Abstract Introduction
Waste is nothing but worthless object or substance, most often the result of human activities. Indian is facing a growing waste management crisis due to rapid urbanization and increase of waste generation. The current rate of solid waste generation in India stands at 0.34 kg per person per day. Waste segregation at source, particularly at the household level, is an integral component of sustainable solid waste management, which is a critical public health issue. The agenda for Sustainable Development Goal [SDG] 2030, is "peace and prosperity for people and the planet" while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. Totally there are 17 SDGs of them. SDG 6, 11 and 12 are related directly or indirectly to waste generation and management.
Aim
To evaluate the effectiveness of a STP in improving the knowledge and practice of household waste segregation among women residing in Panchgani.
Material and method
A mixed research design was used with 100 participants for STP and 19 for Focused Group Discussion (FGD). A semi-structured questionnaire with15 knowledge and 10 practice items (r=0.9) was administered. Data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, SD, chi-square.
Result
Mean knowledge score increased from 11.08 to 13.86, and practice score improved from 5.8 to 9.19 (p<0.0001). Women in the FGD reported knowing about importance of segregating dry and wet waste and viewed it as a shared responsibility and are practicing it regularly to protect and prevent harm to the waste collectors.
Conclusion
The findings of the study conclude that the STP effectively improved the women’s knowledge and practice of household waste segregation. The observed improvements were statistically significant, confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention.
