Abstract: |
The purpose of this study aimed to study current waste management systems, including the type and amount of waste of Phu Ruea National Park, Loei Province, to assess waste management operation under Green National Park Project, and to recommend appropriate waste management guidelines for the national park. This study is mixed study of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The literature review of related documents, academic articles, so on and semi-structured interview with key informant involving waste management and waste producer in the national park. The study found that the Phu Ruea National Park has collected the amount of waste since 2017. The annual amount of waste decreased from 2018 to 2019. The highest waster rate usually is in various important festival days, long weekend and the winter which is high season for tourists. The types of solid waste which have the tendency of decreasing amount are recyclable and hazardous waste. The increasing amount of solid waste is decomposed waste. For general waste, it has the tendency to increase in 2017 - 2018 but slightly decrease in 2019.
Waste management system of Phu Ruea National Park includes waste collection, waste transport, waste separation, waste disposal, and waste management according to 3R principles: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Waste is separated into 4 types and disposals with different methods according to the type of waste. As well as waste management in accordance with the 3Rs principles, waste management in national park office, restaurant/shops and service zone area are organized by public relations and requesting cooperation from staffs, personnel, entrepreneurs and tourists.
Phu Ruea National Park has certified the environmental management assessment from the Green National Park in 2019. The Green National Park Project consists of 17 criteria for environmental management assessment, with 4 criteria related to waste management; waste reduction according 3Rs principle, separation, collection, and disposal. In general, Phu Ruea National Park has performed sound waste management according to the criteria. There was no remaining waste in the area, however waste separation was partially practiced incorrectly. Moreover, general waste disposal was not appropriate. Recommendations for waste management in the national park were such as appropriate tool procurement, adequate waste management equipment, more waster management measures during high season, waste disposal improvement, etc.
Waste management operations in this national park area should develop specific media or measures that will affect the behavior of waste reduction in national parks. The responsible agencies should push the green tourism more widely by collaborating with other agencies. Green national park criteria should be developed for the protection and maintenance of ecosystems and natural resources. As well as, there should be more promotion and supports the national park as a source of research and education in order to develop standards of the national park in the future. |
