Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore implementation
strategies for fostering people’s participation in solid waste management
in Myanmar. To achieve this, an action research employing mixed methods
was conducted in Bagan City, within the twenty months period. Household
attitudes and behavior was collected through questionnaire surveys. In-depth
interview, group discussion, organizational and community meetings and
observation were conducted to address problem situations, explore strategies
to fix the problems and assess the outcomes. The results of the study
showed that the current participatory approach, which mainly focuses on
raising awareness or imparting environmental education, is not adequate
to maximize the people’s participation in Myanmar due to the persistence
of institutional and social constraints. This study discovered that promoting
people’s participation in its ultimate form is more effective when
(1) the municipality develops the knowledge and skills to fulfill the
new role of service partner; (2) the people understand (rather than merely
being aware of the problems) the harmful effects of their behavior and
realize their roles and responsibilities; (3) the people are empowered
with knowledge and skill and (4) motivation and interaction exist among
all parties. |
