| Summary: | A healthy environment is essential for the growth of
Tourism industry. The future of tourism is inevitably
related to the environment. As important natural
resources, backwaters should be preserved in a
sustainable manner. SWM emerged as an essential for
keeping tourist destination clean and livable. This paper
analyses the community-based waste management
process in one of the famous backwater tourist
destinations of Kerala and explains the roles and activities
of all stakeholders and their relationship at the
community level. This paper also helps to identify the
reasons for CBWM and justify its need for community
participation. It is based on semi-structured interviews
and direct observation conducted on the research
area.Regardless of efforts to improve community
involvement in waste management there is a lack of
comprehension and understanding in the participation of
community level stakeholders. |
