Abstract

 Kohat city is severely experiencing the problem of solid waste management (SWM). Open dumps in residential areas are creating day by day excessive number of environmental and social problems. This study concentrates on level of awareness and responsibility factors towards solid waste management (SWM) among inhabitants of Ashiq Colony, Kohat. There were 220 households and the sample size was 67 selected through analogy of Uma S, Sekaran. It is found by the study that male members of the community were aware about bad situation of solid waste management but female members were unaware about that. On the other hand both the sex were didn’t understand their responsibility towards solid waste management and blame government and municipalities for the situation. Findings of the study suggest that there is need of environmental discourse to show community members that how much these environmental problems cause incredible fiascos. There must be awareness programs on SWM for promotion of clean environment through solid waste management. It is necessary for every individual of community to understand his/her responsibility towards solid waste management and to understand that it is not just the duty of municipality because environment is shared by all.
