Describing the self-perceived impact on health of people living near to a solid waste disposal site in Cali and on their physical and social environments.
In addition to a cohort study, qualitative research was carried out to explore experiences amongst 16 residents in leadership positions in their communities. Seven semi-structured interviews and one focus group were conducted. Thematic analysis was developed using thematic networks to identify recurrent patterns related to theexperience of living in proximity to the solid waste disposal dump.
Participants perceived respiratory health problems as mainly arising from the sickening odours emanating form the Navarro dump. The area has also developed a bad reputation ("stigma") because of the exasperating odours, flies and the close view of waste disposal.
Participants perceived the Navarro dump had a negative impact on their physical health and also that its bad reputation in the neighbourhood had effects on the social and physical environment of people living close to the solid waste disposal dump.
描述居住在卡利市固体废弃物处理场附近的居民对自身健康及其物理和社会环境的自我认知影响。
除了一项队列研究外，还开展了定性研究，以探究其所在社区16名担任领导职务的居民的经历。进行了7次半结构化访谈和1次焦点小组讨论。采用主题网络进行主题分析，以识别与居住在固体废弃物处理场附近的经历相关的反复出现的模式。
参与者认为呼吸健康问题主要源于纳瓦罗垃圾场散发的刺鼻气味。由于气味刺鼻、苍蝇乱飞以及垃圾处理的近距离景象，该地区也声名狼藉（“污名”）。
参与者认为纳瓦罗垃圾场对他们的身体健康有负面影响，而且其在社区中的坏名声也对居住在固体废弃物处理场附近的人们的社会和物理环境产生了影响。
