A Study on the Development of a Community-Based Participatory Environmental Management System

近年来，虽然多项减废行动被广泛推广，但不少城市的都市固体废物排放总量并没有减少。这意味着缺乏一个环境管理系统，将行为者的环境意识与减少废物的行动联系起来。本研究的目的是确定发展和运作一个以社区为基础的参与性环境管理系统（以下简称“参与性环境管理系统”）的方式方法。研究的主要发现如下：1。推进都市垃圾减量社区参与的前景以社区协会和地方企业为对象的问卷调查结果，揭示了推进都市垃圾减量社区参与的现状和前景。市民对垃圾源头分类的认知与厨余弃置行为的关系一项针对街坊会的问卷调查结果显示，市民对垃圾源头分类的认知与厨余弃置行为有密切的关系，并提出了一些相关的线索，以确保市民将废物彻底分类在源头。参与式环境管理体系循环模式的建议在研究结果的基础上，本研究确定了参与式环境管理体系发展中涉及的一些相关问题，评估了参与式环境管理体系的框架及其运作方式，并最终提出了一个环境管理体系循环模式。

In recent years, despite the fact that a variety of actions geared towards waste reduction are widely promoted, the total volume of municipal solid waste discharged has not turned into a decrease in many cities. This implies the absence of an environmental management system (EMS) that links environmental awareness of actors with actions for waste reduction. This study aims at identifying ways and means to develop and operate a community-based participatory environmental management system (hereinafter referred to as “a participatory EMS"). The major findings derived from the study are as follows:1. Prospects of promoting community-based participation in municipal waste reductionThe outcome of a questionnaire survey administered for neighborhood associations and local enterprises revealed the present state and future prospects of promoting community-based participation in municipal waste reduction.2. The linkage between the citizens' awareness on the need for waste separation at source and kitchen waste disposal behaviorsThe findings from a questionnaire survey administered for neighborhood associations have shown that there is a close linkage between the citizens' awareness on the need for waste separation at source and kitchen waste disposal behaviors, and suggested some relevant clues required to ensure that citizens will undertake waste separation at source thoroughly.3. A proposed model of a participatory EMS cycleOn the basis of the findings generated, the study has identified some relevant issues involved in the development of a participatory EMS, assessed the framework of the participatory EMS and its modus operandi, and eventually proposed an EMS cycle model.
