Household Waste and Everyday Practices: Understanding Rural-Urban Differences in Kitchen Waste Disposal in Kerala
Abstract
Kerala's waste management practices, this research shedding light on significant rural-urban disparities and emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions in rural regions, particularly addressing kitchen waste disposal. Drawing from a robust dataset of 46,334 respondents in Kerala, sourced from NFHS 5, the study uncovers a compelling commitment to responsible waste management. Both rural and urban areas exhibit a shared dedication to sustainability, with a consistent preference for closed drain disposal and reusing kitchen waste for gardening or farming. Result: Encouragingly, urban regions show higher levels of awareness and engagement in sustainable waste management, reflected in the prevalence of manual collection. However, nuanced variations in less eco-friendly methods require vigilant attention. This research underscores Kerala's resolute commitment to responsible waste disposal, buoyed by the success of eco-conscious initiatives, and highlights the necessity of tailoring strategies to address local variations for a more sustainable future for all residents.
