Perspectives on Environment and Waste Management Initiatives in Barangay Pili, Mogpog: Basis for Local Strategic Management Framework

Abstract

This research study aimed to explore the resident perspectives on environment and waste management initiatives in Barangay Pili, Mogpog, and their implications for the development of an effective strategic management framework. A survey-based approach was employed to gather data from 121 residents of the barangay. The survey included questions related to satisfaction levels regarding various aspects of the government’s Environment and Waste Management Program. The results indicated that residents expressed a generally high level of satisfaction with pollution control programs and the practice of waste segregation and other programs. However, the practice of waste collection received a slightly lower level of satisfaction. These findings have connotations for the formulation of an effective local strategic management framework. The high satisfaction levels in pollution control and waste segregation highlight the success of these initiatives and emphasize the need to continue and expand such efforts. However, the moderate satisfaction levels in other areas indicate areas of improvement and the need for further engagement with residents. To enhance effective local strategic management, policymakers and stakeholders should consider increasing community involvement and participation in decision-making processes related to environment and waste management initiatives. This can be achieved by consolidating actions into a strategic management framework that includes promoting awareness campaigns, organizing educational programs, and encouraging collaboration between residents and local authorities. The research findings provide valuable insights which can guide future policy formulation and implementation. However, it is recommended to conduct further research to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying factors influencing resident perspectives.
