Another problem is the improper behavior of residents of UAD campus associated with littering, and the lack of specific policies related to campus waste management.

Identifikasi hubungan perilaku vandalisme dengan setting taman kota Lumintang, Denpasar, Bali

Identification of relationship between vandalism behavior and setting of lumintang city park, Denpasar, Bali Province. Lumintang City Park Denpasar is one of the green open spaces visited by many people. The high intensity of visits leads to some problems, vandalism is one of them. This research aims to analyze the relevance of vandalism activity with environmental factors, study the relationship between vandalism in each setting and learn the appropriate management system to reduce and analyze the behavior of vandalism. Method used in this research was implemented with the technique of (1) observation, (2) questionnaire distribution, (3) literature study, and (4) data analysis.The results showed that the highest activity carried out was to dispose of the garbage is not in place and the highest object affected by vandalism activity is groundcover. Environmental factors that affect waste disposal activities are out of place, limited waste facilities, the presence of previous garbage and small waste bins, while the setting that affects the placement of facilities is not strategic or not in accordance with the point of gathering visitors.These problems can be upgraded by proper management of settings and facilities by looking at the factors that affect the activities of the vandalism.

Guidelines for Solid Waste Management Approaches at Kerng Sub-District Administrative Under the Maha Sarakham Provincial Administrative Organization

To integrate the problems and needs of solid waste management (SWM) for administering the SWM approach at Kerng Sub-District Administrative Organization (K-SAO) under the Maha Sarakham PAO in Thailand were studied. This SAO increasingly shares in these problem natural limited products and highly vulnerable in 14 villages are arranged with a sample size of 357 people to their perceptions with the Questionnaire on Waste Management (QWM) and the Focus Group Discussion technique in three scales; Waste Collection, Waste Separation, and Waste Disposal scales, the classifications’ problems indicated that of moderate level. according to have their problems and needs, plastics bins are the type of their garbage bins, people collected the collecting SWM by the K-SAO, the households’ memberships have participated in the implementation of the project with social local communities, and took part in solving problems caused by the collection of the SWM on their communities, the K-SAO has been listening to comments of their suggestions and communities’ solving and given advices the burdensome problem of collecting waste to lack of responsibility. Most of guidelines the Waste Collection as to set at least twice a day and the public should be aware of the collection time and carry out their own fermentation. An importance campaign for people to sort out their sales from solid waste as Waste Separation scale was promoted. The Disposal Project Biomass Waste Treatment (MBT) was planned and organized to give pieces of advice for using disposal waste to relate waste collection time of the K-SAO was the guidelines.

Expert drivers are better than non-expert drivers at rejecting unimportant information in static driving scenes

Safe driving is predicated on a driver’s ability to prioritise scene information to segregate hazards and potential hazards from other information, and allocate attention accordingly. Previous research has demonstrated that expert drivers are superior at detecting potential hazards when compared with non-expert drivers. However, hazard perception is a multi-faceted skill involving at least three components: drivers must look at the hazard, then detect it, and finally appraise it and respond appropriately. In the current study, we explored how expert drivers (paramedics, n = 151) and non-expert drivers (n = 189) detect hazards of different threat value. To explore this question, we used a static, driving-related inattentional blindness (IB) task, in which an unexpected object in a critical trial varied from high threat (child running onto the road) to medium threat (pedestrian standing by the road) to low threat (garbage bin next to the road). We hypothesised that experts would have heightened awareness of hazards, which could be reflected as either generally higher rates of noticing objects in the driving scene (lower IB overall), or a heightened ability to prioritise the threat value of objects in the scene (lower IB for high threat, but not low threat objects). The results demonstrated that approx. 90% of drivers, irrespective of expertise, detected high threat objects placed on the side of the road. However, experts were more likely than non-experts to detect medium threat objects (55% of expert drivers vs. 40% of non-expert drivers), whereas the opposite pattern occurred for low threat objects (almost 20% of non-expert drivers noticed low-threat objects, compared with none of the expert drivers). We argue that expertise allows drivers to calibrate a hierarchy of attentional filtering to not only direct attentional resources to locations of interest, but also to explicitly prioritise objects of interest when driving. Importantly, this appears to be due to training rather than years of experience. These results point to the importance of not just increasing awareness while driving, but to develop discriminative capacity to filter out what is unimportant to facilitate safe driving.

