Household solid waste management is a major public health concern in the community people and closely related to daily human life. Community people can play a pivotal role in managing household solid waste. Objectives: This study was aimed to assess the awareness and practice of household solid waste management among the people living in the Mugda community in Dhaka. Methods: A descriptive co-relational study design was used. A total of 112 participants were selected with the convenience sampling technique. The data collection period was from July 2019 to June 2020. The data were collected from the participants by face-to-face interview through the door-to-door survey by using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using descriptive, Pearson correlation, t-test, and one-way ANOVA statistics. Results: Finding of the study shows that the mean awareness regarding household solid waste management was 7.96 (SD = 1.64) and the mean practice was 2.94 (SD = 1.35) respectively. It indicates that the awareness and practice of community people were at a moderate level. In bivariate analysis, it has been shown that training on household solid waste management ("P < 0.001"), and recyclable waste (p = 0.019) were statistically significantly correlated with household solid waste management practice. Conclusion: Overall awareness and practice level of household solid waste management were at a moderate level among the community people. Training on household solid waste management and recyclable waste management were statistically significantly correlated with household solid waste management. Policymakers can use this baseline data to make a strategy for increasing awareness among the community people.

“…Sampah dinilai sebagai masalah yang tidak pernah tuntas dan menjadi salah satu penyebab kerusakan lingkungan. Sampah merupakan bentuk konsekuensi dari adanya aktivitas manusia yang terus diproduksi dan tidak pernah berhenti selama manusia tetap ada.Volumenya akan bertambah seiring dengan pertambahan penduduk (Ambrin Shahzadi, 2018). Hal ini diperparah dengan kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam membuang dan mengelola sampah, kurangnya jumlah tempat pembuangan akhir sampah (TPA), dan kemampuan pemerintah untuk mendanai tempat pengelolaan sampah masih sangat kurang (Ali Almasi, 2019).…”

Permasalahan tentang perlindungan lingkungan telah mencapai kepentingan tertinggi di era global saat ini, tetapi dalam praktiknya konsep dasar pengelolaan sampah sering diabaikan. Dalam hal ini setiap orang memiliki pengetahuan tentang pengelolaan sampah namun dalam penerapannya bersikap negatif atau buruk. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah pada mahasiswa FKM UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan sampel sebanyak 245 mahasiswa. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2 metode. Pada metode pertama, sampel diambil menggunakan Cluster Sampling dengan teknik PPS (Probability Proportionate to Size), kemudian metode kedua diambil menggunakan Simple Random Sampling. Kriteria inklusi adalah mahasiswa yang bersedia menjadi responden penelitian dan hadir pada saat penelitian berlangsung dan kriteri eksklusi adalah mahasiswa yang mengundurkan diri dan tidak hadir pada saat penelitian berlangsung. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil analisis hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah yang baik diperoleh bahwa ada sebanyak 141 (61,3%) mahasiswa yang pengetahuannya baik bersikap baik dalam melakukan pengelolaan sampah. Sedangkan diantara mahasiswa yang memiliki pengetahuan yang buruk, ada 11 (73,3%) mahasiswa yang bersikap baik dalam melakukan pengelolaan sampah. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan sikap pengelolaan sampah pada mahasiswa FKM UIN Sumatera Utara Medan.
