Title
The proposed title for the study is Solid Waste Disposal. This paper will show the information about the future research, at the same time, focus on the different methods and approaches to be applied in order to make the study successful.
Problem of the Study
Most human activities create waste, and it is the way this waste is handled, stored, collected and disposed of, that can pose risks to the environment and to public health (Zhu et al., 2008). Rapid urbanization and industrialization in India has resulted in over-stressing of urban infrastructure services including municipal solid waste management services. Civic bodies are facing considerable difficulties in providing adequate services such as supply of water, electricity, roads, and public sanitation, including municipal solid waste management (MSWM).
Aims and Objectives
The main aim of the study is to analyze and evaluate the solid waste disposal. In line with this, the following are the specific objectives:
· To evaluate the different important aspect of solid waste disposal;
· To assess the importance of solid waste disposal;
· To present and recommend different actions to improve solid waste disposal.
Methodology
Descriptive method will be used in the study. According to Creswell (1994) it can help in order to show the different facts that are connected with the nature of the status of the current problem or condition as it happens at the time of the study. This is the reason why, it is considered as one of the most applied methodology in most studies. Furthermore, it will also be helpful in order to offer logical use in the studies which focus on dissemination of information, at the same time, it can help in order to investigate based on normative standards. It will be helpful in order to focus on the practices which exist, beliefs and processes that are currently going on and the effects that are being felt and experienced, together with the trends that re currently developing (Best, 1907).
Data Collection
Survey questionnaire will be used in order to gather primary data from the respondents. Likert scales will be used, where in the respondents will be asked to rate the level of their agreements towards the statements given. This will also be advantageous because it will make filling up questionnaire a lot easier and faster.
The equivalent weights of the answers are:
Range Interpretation
4.50 – 5.00 Strongly Agree
3.50 – 4. 49 Agree
2.50 – 3.49 Uncertain
1.50 – 2.49 Disagree
0.00 – 1.49 Strongly Disagree
Data Analysis
All of the data will be evaluated with the use of SPSS software. Thus, in order to come up with the results and findings of the study, frequency, percentage and weighted mean will be calculated. The following are the formulas to be used:
1. Percentage – will be calculated in order to determine the magnitude of the responses to the questionnaire (Research Methods Knowledge Base, n.d.).
2. Weighted Mean
