Survey

As a method of research that we believed would be useful in this particular research, we conducted a survey on the residents and business establishments of Teachers Village East. All in all, 48 households and establishments, which is 7% of the household population, participated in the survey. The questions, in Filipino as to avoid confusion for the surveyed, are as follows:
1. Sa baiting na 1-5. 5 bilang pinakamataas, gaano ka-importante ang
pagreresiklo sa inyong bahay o inyong negosyo?
2. Nag-sesgregate po ba kayo? Paano?
3. Ginagamit niyo po ba ulit ang mga lalagyanan na plastic o metal para sa
ibang bagay?
4. Nakikinig po ba kayo sa mga paanyayang publiko ukol sa pagreresiklo?
5. Alam niyo po ba na may programa ng pagreresiklo ang baranggay?
6. Sinusunod niyo ba ito?
7. Gaano karaming plastic bag ng basura ang naitatapon niyo bawat linggo?
8. Gumagamit ba kayo ng reusable bags (e.g. Katya bags) sa grocery?
9. Sa iyong palagay, epektibo ba ang pangogngolekta ng basura?
10. Binebenta ba ninyo ang basura niyo sa mga naghahalukay o dyaryo bote?
11. May iba pa ba kayong paraan ng pagtapon ng inyong basura?
