Issues on planning of solid waste management scheme through evaluation in integrated data information system

Abstract

Solid waste management is an important issue and substantial amount of total expenditures is spent on the collection of solid waste by authorities. The design and development of a GIS based solid waste management information system as a decision making and planning tool can help in organizing the waste collection and disposal system. The Optimization of the routing system for collection and transport of solid waste thus constitutes an important component of an effective solid waste management system. The waste collection and transportation is the involving point between waste generators and waste management systems. The Geospatial system involves integration of data as per the chosen criteria to obtain suitable land fill sites along with location of waste bins, capacity and number of waste bins. The use of network module for evolving the least impedance path has been found to be useful for arriving at the mileage of vehicles based on the computation of distance travelled by every vehicle decided on the basis of number of people served in every ward of the area. The details of the same have been given in the paper.Solid waste management is an important issue and substantial amount of total expenditures is spent on the collection of solid waste by authorities.
