摘要

一段时间以来,津巴布韦政府一直面临着废物管理资源不足的压力,这主要是由于城市的扩张。该研究探讨了哈拉雷高密度郊区Hatcliffe Extension的家庭废物管理,并试图确定妇女主导的家庭固体废物管理处理系统。这项研究的目的是探讨妇女在面对垃圾收集服务不力的情况下对固体废物管理的经验。本研究采用质性研究方法,从方便抽样的参与者中收集资料。深入访谈和观察是收集数据的手段。该研究借鉴了理性选择理论,以理解人类行为与人们对固体废物管理和环境中适当和可持续实践的选择有关。该研究显示,教育和知识的缺乏以及主管部门垃圾收集不力,导致了纸张、纸尿裤和塑料包装等各种废物的处置,从而增加了该地区的固体废物产生量。哈特克利夫延伸区主要的家庭固体废物管理处理系统包括非法倾倒、露天焚烧和掩埋废物。总体而言,由于哈拉雷市议会(负责固体废物管理的当局)缺乏收集服务,Hartcliffe Extension的居民采用了不适当的固体废物处理系统。该研究还确定了管理不善的固体废物对环境构成威胁的各种方式。该研究建议,对居民进行对人类和环境都不构成威胁的生态友好型垃圾处理教育。

Women and Solid Waste Management in High-density Areas: The Case of Hatcliffe, Harare, Zimbabwe
The Zimbabwean government has for a while been reeling under pressure from inadequate resources for waste management mainly due to the expansion of its cities. The study explored household waste management in Hatcliffe Extension, a high-density suburb in Harare, and sought to identify dominant household solid waste management disposal systems by women. The study aim was to explore women’s experiences of solid waste management in the face of poor service delivery in refuse collection. Qualitative research methodology was employed to collect data in the study from conveniently sampled participants. In-depth interviews and observations were the instruments utilised for data collection. The study draws from the Rational Choice Theory to understand human behaviour in relation to people’s choices on suitable and sustainable practices in solid waste management and the environment. The study reveals lack of education and knowledge and poor refuse collection by responsible authorities as driving the disposal of diverse waste materials such as paper, diapers and plastic packages, which have heightened solid waste generation in the area. Dominant household solid waste management disposal systems in Hartcliffe Extension include illegal dumping, open burning, and burying of the waste materials. Overall, Hartcliffe Extension residents practise improper solid waste disposal systems due to lack of collection services from the Harare city council, which is the authority responsible for solid waste management. The study also established various ways in which poorly managed solid waste poses a threat to the environment. The study recommends the education of residents on eco-friendly waste disposal measures that do not pose a threat either to both human beings or the environment.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
