DETERMINING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN GREEN SPACES: BASIS FOR DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE ADVENTURE TOURISM
This study explores the environmental impacts of the residents in The Greenery, with a focus on sustainable practices. Demographically, the majority of respondents belong to the 25-29 age group, predominantly male, holding a bachelor’s degree, employed, and residing in Baliwag, Bulacan for 1-5 years. Team building emerges as the preferred outdoor activity. The study indicates notable awareness of resource utilization and concerns about Greenery’s environmental state. Awareness of wastewater treatment and its impact on aquatic life is evident. Waste disposal practices mainly involve burying, yet respondents express a strong willingness to segregate waste. “Proper Waste Management” is identified as a critical environmental issue, with an emphasis on “Trash/Litter Recycling” as an influential factor. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive environmental education, investing in waste management infrastructure, fostering community engagement, and collaborating with authorities and environmental organizations. The study concludes with a proposed program, “Sustainable Horizons: The Greenery Conservation Adventure,” aiming to align leisure activities with sustainable environmental practices.
