Abstract

This systematic review aimed to reconsider the evidence in the inspection of municipal solid waste management in both Thailand and foreign countries. Sample was 1,611 studies related to the inspection of municipal solid waste management, published during 2010 – 2019, both domestically and internationally. There were 16 articles that met the criteria to get analyzed. The criteria for selection research were to define keywords under the principle of PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome). The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) form was applied to evaluate the research, using content analysis.

So total number of selected researches was 16. From that number, 7 studies were conducted in Thailand and the others were conducted in foreign countries. The difference between Thai national studies and foreign studies was that the Thai studied the situation of municipal solid waste management (n=4), the development of local pattern (n=5) and key success factors (n=3). On the other hand, foreigners put policy and law into practice, created community awareness, and applied inspection technology. However, the similarity of municipal solid waste management was to promote 3Rs strategy (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) for solid waste management, to involve in garbage classification, to build community participation, and to carry out community management.

For further study, policy research method should be applied to municipal solid waste management. And the technology development research that are suitable for Thailand should be conducted.
