This research is a participatory action research applying an Appreciation-Influence-Control (A-I-C) planning process to develop and evaluate an innovative community-based solid waste management model in the Ban Ko Sub-District Administrative Organization area, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The sample included 17 participants in the solid waste management development group and 69 in the evaluation group. Data were collected through questionnaires, surveys, records, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-tests, while qualitative data were interpreted through content analysis.
The results showed that most waste in the community originated from households, with no systematic waste segregation in place. The developed model emphasized solid waste management through a mobile application innovation, enabling residents to correctly segregate waste at the source. It also established responsible agencies and implemented community policies and regulations as guidelines. The results of using this model showed that knowledge and the amount of solid waste before and after the implementation were significantly different (p-value < 0.05). After the implementation, the people had good waste management behavior (Mean = 2.71, S.D. = 0.45) and a high level of overall participation (Mean = 3.89, S.D. = 0.93). Therefore, this waste management model can be appropriately adapted to other areas by integrating the innovative mobile application for segregating waste into four categories following the 5Rs principle, alongside the formulation of policies and regulations aligned with community contexts. It can be used to develop and solve waste problems in other communities.
