Abstract

 The research aimed to study on social and environmental success of RDF waste power plant project in Rayong province and to analyze mechanisms and factors affecting social and environmental success of RDF waste power plant . Qualitative data analysis was conducted by documentary research, relating to the comprehensive solid waste management of the RDF Waste Power Plant in Rayong Province, Code of Practice (CoP), implementation of pre-construction to date in social and environmental aspects and interviews from representatives of  RDF waste power plant, The data were analyzed in accordance to the issues of the assessment in Social and Environmental to identify important issues that affected the success of acceptance of people. The lesson learned from the gathered information concerning the waste management leading to the improvement and solution of community waste problems  that enabled effectively of the environmentally friendly process.

            The results of the study was found that mechanisms and factors affecting the success of social and environmental operations of RDF waste power plant , 1) Cooperation with the sector in Thailand was possible for the management of  knowledge of the private sector; it was feasible to drive the project in efficient manner, as well as verifiable, 2) It was in accordance with the principles of good governance by having a waste learning center based on transparency and public participation, 3)Clear communication and consistency including employing local people would enhance and create opportunities for people in the neighboring area around the RDF waste power plant.,and 4) Consistent environmental impact assessments
