Item Comparative Study of Solid Waste Management in Chitwan Hospital and Bharatpur Hospital of Chitwan District(Faculty of Rural Development, 2017) Mahato, GitaThis study is entitled “Comparative study of solid waste management in Chitwan hospital and Bharatpur Hospital of Chitwan District ''. This research is a descriptive type. This study is mainly based on primary data as well as secondary data. Out of total respondents 80 respondents were selected randomly. Solid-waste management is associated with controlling the generation, storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing, and disposal of solid waste in a manner that is in accordance with the best principles of health, economics, engineering, conservation, aesthetics, and other environmental considerations, and that is also responsive to public attitudes. In its scope, solid-waste management includes all administrative, financial, legal, planning, and engineering functions involved in the solutions to all problems of solid waste. The study shows that 18.75 percent respondents had negative attitude on solid waste and 81.25 percent respondent had shown their responsibility on management of solid waste. Among them 77.5 percent respondents disposed their waste in a dustbin, 17.7 percent of the respondents their waste by themselves and 5 percent respondents were throw their wastes on the corner randomly. Out of total 97.5 percent respondents separate decomposable and non-decomposable waste before throwing it out whereas 2.5 percentage of respondent do not separate waste according to their nature. The study show that 56.25 percent respondents knew to re- used the waste whereas remaining 43.75 percent respondents did not know or neglect the process of reusing waste. Out of total 88.75 of the respondents gain profit from the waste whereas 11.25 percent of the respondents although know about earning from the waste were found careless enough to store their wastes and sell to the scrap dealers. This study show that 92.5 percent respondents are satisfactory on waste disposal management system of hospitals and 7.5 percent respondents were not satisfactory on disposal management system of hospitals. Out of 80 respondents 55 percent respondents disposed their waste twice in a day 38.75 percent disposed waste daily and 6.25 percent disposed waste weekly of the hospitals. The study concludes that the waste management system in CH and Bharatpur Hospital is poor. The segregation, collection, transportation, storage and disposal practice of the hospital waste was found unsatisfactory. The mixing of general, hazardous and sharps wastes were might be due to lack of proper training and instruction about waste segregation system. It was also due to carelessness of patients, visitors and staffs. Even hospital administration, doctors, nurses and other staffs had not given due priority to effective waste management.Item Creating an Enabling Environment for Public–Private Partnerships in Waste-to-Energy Projects(2018-12) ADB; Huang, Jingmin; Liu, Shengbin; Plaza, Aldrin; Zhou, WeiItem Public-private partnership in solid waste management: A case study of Lalitpur Metropolitan City(Department of Public Administration, 2017) Rai, Lok BahadurAvailable with full textItem Solid Waste Management in Gangtok Bazaar, Sikkim(Department of Geography, 2006) Tamang, RajaniNot availableItem A study of community participation in solid waste management in Kathmandu Metropolitan City(Department of Public Administration, 2017) Dahal, Indra PrasadSolid waste management in Nepal has been one of the important and seriously discussed topics. Kathmandu Metropolitan City is unable to handle the solid waste by itself. So, community participation is being encouraged to manage the waste. In this way, my study will focus on community participation in solid waste management in Kathmandu. There are varieties of study areas for my research, Old Newar settlement (Ashan and Jyatha),Thamel (Tourism area), and Samakhuhsi Town Planning (ward no:-29 out of 38 wards of Kathmandu Metropolitan City.) Waste management in those areas has been managed through Ngos and Private sectors, communities, and Metropolitan Authority. Household questionnaire and interviews will be used as the research tools and a total of 48respondents and 11 key respondents (2/2 senior employees ) from community organizations including 3 staffs from environment department of Kathmandu Metropolitan City respondents interviewed around the study areas. The study will use both qualitative and quantitative approach to analyze the information. It is believed that about 75% of the total waste generated in Kathmandu is of organic type which can be composted. The main aim of Solid Waste Management Practice is seen in all these settlements to segregate waste at source. All the communities have different approaches which the people follow in segregating waste. In all the settlements bins are provided. At Ashan and Local NewarSettlement area has a central collection system but the community members are asked to segregate waste. In Thamel too, it is a similar case but a private company is involved (directly) in managing waste. In Samakhushi Town Planning area, people are encouraged to manage waste in individual level in their own household. This Study will try to depict the status of solid waste management practices as well as the status of community participation community members in other activities such as recycling-reuse, disposal of waste, decision making within entire ward no 29 out of 38 wards of Kathmandu Metropolitan City.
