Abstract
Planning of waste management system in urban area should take into consideration many legal, technological, financial, economic, technical, ecological, social and spatial aspects. The aim of the paper is to propose the method, which can be helpful in planning procedure of waste management system in European cities or regions, which comprise with following steps: identification of produced volume and municipal solid waste characteristics in the region for providing grounds to design a technological system, identification of other financial, economic, legal, social aspects for creation of waste management scenarios, definition of the criteria allowing evaluate designed waste management scenarios based on plan requirements, make an the multi-criteria analysis for choosing the best scenario in the region. Such analyses were conducted to evaluate the proposed different waste management systems in city of Cracow in 2000, 2004 and 2007. This comparison of theses systems shows that evaluating criteria were tightened as a result of toughening regulations of both Polish and the EU laws.

Waste Management System as a Base for Planning. The Act on Waste [1] sets out the form and scope of these plans, the scope is very general. These plans can be a tool for setting targets at national and local level, and present challenges to local authorities and to plan necessary facilities. To achieve sustainable waste management the complex system should be implemented for every urban area. The complex waste management system should allow achieve many inconsistent goals: technical, legal, economic, ecological, spatial, and social.
