PLACE ATTACHMENT AND PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR PARALYSIS: A STUDY OF HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT by Hope Iyawe

“…The result suggests that factors like: (1) strong PA exhibited by residents serve only social and personal interests that can hardly translate to PEB (2) with the indigenes out-numbered by the ‘visitors’ coupled with the belief that the ‘visitors’ have a home elsewhere, cooperation and oneness among residents is not guaranteed; and, (3) given the wet season of seven months coupled with lack of drainage facilities and results in submergence this situation encourages non-challant behaviours towards waste management as the area is almost degraded, forsaken and abandoned. …”
