THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

The sanitation of a canteen depends on how much all hygiene practices affect health, food
safety, and how well people feel overall. Canteens in schools, workplaces, or public
institutions are often places where food is prepared as well as served to many people.
Foodborne illnesses and contamination may spread easily. Health risks arise if proper
sanitation protocols are not carefully followed. Studying canteen sanitation is important
because:

Proper hygiene in food preparation areas, with utensils and among staff, is key to lowering
the risk of foodborne diseases, contamination, and infections that could harm consumers.

All canteens must comply with all local health and safety regulations. To avoid penalties or
closure, sanitation studies guarantee that the canteen complies with regulations.

Clean, hygienic canteens build trust in consumers. They also build public confidence. If a
canteen keeps things clean, then people may feel safe and comfortable eating there, which
could make the canteen look good.

Investigating all sanitation practices in quality control helps maintain the general quality and
nutritional value of food served because any poorly sanitized environment may lead to food
spoilage or contamination that degrades quality.

Good sanitation saves money by reducing food waste and the costs of pest control or
cleaning. Avoiding many medical expenses connected to all foodborne illness outbreaks is
another potential benefit.

Studying sanitation in all canteens allows one to identify several improvement methods,
implement multiple changes, and guarantee complete public health protection in addition to
overall improved food place performance.
 THE PROBLEM (Separate page)

• Note: State the main and specific problems

• State the possibility for a significant difference and/or significant relationship among
variables

Statement of the Problem

To ensure a safe and healthy environment for students, this study will
examine current sanitation practices in school canteens, identify common
issues, assess their impact on student health, examine adherence to
sanitation regulations, and make recommendations for improving hygiene
standards.

In order to address the research aim, the following sub-problems are taken into

consideration:

1. First, the scope and delimitations of the study should be defined, specifying whether the study will

include rules for the canteens of elementary, secondary or tertiary schools and also whether public or

private institutions will be included. It would also be helpful to define specific hygiene and food quality

issues being examined (eg, food handling, sanitation practices, food contamination, staff training):
:

1.1. hygiene issues in school canteens;

1.2. food quality issues;

1.3. health and hygiene;

1.4. health and sanitation regulations;

1.5. canteen staff members' knowledge and training on hygiene;

 2. Is there are significant relationship between the type of respondents and their

perceptions on the degree of competitiveness of the leisure tourism industry?

3. Is there a significant difference between the perceptions of the primary and

secondary stakeholders on the degree of competitiveness of the leisure tourism industry?

4. In the light of the findings of the study, what leisure tourism enterprise competitiveness

development plan be formulated and implemented to improve the overall performance of

the industry?
