On Social Distress,Littering and Nature Conservation: The Case of Jisr A-Zarka
Authors:Nurit Carmi
Institution:Tel-Hai Academic College, Upper Galilee, Israel
Abstract:Studying perceptions of litter and littering behavior among marginalized, poor and undeveloped communities is important since these populations frequently inhabit important conservation sites. Jisr-A-Zarqa ("Jisr"), is a coastal town on the Mediterranean shores of Israel and one of Israel’s poorest, densely populated communities. Litter accumulation in the streets and beach of Jisr is a known problem, and its proximity to the nearby stream and beach makes the study of littering important for the conservation of the coastal and marine habitats. I studied residents’ perceptions of litter and littering practices and found that littering and waste accumulation are surface indicators of profound underlying social, economic and political constraints, problems and distresses. These must be considered as an integrated context and addressed when designing litter-reducing interventions.
Keywords:environmental attitudes and concerns  environmental sociology  resource-dependent communities  solid waste management  values and esthetics  community-based natural resource management
