Abstract
Household waste generation is a critical problem in Thailand. Effective solutions for resolving the household waste problem need to include improving behaviors vis-à-vis reducing, reusing, and recycling. This study was aimed to determine the factors that influence appropriate household waste management in Thailand. Data were collected between January and November 2018 using a structured questionnaire. The proportion of appropriately household waste management was reported as a percentage with its 95% confidence interval (CI). A Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was used to identify the factors influenced with appropriate household waste management. The proportion of appropriate household waste was only 6.73% (95% CI: 5.04 to 8.78). The results indicate that household waste management was significantly influenced by the respondent’s status, the type of recycling waste buyback vehicle, and appropriate behavior in household waste disposal. Based on the findings, Thailand’s government should support a new policy for increasing appropriate household waste management by promoting a recyclables buyback and collection vehicle for each community. © 2021, Khon Kaen University,Research and Technology Transfer Affairs Division.
