Introduction: India is facing a challenge in controlling open-air defecation (OAD). There are various sociocultural and behavioral factors that influenced the practice. Objective: To study the attitude, behavior, and practice associated with OAD among individuals in Samayapuram area, Trichy district, Tamil Nadu. Methodology: This was a qualitative study done during August 2016. The topic guide comprised questions about OAD and latrines. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted among various groups and individuals. Results: The study population comprised people of different age groups and gender residing in Samayapuram, Trichy District, Tamil Nadu. Five FGDs were conducted among field workers, adult males, adult females, and school children (both males and females). Ten IDIs were conducted among school children, adults, the elderly, a medical officer, an executive officer, a sanitary inspector, and a sanitary worker. The study showed that people prefer OAD over latrine for the following reasons: economical, habit, comfort, space constraints, opportunity to be combined with walking, smoking and chatting with friends, ventilation, and easy accessibility. They did not prefer community latrines for maintenance constraints such as water scarcity, cleanliness, and distance. Conclusion: The issue of OAD can be addressed only by strong and continuous motivation of individuals and groups. Any intervention to reduce OAD should aim at exploring the unique beliefs, culture, common factors, etc., for it to be effective. The intervention should be highly multidimensional with a special focus on behavior, engineering, and legislation.

The Planet Earth consists of various major components in order to sustain life on it. Every living creature generates waste or by-product. Waste disposal is the process of organisms returning substances back to the environment. It is anything that is purposeless or unwanted and requires disposal. Like any other process, it requires management which refers to a set of functions of organizing, planning, controlling and directing of resources. Therefore, waste management describes the procedures of the collection, conveyance, recycling or disposal and examining of waste. The entire process must be planned well, in order to avoid any discomfort or hazards to the living creatures (human/non-human). According to a study, the world generates over 2.6 trillion pounds of garbage each year. The first-ever method of waste management was documented to be in 3000 B.C. Landfills were developed and garbage was dumped and filled with dirt at various levels. Currently, Germany holds the highest standard in recycling across the world. Technology is a tool that has been repeatedly used to enhance processes. With the rise of innovations such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities, the process of waste management has become a contender for enhancement. With the World producing different types of waste, researchers are struggling to define the most suitable waste management technique. Our education system must incorporate at least some modules in this direction, to implement and find its effectiveness. This paper will explore and review different waste management techniques, methods and research work, which has been implemented in various parts of the world. Further, the paper will explore various technologies related to IoT and how it can be implemented to manage the above-mentioned issue accordingly. The researchers will provide a critical review and discussion of the techniques explored based on the findings of their study.

Effective waste segregation remains a critical challenge in institutional settings, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and compliance. Motivated by this adversity, the researchers developed the EcoSorter—an IoT-based smart waste segregation system designed to automate the categorization and disposal of essential recyclable materials, including plastics, paper, and metal, within San Beda College Alabang. This approach not only optimizes waste management processes but also promotes a culture of sustainability within the institution. The primary objective of this research was to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) system that improves the efficiency of waste segregation, reduce manual labor, and provide real-time monitoring through the Blynk platform. The methodology involved comprehensive system design, development, and evaluation utilizing the ISO/IEC 25010 software quality model, complemented by a survey of 100 respondents from the SBCA community along with a few industry experts from various fields. Key findings revealed a system accuracy rate of 90% in determining waste classification within 10 seconds, alongside an overall satisfaction rating of 4.8/5, interpreted as “Excellent,” demonstrating the system's effectiveness in accurately detecting, segregating, and monitoring waste. In conclusion, the EcoSorter exhibits significant potential for enhancing institutional waste segregation processes. The study recommends further enhancements, including increased bin capacity and the ability to process multiple waste items simultaneously, to improve system scalability and adaptability for larger establishments.
