摘要

尽管尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹的非正式废物收集者积极参与废物管理,但这组工人有效运作的一个主要挑战是一年中的季节变化及其伴随的天气未来。这项研究调查了季节变化对伊巴丹五个城市地方政府地区非正规废物收集者处理的废物种类和数量、赞助水平和收入的影响。采用了横断面调查方法,并获得了第一手和第二手数据。通过问卷调查和实地观察,收集了研究地区253名非正式废物收集者的数据。描述性统计(频率和百分比)和推理统计(方差分析)用于分析从实地工作中获得的数据。这项研究确定,收集的废物种类和数量以及非正式废物收集者的收入因季节而异。由于产生的废物量减少和燃烧增加,发现在旱季,非正式废物收集商的光顾减少了约25%。低赞助使收入平均减少了约25%。这意味着iwc的工作保障受到威胁,废物燃烧的增加增加了大气中的碳含量,这消耗了臭氧层,从而导致全球变暖。因此,研究建议政府或非政府机构向废物收集商提供财政和技术援助,以建立小型废物售卖业务,以应付顾客少的时期。

Effects of Seasonal Variation on Informal Waste Collection in Ibadan, South-west Nigeria
Despite the active participation of informal waste collectors (IWCs) in waste management in Ibadan, south-west Nigeria, a major observed challenge to effective operation of this group of workers is the variation in the seasons of the year and their accompanying weather futures. This study investigated the effects of seasonal changes on the types and volume of waste handled by the informal waste collectors, level of patronage and income earned in the five municipal local government areas of Ibadan. A cross-sectional survey approach was adopted and both primary and secondary data were sourced. Through questionnaire survey and field observations, data were collected from 253 informal waste collectors operating in the study area. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) and inferential statistics (ANOVA) were used in analysing the data obtained from the field work. The study established that the types and volume of waste collected and income earned by the informal waste collectors varied from season to season. Patronage of the informal waste collectors was found to be reduced by about 25% in the dry season owing to less volume of waste generated and increased burning. The low patronage reduced the income by about 25% on average. The implications of this are that the job security of IWCs is threatened and increased burning of waste increases the atmospheric carbon content, which depletes the ozone layer and consequently results in global warming. The study, therefore, recommended financial and technical assistance to the waste collectors by either government or non-governmental organisations to establish small waste merchandising business to cater for the period of low patronage.
