Non-Formal and Sustainable Environmental Education Program on Urban Solid Waste (PEANFSRSU) for the residents of the community, Las Vigas, Gro., México
Abstract
Waste arises from human activities, appears in various environments, and adversely impacts the environment. The study aimed to present a proposal for a Non-Formal and Sustainable Environmental Education Program on Urban Solid Waste (PEANFSRSU) in Las Vigas community, Guerrero, Mexico. Solid waste is analyzed across various scientific fields and disciplines, including social sciences, environmental studies, and education. This research is justified by challenges related to inadequate waste management and the scarcity of appropriate practices in the community. It employed a mixed-methods approach, involving on-site observation, a survey of 56 individuals, and interviews with 42 key informants. Diagnostic results revealed significant socioeconomic and environmental deficiencies. Sixty-three percent of respondents recognized the issues associated with solid waste, while 68% perceived social consequences of waste pollution. Economically and politically, 46% considered waste a major concern. Interviews indicated that waste poses a serious problem in the community, with a lack of practical application of existing knowledge and deficiencies in environmental awareness. Based on these findings, the PEANFSRSU was designed, structured into four phases: context, structuring, programming, and evaluation. In conclusion, addressing the waste issue in Las Vigas requires a coordinated response from both the community and authorities
