“…Effective recycling policies can influence people's intention and behavior in different ways; directly through imposing taxes and levy, or generally by changing the social context of people's behavior [15], this has been a challenge to the Nigerian MSWM system. For example, previous policies and researches on solid waste management were focused on top-down approach such as institutional problems [16], provision of infrastructure [17], appraisal of waste management strategies [18], regulations and governance [19], state of the environment [20], and ignored the bottom-up approach that ensures individual's participation.…”

Improper handling of household solid waste causes problems that affect public health and the environment, as well as the aesthetic nature of cities. This paper aims to determine if the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and its extended version can be used to predict household recycling intention (RI), and whether perceived lack of facilitating conditions have a moderating role on households' RI in Nigeria. Data from a sample of 393 households from Kano metropolis Nigeria were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The result reveals that the TPB Model predicts households RI in Nigeria and explains 42% of the variance in RI. Attitude is the most important predictor of RI in the TPB model (β = 0.593, p = 0.000). However, after personal norm (PN) was added into the model, the variance in RI increases to 58% and PN becomes the most important predictor of RI in the extended TPB model (β = 0.496, p = 0.000). Perceived lack of facilitating condition was found to have a significant moderating effect on households' RI. Finally, our findings show that providing households with recycling facilities and local collections holds great promise for improving households' intention to recycle.

“…Various governments adopted the community-based strategy in many development programs for improving the quality of life of their citizens. The programs include infrastructure development (Shubeler, 1996), environmental and resource management (Abdullah et al, 2014;Ogu, 2000), poverty reduction (Muhammed, 2008), and environmental conservation (Peerapun, 2012). In rural development, for instance, Villa El-Salvador, a dessert site on the outskirt of Lima in Peru, was transformed into a thriving community of about 130,000 inhabitants.…”

Experiences in the application of the community-based model for improving the quality of life of poor communities have reported improvement regarding project performance. However, most studies placed emphasis on the overall performance determined at the general level. For this reason, the findings do not allow for an adequate understanding of the explanatory factors for the success or failure of the projects. This article investigates the explanatory factors that account for the success and failure of a community-based development initiative in kebbi-state, Nigeria, using a case study approach.

“…Participatory and strategic preparation of a general planning scheme has continued to take place worldwide and has been reported by many researchers including Healey [8], Innes [9], Ogu [10], and Steinberg and Sara [11]. The reportage reveals that participatory and strategic planning has replaced technocratic and comprehensive planning in terms of concepts and approaches to preparing and executing general planning schemes in several cities worldwide (Halla [12]).…”

Local governments, upon new roles and responsibilities regarding decentralization for achieving democracy, called for participatory planning and participatory budgeting approaches. However, many developing countries suffer from challenging limitations imposed by their local development laws. In this respect, the paper aims at elaborating a coherent understanding of the current process of governance in Egypt as one of the developing countries, in an attempt to identify the different roles of all stakeholders to enable determining the most appropriate intervention, and capacity building programs to achieve the decentralization. This would be presented through a precise analysis for the institutional framework, the planning and budgeting process in view of the strategic regional and local plans that are prepared for these levels, and the local participation of citizens, on application on Ismailia Governorate, as a pilot study. Accordingly, the paper comes out with results mapping out the technical challenges involved with the current system of planning and budgeting, together with analyzing the institutional changes that guarantee the integration of community participation.
