Frederick Decleck defended his master thesis about the public awareness of the waste management among the foreigners at Liepaja which is an unique topic. The data was collected by questionairs, the student also went to the waste recycling plant “Ķīvītes” in Grobiņa, he had an interview with the manager, which told him about the biggest problems the facility is facing.
During his research process, student has found out that the most foreigners in Liepaja don’t sort waste correctly because they don’t have the right information about sorting waste correctly, which is even worse, because when you don’t sort correctly, you contaminate the ones that are sorted correctly. In order to help to spread the information about it, student prepared the brochure about the waste management at Liepaja.
On the question of how was the research experience, the student said all went well, except the fact, that the student needs to do a lot of translation, because almost every document in Liepaja is in Latvian, but the supervisor of the student helped him with the translations.
