| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed to investigate the role of the business community in waste management within Kamonkoli Town Council, focusing on participation levels, motivating factors, and challenges faced. Employing a case study research design, data was collected from a study population of 40 individuals, with a sample size of 36 respondents. Purposive sampling targeted key stakeholders such as the town clerk, accounts officer, human resource manager, and auditors, while simple random sampling was used to select opinion leaders and councilors. Findings revealed both active engagement and significant challenges within the business community regarding waste management. Recommendations included intensified awareness campaigns to underscore the economic and environmental benefits of waste management, alongside training programs to enhance businesses' capacity in waste management techniques. The study identified economic incentives, streamlined regulatory frameworks, and fostering a culture of sustainability as key strategies to motivate businesses in waste management initiatives. It recommended collaborative efforts involving businesses, local authorities, and community stakeholders to address these challenges. Economic incentives such as tax breaks and subsidies were suggested to encourage businesses, alongside clearer regulatory guidelines and penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, fostering a culture of sustainability through awareness campaigns and networking events was proposed to overcome cultural and social barriers. Collaborative platforms for knowledge sharing and resource pooling were also recommended to promote collective action and address common challenges in waste management. | |
