Keywords:

Rapid urbanization and population growth have intensified environmental challenges such as waste generation, energy consumption, and resource depletion. Sustainable household practices play a vital role in mitigating environmental degradation and promoting ecological balance in urban areas. This study examines the level of awareness and adoption of sustainable practices among urban households, focusing on waste management, energy conservation, water usage, and eco-friendly consumption. Using a quantitative survey-based approach, data were collected from urban residents. The findings indicate a moderate level of awareness regarding sustainability, but a relatively lower rate of actual adoption of sustainable practices. Economic constraints, lack of infrastructure, and limited policy incentives emerged as major barriers. The study highlights the need for integrated awareness programs and policy interventions to encourage sustainable urban living.
