| dc.description.abstract | The general objective of this study was to assess the solid waste management practices in Addis Ababa, specifically in three selected condominium housing sites in Yeka sub city. The study tried to identify the main causes for the ineffectiveness of solid waste management. The study used mixed-method approach. For a quantitative method a structured close ended questionnaire was used and for the qualitative method, key informant in-depth interviews and field observation were conducted to collect the data for this study. A multi staged sampling was used to select the sample households from the three selected condominium sites for the study. From the ten sub cities in Addis Ababa Yeka sub city was purposely selected then Yeka Abado, Yeka Ayat 1 and Yeka Ayat 2 condominium housing sites were again purposely selected. After that 80, 60 and 60 households were randomly selected from Yeka Abado, Yeka Ayat 1 and Yeka Ayat 2 condominium housing sites respectively. Simple random sampling was used to select 4 solid waste management experts and 6 solid waste collection workers for the key informant in-depth interview. Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, is suffering from lack of effective solid waste management. Condominium housing is a new phenomenon in Addis Ababa in particular and in Ethiopia in general, it is being widely applicable, and large number of condominium houses are currently under construction. Primary data were collected via questionnaires, interview, and field observations. Whereas the secondary data were extracted from different published and unpublished materials. Both primary and secondary sources were used to achieve the objectives. The analysis of this study was carried out using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The result of the study revealed that the factors contributing to the ineffectiveness of solid waste management basically rely on three major causes: lack of awareness and training based on a study, lack of law enforcement and lack of resource and man power. | en_US |
