Abstract

Waste prevention and management especially in Africa has for decades posited serious environmental challenges such as water, land and air pollution. This research seeks to address a scenario of profiling waste types and design intervention stimulating behavioral change and designs solid municipal waste prevention programme with limited economic resources in mind to arrive at the maximum environmental impact prevention within the municipal solid waste life cycle. A methodology employing cross-sectional and multi-stage simple random sampling technique was proposed. Data was collected by use of structured questionnaire. Classical statistical analyses were processed using SPSS19.0 software. The proposed method was helpful profiling households' attitude and measures that should be prioritized as high environmental impact. The impact of online and distance learning programme on the behavioral and municipal waste generation and prevention was profiled. Result indicated that online and distance learning programmes enhance households' knowledge of waste prevention and management.

通过在线和远程学习方法优先考虑和优化城市固体废物预防和管理的可持续措施

几十年来，废物预防和管理，特别是在非洲，带来了水、土地和空气污染等严重的环境挑战。本研究旨在解决分析废物类型和设计干预刺激行为变化的场景，并在考虑到有限经济资源的情况下设计固体城市废物预防计划，以在城市固体废物生命周期内实现最大限度的环境影响预防。提出了一种采用截面和多阶段简单随机抽样技术的方法。数据收集采用结构化问卷。采用SPSS19.0软件进行经典统计分析。所提出的方法有助于分析家庭的态度和措施，这些态度和措施应作为高环境影响的优先事项。介绍了在线和远程学习计划对行为和城市垃圾产生和预防的影响。结果表明，在线和远程学习方案提高了家庭对废物预防和管理的知识。
