Abstract
This research aimed to study the application of the Pillars of Islam for solid waste management in the Liap Khlong 13 Community, Nong Chok District. It was conducted by using a mixed methods approach. For the qualitative component, a sample of 12 participants was selected through purposive sampling, comprising community leaders, religious leaders, and members of the community committee. Data were collected via in-depth interviews. Regarding the quantitative component, a sample of 60 participants was recruited using snowball sampling, including community leaders, religious leaders, committee members, and household residents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics such as percentages, complemented by content analysis.
The study revealed that community household members adopted religious doctrines as a fundamental guide for their way of life. Driven by faith-based motivation and devotion to Allah (SWT), behavioral aspects of cleanliness, regarding cleanliness as a core life principle, were at 91.65% of the sample. This was followed by the avoidance of disposing of solid waste and sewage on public roads or community thoroughfares at 90.00%. Concerning the sufficiency dimension, the practice of water conservation based on the prophetic tradition emerged as the prominent behavior, with a prevalence rate of 96.65%. Furthermore, 86.65% of participants emphasized instilling environmental consciousness in youth, focusing on the mindful use of resources as prescribed by Islamic doctrines. The findings suggest that government agencies and religious organizations can apply religious approaches to instill Islamic environmental ethics among community members, thereby promoting the values of sustainable waste management.
