    Camayra, Zyllette G.; Casimero, Joeuella M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-04)
    Proper management, of solid waste is the answer to the worsening problem of garbage. The participation of the household sector, as the primary source of solid waste, plays an important role in the successful implementation of Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program (CBSWMP). The study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between households' participation in Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program and the age and awareness of the household head as well as the monthly income of the household, it seeks to accomplish the following objectives: (1) To describe the profile of the households in barangay Mat-y, Miagao, Iloilo, with active CBSWMP; (2) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and age of the household head; (3) To determine if there is a relationship between households' participation in CBSWMP and income of the household; (4) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and awareness of the household head. The sample of the study involved residents of barangay Mat-y. Miagao, Iloilo. Eighty respondents, from the total 320 probable respondents, were randomly selected and interviewed. The interview was made possible using an interview schedule. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that, age, monthly income and level of awareness did not show direct correlation with respondents’ participation with CBSWMP. Although, a relationship exists among variables and participation on CBSWMP, the nature of relationship is weak and inverse thereby not giving significant findings. From the results, it can be said therefore that, the participation of households in CBSWMP may depend on households’ attitudes and behavior towards the program. The researchers recommend further research to be conducted on households’ participation in CBSWMP but using other variables not included in this study.

    Cajeben, Jean Lyn T.; Chua, Lodelyn S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)
    The study was undertaken to know the pattern of involvement of seafarers’ spouses in household decision-making and community affairs. Specifically, it aims to: (1) know the socio-demographic characteristics of seafarers’ spouses; (2) find out the pattern of involvement of seafarers’ spouses in household decision-making and; (3) identify the pattern of involvement of seafarers’ spouses in community affairs. The researchers employed a fishbowl sampling method in selecting the 35 respondents. The data was gathered using an interview schedule and analyzed using simple frequency counts and percentages. The study found that majority of the respondents are college graduates and are gainfully employed. Most of those who are employed are public school teachers. The result also shows that in terms of household decision-making, the seafarers’ spouse involvement is most evident in the disciplining of children while her participation in other areas of decision-making is characterized by consultation with her spouse particularly in economic and recreation affairs. Moreover, the study revealed that seafarers’ spouses are actually involved in their community’s recreational, political, and socio-religious activities. As for the recommendation, the researchers suggest that further studies with a larger sample be made on the same topic. Another study investigating about the challenges faced by left-behind spouses as a consequence of their husband’s physical absence. The researchers also recommend that another study should be done focusing on the topic that revolves around the comparison between the seafarer’s spouse and that of the non-migrant spouse’s involvement in the household decision-making and community affairs.
