Waste management at summer children's camps

Abstract:

Ve své práci na téma hospodaření s odpady na letních dětských táborech bych chtěl stručně přestavit systém fungování, hospodaření a celkově zhodnotit nakládání s odpady v rámci jedné zájmové lokality. ( katastr obce Bujesily). Neopominout základní ekonomické faktory a příslušné předpisy související s touto problematikou. Vzhledem, ktomu že mám k dispozici data za uplynulých cca 40 let a jsem schopen doložit průběh, způsoby a situaci, která zde panuje, nebo je částečným obrazem většiny dětských táborů tohoto typu.

Abstract:

In my thesis on the topic “Waste management at summer children´s camps”, I would like to briefly introduce the system of functioning, managing and total evaluation of waste management within the scope of one area of interest (land register of Bujesily village). I will mention the basic economic factors and the relevant regulations related to this issue.With regard to monitoring this data for the past 40 years. I am able to document the situation thoroughly, to display the situation, manners and process in this location. Consequently it could be considered a picture of most children´s camps of that kind. A summer camp on a permanently rented location base, without larger background of brick buildings, electricity and drinking water sources in the location.This camp has tents with wooden bases. And it runs for 14 days. On average 90 persons participate/ take turns in the courses, where participants´ ratio is 65 children under 15 years to 25 years participants and adults. Out of which there is a numerous group of the participants having the first experience with a summer camp, including the first experience with ecological behavior and waste management. I may proclaim that at the end of the camp course, most of the participants are able to behave very responsibly. And let me add a sad fact after returning to normall life, under influence of the family and common background, some of the people tend to return to their original behavior.A separate chapter of the thesis is the fact that camp is located 3 km from a village in nature park Horní Berounka. This implies a responsible relationship to the environment and waste managing is one of the conditions for further rental and authorization.Regular inspections are carried out by community representatives. Hygiene and authority for protection of environment. I think, if the situation would cause dissatisfaction of these authorities, the camp team would be advised to stop all activities and leave the location in the short time.Most of the camp participants are relocated from areas with sophisticated system of waste management and complete waste disposal of all kinds. So, they must improvise with respect to current legislation.Another important factor is the fact that within the Czech Republic in 2016/2017 (only under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports) 2 223/2 238 summer camps (recovery events) and 365/370 events of similar style (from the perspective of less than 5 days). In 2016/2017, 220,205/221,375 children between 6 and 15 years of age took part in these events (excluding security staff in both years). It is only an illusory notion that leaving the children of the place of residence ends up worrying about their waste in their families.
