Abstract

          The objectives of this research were 1) to design and develop innovations to promote sustainable waste management as a part of the community, 2) to assess innovations to promote sustainable waste management towards community attitudes. The research area is Taksin Samphan Community,Bang Yi Ruea, ThonBuri, Bangkok. This research was a mixed research.  The innovation in this research is to design a waste sorting cabinet with a waste sorting system, waste packing, waste removal from the cabinet and harmonious with the community environment. The components of the innovation are 3 parts as follows: 1) The main structure works to attach sliding rails, closing-opening doors for garbage handling, cover plates and installing packages. 2) There are 3 compartments separated by waste type, which are responsible for force disposal of paper, plastic bottles and aluminum cans. 3) Each set of 3 waste containers is independent of each other. The waste container set has a rectangular box shape and open on one side surrounded by metal nets on 3 sides, forcing waste into the inner space. Each set is mounted on a sliding rail for easy loading and unloading of waste. The overall quality assessment by the target group of 400 people. The result showed the mean and overall standard deviations equal to 4.12 and 0.67, respectively. The result of research will enhance knowledge, understanding and learning about waste management from community sources.
