Keywords:
Waste Management, PLS-SEM, Solid Household Waste Management, Malaysia, Knowledge, PracticesAbstract
Solid household waste management has been identified as a major problem at all over the world. The failure of managing household waste may lead to increased operation cost and effected the environment entirely. There is a tremendous amount of loss in terms of environmental degradation, health hazards and economic descend due to direct disposal of waste. This study will concentrate on solid waste management among household at Taman Desa Sinaran Dengkel Selangor Malaysia. In this study, a quantitative method based on survey questionnaire was implemented. The data collected, calculated and analyzed using Smart PLS. The results of the study revealed that knowledge is the domain factor in the relationship between solid household waste management behaviour among resident of Desa Sinar Harapan. This paper able to enrich understanding of household regarding the factors that most contribute to waste management.
