The survey research sample consisted of 294 households aged 12 years and older, out of a population of 2,195 households. The instrument was tested on a sample of 30 individuals, with a reliability coefficient of 0.804-0.902. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and correlation analysis, using Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient, with a statistical significance level of 0.05.
Results: 1) 52.70% of the sample were female, with an average age of 35-48 years (42.51%) and occupations of agriculture (50.68%). The highest level of education was obtained. Primary education or lower (49.30%), length of stay 35-48 years (42.52%), average monthly income not more than 10,000 baht (85.03%), number of household members 4 people (42.86%). Knowledge of waste disposal was at a high level (67.69%), participation in waste separation was at a high level (74.83%), attitude was at a good level (94.56%), and awareness of waste management news received the news regularly (79.93%). Waste disposal behavior was at a regular level (91.50%). Personal factors related to waste disposal behavior were gender with statistical significance (x2 = 1.89, p = 0.04), age was statistically significant (x2 = 5.87, p = 0.01), and the relationship between behavior and knowledge was at a high level with statistical significance (r = 0.857, p = 0.021). The relationship between participation and waste disposal was very high (r = 1.00, p = 0.005). The relationship between attitude and waste disposal behavior was very high (r = 1.000, p = 0.001). The relationship between information perception and waste disposal behavior was very high (r = 1.000, p = 0.002). The research results indicate that knowledge, participation, attitudes, and information perception are important factors related to household waste management behavior.
