Abstract

Waste management has emerged as a critical environmental issue, particularly in rural areas where population growth and changing consumption patterns have led to increased waste generation. This research focuses on the implementation of community-based waste management in villages, aiming to understand its impact on environmental health and the factors influencing program success. Utilizing a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional research design, the study surveyed 4,345 family heads, with a sample size of 98 participants.The findings revealed that 54.1% of respondents did not engage in waste management activities. Among these non-participants, 70.4% had low educational attainment (elementary or junior high school). Additionally, 53.1% cited a lack of infrastructure as a barrier to participation, while 64.3% reported poor knowledge of waste management practices.The results indicated that infrastructure availability significantly influences community participation, with a p-value of 0.006 and an odds ratio (OR) of 3.911. Furthermore, knowledge levels were crucial; those with inadequate knowledge were less likely to participate (69.2% did not engage), whereas those with good knowledge showed higher participation rates (63%).Effective waste management is essential for improving environmental health by reducing pollution and disease risks. Therefore, enhancing education and infrastructure is vital to encourage community involvement in waste management initiatives. This study underscores the importance of addressing knowledge gaps and infrastructural challenges to foster sustainable waste management practices in rural communities.

Abstract

A World Health Organization (WHO) report highlights that non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, accounted for approximately 71% of all deaths globally by 2020. This research focuses on enhancing the capacity of health administration in managing community nutrition education programs to mitigate disease risk in vulnerable populations. Utilizing quantitative methods, the study employs t-tests to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education counseling before and after implementation.The sample comprised 27 individuals selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis revealed a notable increase in students' understanding of environmental sanitation, rising from 79.3% in the pretest to 85.93% in the posttest. Additionally, health workers exhibited a 20% improvement in knowledge regarding environmental diseases following program implementation. Compliance with sanitation and hygiene policies increased by 22%, indicating successful enforcement of stricter sanitation measures aimed at reducing environmental disease risks.Moreover, significant improvements were observed in water quality monitoring (25%) and routine training (28%), demonstrating the program's effectiveness in strengthening administrative systems to minimize disease risks. This study underscores that enhancing health administration capacity and community nutrition education through counseling and regular training effectively reduces environment-based disease risks. Ongoing education and consistent monitoring of the program’s long-term impact are essential for sustainability. Ultimately, this program serves as a promising model for future environmental health prevention efforts, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and education in combating NCDs.
