This present work is the fruit of the study results as part of my doctoral thesis in socio-anthropology, health and environment. The results indicate that, even if household waste is considered by populations as "a nuisance", it is also seen as a source of "diseases", "bad odors" or "mosquitoes" in the two cities under study. This results, consequently, in a variability of domestic practices which results in the survival of risky behaviors in terms of their management.

This present work is the fruit of the study results as part of my doctoral thesis in socio-anthropology, health and environment. The results indicate that, even if household waste is considered by populations as "a nuisance", it is also seen as a source of "diseases", "bad odors" or "mosquitoes" in the two cities under study. This results, consequently, in a variability of domestic practices which results in the survival of risky behaviors in terms of their management. These risky practices are observed in the evacuation of household waste, wastewater and excreted in the street, open gutters, nature, etc. Was it possible to understand these risky practices among populations by highlighting the dysfunctions observed at the very level of institutional municipal waste management systems? Also, the theoretical scope of this study highlighted secular and socio-cultural theories related to household waste and its management, theories of domestic practices of avoidance and ignorance in terms of household waste management.
