城郊乡村第二和第三部门的发展造成了发展压力，并造成了人口、社会经济和空间变化。提供基本服务不足是这些村庄的主要关切之一。这项研究旨在探讨废物管理的现状和社区对废物管理的态度，以及自助小组(SHGs)是否有助于培养集体责任感。从印度孟买大都会地区Bhiwandi周围的通知地区选择了五个村庄，对农村地方机构提供服务的现状进行了个案研究调查。同时对122户村民和村里所有村长进行了问卷调查。由于有限的家庭调查，数据通过文件和对官员的采访进行了三角测量。对结果进行了定性和定量分析，以了解人们对SHG的看法，以及这些群体在改善生计和生活条件方面做出贡献的主要因素。正如案例研究中所强调的那样，在这些城市周边社区迅速演变的结构中，社会团体还在提高对问题和社会融合的认识方面发挥着重要作用。分析了在当地参与农村固体废物管理的态度上，卫生局的参与程度与识字水平之间的关系。由此产生的重大相关性表明，在规划城市周边村庄的发展模式时，应考虑这些因素。在政策层面上支持小岛屿发展中国家可以帮助促进地方伙伴关系和社区倡议，以便更好地在村庄提供服务。这种社会赋权构成了社会可持续性的基础，而社会可持续性反过来又促进了经济和环境的可持续性。
The growth of secondary and tertiary sectors in the peri-urban villages results in development strain and causes demographic, socio-economic, and spatial transformations. Deficiency in provisioning of basic services is one of the prime concerns for these villages. This study aims to examine the present conditions and the community’s attitude towards waste management, and whether the self-help groups (SHGs) can aid in developing a sense of collective responsibility. Five villages from the Bhiwandi Surrounding Notified Area in Mumbai Metropolitan Region, India, were selected for a case study investigation of the current situation of service provisioning by the rural local bodies. Questionnaire surveys were conducted for 122 households and the heads of all SHGs in the villages simultaneously. Due to the limited household surveys, the data were triangulated with documents and interviews with officials. The results were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed to understand people’s perception of the SHGs and the major factors through which the groups contribute in improving livelihoods and living conditions. The SHGs also play a significant role in developing awareness of issues and social integration in the rapidly evolving structure of these peri-urban communities, as is highlighted in the case studies. The relations between SHG participation and literacy levels on the attitude towards local involvement in solid waste management for the villages were analysed. The resulting significant correlations point towards the consideration of these factors while planning for a development model for peri-urban villages. Policy-level support to the SHGs can help in fostering local partnerships and community initiatives towards better service delivery in the villages. This kind of social empowerment forms the basis for social sustainability, which in turn promotes economic and environmental sustainability.
