RESEARCHERS
 • EVERY COMMUNITY HAVE THEIR ALTERNATIVE WAYS ON
INTRODUCTION
MANAGING WASTE DISPOSALS IN AVERTING THE SPREAD OF
AILMENT OR DISEASES. THEREUPON, THIS STUDY AIMS TO PROVE
AND LAY OUT THAT HAVING A PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT
IMPROVES THE SITUATION OF OUR SURROUNDINGS ESPECIALLY
NOW WITH A SEVERE CLIMATE CHANGE AND IT CAN ALSO LEAD
TO ORDERLY CLEANLINESS AND HEALTHINESS OF OUR
COMMUNITY.
THIS RESEARCH PORTRAY THE CONCERN FOR THE COMMUNITY
HEALTH, CLEANLINESS AND  WASTE MANAGEMENT.ACCORDING
TO THE REPUBLIC ACT 9003 OR THE ECOLOGICAL ACT OF 2000, WE
MUST OBSERVE PROPER WASTE SEGREGATION.THIS LAW WANTS
US TO BE MORE AWARE AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF
EVERYONE AND FOR THE CLEANLINESS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.
AND ALSO DUE TO AN INCREASE IN POPULATION, THE
GENERATION OF WASTE IS GETTING DOUBLED DAY BY DAY. THIS
INCLUDE AN INFORMATION THAT AFTER CHINA AND INDONESIA,
THE PHILIPPINES RANKS AS THE WORLD'S THIRD BIGGEST
POLLUTER, WITH 2.7 MILLION METRIC TONS  OF PLASTIC WASTE
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
THIS STUDY STRIVES/AIMS TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH
QUESTIONS:

• WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF STORE OWNERS OF EACH THREE

(3) CHOSEN BARANGAYS IN TERMS OF PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT?
• WHO AMONG THEM KNOWS THE MEANS OF PROPER DISPOSAL AND
FOLLOW THE ORDER OF PROPER SEGREGATION OF WASTES?
• WHICH OF THE THREE (3) BARANGAYS HAS THE HIGH RATE OF
PRACTICE AND AWARENESS ?
• HOW MANY PROJECT ANSWERS WITH TRUTHFUL ACTIONS?
 METHODOLOGY

• RESEARCH DESIGN
• SURVEY RESEARCH IS A QUANTITATIVE METHOD WHEREBY A
RESEARCHER POSES SOME SET OF PREDETERMINED QUESTIONS TO
AN ENTIRE GROUP, OR SAMPLE, OF INDIVIDUALS. THIS METHOD
MAY ALSO BE USED AS A WAY OF QUICKLY GAINING SOME
GENERAL DETAILS ABOUT ONE’S POPULATION OF INTEREST TO
HELP PREPARE FOR A MORE FOCUSED, IN-DEPTH STUDY USING
TIME-INTENSIVE METHODS SUCH AS IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS OR
FIELD RESEARCH. IN THIS CASE, A SURVEY MAY HELP A
RESEARCHER OR RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS
OR LOCATIONS FROM WHICH TO COLLECT ADDITIONAL DATA.

 DATA GATHERING PROCEDURES

• THE FIRST STEP IS HAVING AN APPROVAL TO OUR SCIENCE TEACHER

WHICH IS SIR. MARK ANTHONY TANGAN THEN SAMPLE INDIVIDUAL IS
SELECTED FROM THE CHOSEN BARANGAYS. THEY CONFERRED AND
DISCUSSED THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND ACCOMPLISHED THE
DISTRIBUTION OF THE INSTRUMENT PROPERLY.(20) RESPONDENTS FROM
BRGY. CABEZAS AND (15)RESPONDENTS FROM BRGY. HUGO PEREZ, AND
BRGY. LALLANA). IN DISTRIBUTING THE QUESTIONNAIRE, THE
RESPONDENTS WERE GIVEN 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO ANSWER THE FORM TO
PREVENT THEM FROM GIVING HASTY RESPONSE. THE RESEARCHER WENT
FROM ONE PLACE(BARANGAY) TO ANOTHER ON COLLECTING THE
ACCOMPLISHED QUESTIONNAIRES. AFTER THE QUESTIONNAIRES HAVE
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, THE RESULT WAS TALLIED AND TABULATED AND
TO APPLY THE PSTATISTICAL TREATMENT TO BE USED WITH THE STUDY.
THESE DATA BECAME THE BASES OF ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION.
THIS STUDY WILL USE THE FOLLOWING STATISTICAL TOOL TO
ANALYZE AND INTERPRET THE DATA GATHERED.

• MEAN. THE RESEARCHERS USED MEAN TO DETERMINE THE

AVERAGE OF A SET DATA BY ADDING THE SET OF DATA DIVIDED
BY THE NUMBER OF DATA.
• PERCENTAGE. THE RESEARCHERS USED PERCENTAGE IN
ORDER TO ENABLE DATA WITH DIFFERENT SAMPLE SIZES OR
TOTALS TO BE COMPARED.
• FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION. THE RESEARCHERS USED
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TO ORGANIZE AND SUMMARIZE THE
DATA GATHERED.

IN TERMS ON KNOWLEDGE AND THE LIKES THE RESEARCHERS FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE FULLY AWARE
BASED ON THEIR PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT.

D. PREPAREDNESS
    IN TERM OF PREPAREDNESS THE RESEARCHERS FOUND OUT THEY ARE FULLY PREPARED BASED ON THEIR
WASTE MANAGEMENT.
