信息提供者访谈和观察来收集有关废物处理方法、居民对现有固体废物管理服务的看法以及他们为可持续固体废物管理付费的意愿的数据。数据分析采用描述性统计、卡方、Pearson积差相关和内容分析。调查结果:65%的居民认为他们没有参与任何正式的废物管理实践。35%的人承认自己是参与者,他们认为自己是通过垃圾分类、再利用和聘请正式的垃圾收集者来做到这一点的。在索尔韦齐,掩埋废物(44.2%)是主要的废物管理做法,其次是正式的废物收集(35%)和焚烧(19.4%)。,而透过公共垃圾桶弃置的废物则占弃置废物总量的2.6%及1.3%。Solwezi居民参与正规垃圾收集服务的比例非常低,一些居民不知道该镇有这种服务(31.2%)。索尔韦齐社区参与固体废物管理的障碍包括:不了解正规废物收集系统的存在(35%),当地市政委员会没有在居民区或街道上提供垃圾箱(13%),参与正规固体废物管理的成本相对较高,以及缺乏其他更便宜的管理家庭固体废物的方法。大多数居民普遍愿意为可持续固体废物管理付费(57.2%),只有2.6%的人表示他们认为当地市政委员会应该将废物管理视为一项服务,居民不必为其付费。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:总之,索尔韦齐社区对固体废物管理的低参与度归因于市政委员会未能充分提高居民的敏感度。居民对固体废物可持续管理的态度以及社区参与地方当局有关固体废物管理的决策充其量只是象征性的。该研究建议提高社区参与的意识,并鼓励社区废物管理的倡导者,以此作为改善社区参与固体废物管理的一种方式。

Residents’ Participation in Solid Waste Management in Solwezi District, Zambia
Purpose: Community participation in solid waste management is currently seen as a determinant of successful solid waste management. Cases of failed solid waste management are common in areas where the waste management is regarded as a responsibility of local authorities while the community remains indifferent. Research has shown that public participation in solid waste management is marginal in most African countries. The study was aimed at analysing the residents’ participation in solid waste management in Solwezi. Results are cardinal in designing more sustainable waste management strategies. Methodology: It utilized systematic random sampling to sample 77 households of which 28 were from Kyawama Township, 23 from Stadium and 26 were from Kandundu Townships. Structured interviews, key informant interviews and observations were used to collect data on methods of waste disposal, residents’ perceptions of solid waste management services available, and their willingness to pay for sustainable solid waste management. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, chi-square, Pearson product-moment correlation and content analysis. Findings: Results showed that 65 % of the residents felt that they did not participate in any formal waste management practices. The 35 % who admitted to being participants felt they did this through waste separation, reuse and through their engaging a formal waste collector. In Solwezi, burying of waste (44.2 %) was the dominant waste management practice followed by formal waste collection (35 %) and burning (19.4 %)., while informal waste collectors accounted for 2.6 % of waste disposed of and 1.3 % of waste was disposed of through communal rubbish bins. Solwezi had very low participation of the residents in formal waste collection services with some residents not aware of the existence of such a service in the town (31.2 %). Among barriers to community engagement in solid waste management in Solwezi were a lack of knowledge of the existence of formal waste collection systems (35 %), failure by the local municipal council to provide waste bins either in residential areas or streets (13 %), relatively high costs of engaging in formal solid waste management and a lack of alternative cheaper ways of managing domestic solid waste. There was a general willingness by most residents to pay for sustainable solid waste management (57.2 %) with only 2.6 % indicating they felt that the local municipal council should treat waste management as a service that residents do not have to pay for Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: In conclusion, the low community participation in solid waste management in Solwezi was attributed to failure to adequately sensitize residents by the municipal council. Residents’ attitudes towards sustainable management of solid waste and community engagement in decisions related to solid waste management by the local authority was token at best. The study recommended sensitization in community participation as well as incentivizing champions of community waste management as a way of improving community participation in solid waste management.
