Barriers to the Implementation of Environmental Management Measures in the Operation of Shop- House Enterprises in Bangkok Metropolitan Area
Shop-house enterprises in Bangkok Metropolitan have so far been the best alternative of the
citizens to earn income. At the same time, these enterprises also generate negative environmental
and health consequences. While facing this dilemmatic situation, the implementation of
environmental management measures (EMMs) to deal with environmental and health impacts
generated by the enterprises is not presently practical. We identified some potential barriers.
However, which one is the most influencing barrier to EMMs we must identify it. The study
attempts to understand perceptions of different group of randomly selected stakeholders on the
most influencing barriers given fourteen potential barriers to EMMs in Bangkok Metropolitan.
The analysis shows that there are four essential barriers as perceived by the stakeholders that
needs in-depth attention for the practical application of EMMs. By these critical barriers, policies
should be directed to cope appropriately with the issues to accomplish better performance
of shop-house enterprises in terms of environment and health
