dc.description.abstractThis study aimed at answering the question: “What is the level of compliance on DENR Administrative Order (DAO) 2004-08, Chemical Control Order (CCO) in Region I?” Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions: (1) What is the demographic profile of service shop owners, service technicians, stakeholders, and dealers, retailers and resellers; (2) What is the level of awareness of the respondents on the DAO 2004-08, CCO; (3) What is the level of compliance of the respondents on the DAO 2004-08, CCO; (4) What is the degree of problems encountered by the four groups of respondents on their compliance on the DAO 2004-08, CCO; and (5) Are there significant relationships of the profile, level of awareness, level of compliance, and problems of the four groups of respondents? The study made use of the descriptive survey method of research. A survey questionnaire was prepared and used as the main tool in gathering data. Except for the level of awareness in which the questions were common, all four groups of respondents were given different questionnaires on the profile, level of compliance, and problems encountered on their compliance of the DAO 2004-08, CCO. One hundred eight service shop owners, 80 service technicians, 110 stakeholders which included 100 vehicle owners and 10 building owners, and eight dealers/retailers/resellers were considered respondents in this study. The service shop owners were predominantly male (88.9%), married (85.2%), one-third of them had a capitalization of Php100,000, almost half of them (44.4%) had been in the RAC/MAC servicing business, almost all (99.1%) of them had their shops registered with and accredited by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), rendering service largely on domestic refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC), mobile air conditioning system (MAC), and RAC and MAC system (96.3%), majority had a CFC consumption of 87% per year, and three- fourths (75.0%) of them had a shop rating of one (1) star. Almost all (97.5%) of the service technicians surveyed were males, more than six-tenths (65.0%) were married, many (25.0% and 28.8%) of them had completed a one-year technical course and a two-year technical course, respectively. There were 41.3% of the service technician respondents whose servicing experience spanned from 1 to 5 years and 36.3% had 6-10 years. This group rendered services varying from domestic refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC), 25.0%; mobile air conditioning (MAC), 38.8%; and RAC and MAC system, 32.5%. Accordingly, 48.8% of the service technicians had acquired training and certificate from the Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and 43.8% of them had their training on Retrofitting, Recovery and Recycling (3Rs). Among the vehicle owner respondents, 67% were males and all of the building owners were also males. About two-thirds (66.0%) of the vehicle owner respondents were married while all building owners were married. Most (58.0%) of the vehicle owners were over 40 years old and almost the same number for building owners belonged to over 40 years old level (60%). Almost half (49.0%) of the vehicle owners were college graduates while all of the building owners were college graduates. Vehicle and building owners alike were very supportive of sustaining ideal families as 33.0% to 45.0% and 40.0% to 60.0% of them, respectively had 1-2 and 2-4 direct dependents or children. Almost half (43.0%) of the vehicle owner respondents earned an approximate annual family income of more than Php100,000.00, while majority (60.0%) of the building owners had annual income ranging from Php80,001.00 to Php100,000.00. More than nine- tenths (94.0%) of these owners used CFC in their vehicles with air conditioning system. On the other hand, all of the building owners used CFC in their buildings with centralized air conditioning system. Majority (62.5%) of the dealer respondents were males, married (87.5%), and with less than Php100,000.00 capitalization (50%). Half of the respondents had been in operation from 6-10 years and 62.5% of them had Environment Management Bureau registration. Half of them reported that they consumed less than 100kg CFC per year. The groups of shop owners, service technicians and dealers/retailers/resellers had significantly higher awareness level than the group of stakeholders. On compliance, the service shop owners fully complied with the requirements for DTI Accreditation having the highest rating of 3.83 while record keeping was rated lowest with a mean of 3.35. All but one of the requirements, however, was fully complied by the group of technicians. Compliance of the stakeholders on the hand was highest only at a rating of 2.73 while those of the dealers and retailers had perfect rating on DTI and SEC registration. The difficulty in identifying or determining the genuineness or refrigerants was considered a very serious problem by the service shop owners (2.80) and service technicians (2.67). On the part of the stakeholders and dealers/retailers, their major problem was the proliferation of fake, blended and smuggled refrigerant (2.33 and 2.50, respectively). Level of awareness of service shop owners significantly correlate with some of their demographic profiles such as capital investment, type of service rendered, and service shop rating as shown by their corresponding correlation coefficients rs of 0.207, 0.287 and 0.197, respectively. Between respondents’ levels of awareness and compliance, a significant correlation, being 0.485, was established. The same trend was established between the shop owners’ level of awareness and degree of seriousness of problems they encountered. A correlation coefficient of 0.343 indicates that the degree of seriousness of problems tends to increase the shop owners’ level of awareness. Significant relationships existed between the service technicians’ level of awareness and their demographic profiles such as highest educational attainment and trainings attended with r-values of 0.272 and 0.353, respectively. The level of compliance improved with their educational attainment, type of services rendered, and trainings attended as indicated statistically by the r-values of 0.222, 0.246 and 0.308, respectively. By and large, however, the technicians’ level compliance seems to be getting high with their improved level of awareness (r-value = 0.539). A significant result on the relationships of levels of awareness and compliance of stakeholders (r-value = 0.806) was also established. As to the relationships of levels of awareness and compliance of stakeholders (r-value = 0.806), it could be said that the latter improves with the former, that is, the more aware the stakeholders are, the more compliant they would be. On the same manner, knowing and understanding deeper the problems, the more compliant the stakeholders are (r-value = 0.535), and the more aware they become (r-value = 0.555). Among the above variables, it was only between levels of awareness and compliance of dealers that significant correlation existed (r-value = 0.803), along operational permit requirement and compliance (r-value = 0.780).
