ABSTRACT
Flood situations in the country are massive problems that harm communities in a variety
of ways, including economic and physical development. As a result, this study focused
on the impact of waste on floods in Barangay Gonzales Street, Bonuan Boquig, Dagupan
City, Pangasinan and how the community is addressing this issue. Data from 10 legal-age
residents who have lived in the community for more than two decades have been
collected as phenomenological qualitative research. Responses of the participants were
transcribed directly without revisions, although an intelligent guess was given to unclear
parts. Through semi-structured interviews, observation analysis, and open coding, the
researchers detected that the main problem of the community is flooding; caused
mainly by clogged waste in canals. Additionally, different perceived effects of waste
significantly contributed to the flooding in the community. Such effects include health
risks, disturbance of personal lives of the residents, and unsustainable environments.
Moreover, the study also deduced that the means of addressing flooding in the
community is inadequate. Therefore, there is a need to devise a more effective and
innovative method of addressing this impact to alleviate this problem. This is supported
by the theory of Essuman (2017) which focused on the flooding situation in the coastal
area of Ghana
