Abstract

Ovim diplomskim radom analiziran je postojeći sustav gospodarenja otpadom na području Zagrebačke županije, s posebnim naglaskom na percepciju stanovnika o metodama prikupljanja i zbrinjavanja otpada. Rad istražuje stupanj zadovoljstva građana trenutnim sustavom, njihovu svijest i angažiranost u recikliranju te spremnost na život u blizini odlagališta otpada. Cilj rada je utvrditi učinkovitost postojećeg sustava, identificirati ključne izazove i pružiti preporuke za poboljšanje gospodarenja otpadom.
Metodologija rada uključuje pregled znanstvene i stručne literature, analizu zakonskih i strateških dokumenata, te empirijsko istraživanje provedeno putem anketa sa stanovnicima Zagrebačke županije. U anketnom istraživanju korištena je metoda slučajnog uzorkovanja, a prikupljeni podaci su analizirani pomoću deskriptivnih statističkih metoda.
Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su stanovnici umjereno zadovoljni trenutnim sustavom gospodarenja otpadom, ali ističu potrebu za boljom komunikacijom s nadležnim tijelima. Također, rezultati ukazuju na relativno visoku razinu ekološke svijesti među stanovnicima, ali i na potrebu za daljnjom edukacijom i promocijom recikliranja. Stanovnici su pokazali spremnost za prilagodbu životnim uvjetima u blizini odlagališta otpada, ali su izrazili zabrinutost zbog potencijalnih utjecaja na zdravlje i kvalitetu života.

Abstract (english)

This thesis analyzes the existing waste management system in Zagreb County, with a particular focus on the residents' perceptions of waste collection and disposal methods. The study examines the level of citizen satisfaction with the current system, their awareness and engagement in recycling practices, and their willingness to live near waste disposal sites. The aim of the thesis is to assess the effectiveness of the current system, identify key challenges, and provide recommendations for improving waste management.
The methodology of the thesis includes a review of scientific and professional literature, analysis of legal and strategic documents, and empirical research conducted through surveys with residents of Zagreb County. The survey used a random sampling method, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods.
The research results indicate that residents are moderately satisfied with the current waste management system but emphasize the need for better communication with the relevant authorities. Additionally, the results suggest a relatively high level of environmental awareness among residents, but also highlight the need for further education and promotion of recycling. Residents have shown a willingness to adapt to living conditions near waste disposal sites but have expressed concerns about potential impacts on health and quality of life.
