Community Waste Management for Sustainable Environmental Development. Bannon Somboon, Nongtat Subdistrict, Mueang District, Buriram Province

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the level of participation towards MSW management, 2) to study the correlation coefficients between MSW management variables, and 3) to study and analyze the confirmatory components of MSW management characteristics indicators. The sample consisted of 300 residents of Ban Non Somboon, drawn by multiple random sampling procedures.The tools used in this research are The questionnaire was a 5-point estimating scale, 3 parts. Data were analyzed using basic statistics. Correlation coefficient analysis was used. Confirmatory components and structural equation models. Model fitting using JASP statistics software v.0.16.4.0. The results showed that

1. The overall level of participation in community waste management was at a high level.
2. Pearson's correlation coefficient passed the criteria with discriminant power ranged from 0.372 to 0.986, KMO value was 0.927, there was a positive correlation suitable for elemental analysis.
3. Confirmatory analysis of factors affecting 3 factors, 28 indicators. Factors affecting the characteristics of municipal waste management were structurally correct and consistent with empirical data. By considering all the index values ​​that passed the criteria, = 1738.627, df = 489, P-value = 0.000, GFI = 0.882, AGFI = 0.951, RMSEA = 0.033, SRMR = 0.052 and /df) = 3.55.
