The determinants that influence the mode of disposal of household solid waste were studied in the cities of Parakou, Djougou, Kandi and Malanville in northern Benin. Sex, age, educational level, marital status, income, household size, socio-professional category, type of neighborhood, type of habitat, cities are the variables taken into account and analyzed by the Chi2 test and logistic regression. The results showed little overall trend varies from one city to another household to evacuate their garbage directly in nature (χ2 = 1.188; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.756> 0.05). Moreover, no statistically significant association was detected between the mode of waste disposal and sex (χ2 = 1.267; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.737> 0.05), age of household heads (χ2 = 2.868; DF = 4; P-Value = 0.580> 0.05), marital status (χ2 = 7.710, DF = 9; P-Value = 0.564> 0.05); household size (χ2 = 4.688; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.196> 0.05).

Note also that no relationship was statistically observed between the mode of waste disposal and the level of heads of household income in Djougou, χ2 = 3.909; DF = 4; P-Value = 0.418> 0.05); Kandi, χ2 = 2.826; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.419> 0.05) and Malanville, χ2 = 2.482; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.479> 0.05). But in the four cities, 100% very highly significant association was observed between link waste disposal and education level of household heads at the global level (χ2 = 28.328; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.000 <0.05). Logistic regression analysis also revealed a strong correlation between educational level (χ2 = 9.439; DF = 3; P-Value = 0.024 <0.05 and mode of waste disposal in North Benin.

Abstract: (french)
Les déterminants qui influencent le mode d'évacuation des déchets solides ménagers ont été étudiés dans les villes de Parakou, Djougou, Kandi et Malanville au nord du Bénin. Le sexe, l'âge, le niveau d'instruction, le statut matrimonial, le revenu, la taille du ménage, la catégorie socio-professionnelle, le type de quartier, le type d'habitat, les villes sont les variables prises en compte et analysées par le test de Khi2 et la régression logistique. Les résultats ont révélé une tendance globale peu variable d'une ville à une autre des ménages à faire évacuer leurs ordures directement dans la nature (χ2= 1,188; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,756 >0,05). Par ailleurs, aucun lien statistiquement significatif n'a été décelé entre le mode d'évacuation des déchets et le sexe (χ2 = 1,267; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,737>0,05), l'âge des chefs de ménages (χ2 = 2,868; DF = 4; P-Value = 0,580>0,05), le statut matrimonial (χ2= 7,710; DF = 9; P-Value = 0,564>0,05) ; la taille des ménages (χ2 = 4,688; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,196>0,05). C'est à Parakou, χ2= 18,275; DF = 7; P-Value = 0,011<0,05 et à Djougou, χ2 = 17,108; DF = 9; P-Value = 0,047<0,05, que des liens très significatifs ont été décelés entre le mode d'évacuation des déchets et la catégorie socio-professionnelle des chefs de ménages. Notons aussi qu'aucune relation n'a été statistiquement observée entre le mode d'évacuation des déchets et le niveau de revenu des chefs de ménages à Djougou, χ2= 3,909; DF = 4; P-Value = 0,418>0,05) ; à Kandi, χ2= 2,826; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,419>0,05) et à Malanville, χ2 = 2,482; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,479>0,05). Mais dans les quatre villes, à 100 % un lien associatif très hautement significatif a été observé entre l'évacuation des déchets et le niveau d'instruction des chefs de ménages au niveau global (χ2 = 28,328; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,000 <0,05). L'analyse de régression logistique a par ailleurs révélé une très forte corrélation entre le niveau d'instruction (χ2= 9,439; DF = 3; P-Value = 0,024<0,05 et le mode d'évacuation des déchets au nord-Bénin.
