Abstract
This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to investigate the level of participation and personal factors affecting the level of participation in environmental management of residents in a condominium building in Bangkok. A sample of 323 samples was collected from the sample. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and ANOVA. The results showed that the most prominent factors were (1) residents’ participation in environmental management, environmental sanitation system,and (2)residents’participation in environmental management, safety system, which were at the highest levels, i.e. = 4.40±0.640 and = 4.40±0.602, respectively. The results of ANOVA and t-test on personal factors revealed that gender, income, and length of stay did not significantly affect the level of participation in environmental management. Residents with different household status, age, and highest level of education had different levels of participation in environmental management at the 0.05 significance level. This research will be useful in determining appropriate environmental management policies for condominium management in Bangkok.
