Abstract

The increasing volume of waste generated in urban areas poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based waste management education program implemented in Kebakkramat District. The primary objective is to enhance environmental awareness among residents, thereby fostering responsible waste management practices. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to assess community engagement and knowledge retention. Data collected from 200 households indicated a 40% increase in awareness about waste segregation and recycling practices post-implementation. Additionally, qualitative feedback highlighted a shift in community attitudes towards waste management as a shared responsibility. The findings suggest that community involvement is crucial for the success of environmental initiatives. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting education as a vital tool for enhancing environmental awareness and promoting sustainable practices at the community level.
