Nghiên cứu hiệu quả công tác thu phí vận chuyển chất thải rắn sinh hoạt trên địa bàn quận Gò Vấp, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Rapid urbanization in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has led to a significant increase in domestic solid waste (CTRSH), posing critical environmental and public health challenges. Effective waste management, particularly the financial mechanisms for its collection and transportation cost, is crucial for urban sustainability. Recent policy changes, guided by the "polluter pays" principle, necessitate the implementation of domestic solid waste transportation cost, yet public acceptance and operational efficiency remain key concerns. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and public perception of the domestic solid waste transportation fee collection system in Go Vap District, HCMC, during the 2022-2024 period, identifying challenges and proposing viable solutions to enhance its implementation.

Policymakers, urban planners, environmental researchers, local government officials in Ho Chi Minh City and other urban areas, and academics interested in waste management and public policy.

This research investigates the real-world application of policies related to domestic solid waste (CTRSH) transportation fees in Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City, from 2022 to 2024. It employs a mixed-methods approach, including sociological surveys to gauge public opinion and behavior, statistical analysis to process quantitative data, and a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats inherent in the current fee collection system. The study surveyed 160 residents across 16 wards, utilizing a Likert scale for agreement levels and analyzing feedback on the fee structure. Key findings reveal that while a high level of awareness (97%) regarding the new fee information was observed, a significant portion (25%) expressed disagreement. This dissent was primarily attributed to inconsistencies in collection methods, a lack of clarity on the distinction between collection and transportation fees, and insufficient understanding of the policy's underlying purpose. The SWOT analysis further highlighted robust legal frameworks and proactive local government efforts as strengths, but pointed to issues like fragmented information, lack of unified implementation across localities, and inadequate public communication as weaknesses, alongside opportunities in digital transformation and threats from public skepticism. To address these challenges, the study proposes strategic solutions focusing on enhancing public awareness through diversified communication campaigns, promoting the adoption of digital technologies for electronic payments to streamline the process, and ensuring better coordination and standardized procedures among different local administrations. These recommendations aim to improve the transparency, fairness, and efficiency of the domestic solid waste management system in Go Vap, fostering greater public consensus and contributing to the development of a smart, green urban environment. By addressing public concerns and leveraging technological advancements, the study provides a roadmap for sustainable waste management practices that can be replicated in other urban areas facing similar issues.