Development of desktop-based information system on waste management bank

This paper discusses about computerized system design that can handle the entire process of data collection of garbage, customers and transactions, computerized account creation, and the automatic reporting system.

Mapping the noise in a Greek general hospital

Sound pressure levels were monitored in a general hospital, in Greece, at ten indoor locations and at three outdoor locations, in the yard of the building. The selected indoor locations are representative of distinct activities that are common in every hospital, such as the emergency department, patient wards and several supporting services, like washing the clothes or the dishes. Noise levels were highly variable in each monitoring location and depended on the activities in the room, such as conversations, medical equipment in use, analytical devices or other machinery in operation. The highest noise levels that were recorded were in the blood donation unit and in the laundry room (the L10,8h was 73 and 79 dB(A) respectively), mainly due to the opening/closing of the metal lids of garbage bins in the first location and due to the wringing of the clothes in the second. Indoor background noise levels i.e. the L95,8h values, were more than 55 dB(A) and higher than the respective outdoor values (except of the L95,8h in one ward of the paediatric ward). The calculated average LEX, 8h was 69.3 dB(A), below the European Union lower exposure action limit value, i.e. 87 dB(A), that was set to prevent hearing loss of the employees. However, noise levels in the wards, in the emergency and the outpatient department were above the values suggested by international guidelines for a healing environment. Sound spectra revealed peaks in frequencies that were representative of the sources of the noise and also the presence of low frequency noise components.

Оцінювання сучасного стану парку села Іванівка Уманського району та проект його реконструкції

Встановлено, що насадження парку потребують покращення, оскільки деревні насадження одноманітні, значна кількість дерев представлена гіркокаштаном звичайним (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), що уражується мінуючою міллю, інші дерева також ослаблі, трапляється омела. За межами парку простежується велика кількість омели. Мережа доріжок розвинена слабо, малі архітектурні форми представлені у незначній кількості, на території парку присутні аварійні дерева. Розроблено проект реконструкції парку, який охоплює консервацію дупел, санітарне обрізування та рубання дерев і кущів, формування кущового ярусу у структурі насадження, розширення дорожньо-стежкової мережі. Запроектовано створення кількох рокаріїв з використанням листяних і хвойних кущів, різних трав'яних багаторічників, зокрема й цибулькових. Підібрано асортимент для рокаріїв, щоб він виглядав декоративним протягом року. Заплановано кілька групових посадок із хвойних рослин та солітерів – ялини колючої (Рісеа abies (L.) H. Karst.) та сосни звичайної (Pinus sylvestris L.). Запропоновано встановити елементи благоустрою, такі як: садові лавки, альтанка, ліхтарі, урни для сміття. Навколо альтанки запропоновано створення квітників постійного квітування – міксбордерів. В озелененні використано елементи топіарного мистецтва, а саме: композиції зі стриженого самшиту вічнозеленого (Buxus sempervirens L.) у вигляді куль, а також елементи фітопластики. Композиції з куль самшиту вічнозеленого урізноманітнюємо багаторічником – гостою подорожниковидною (Hosta plantaginea (Lam.) Asch.). Рекомендовано частину парку реконструювати за типом регулярного планування, а частину – за типом пейзажного.

Efficient smart garbage management system using IOT technique

The Proposed Smart Waste Management System is to manage the waste with the help of smart sensors along with data fill-level indication, the garbage existence all over dustbin, containers and garbage bins foul smelling conditions will be sent as an alert to the registered / specified workers as an message. An accredited mobile number that are working in Waste Management Centres gathers fill-level. The remaining of multiple containers information transmitted where it placed all over the marginal location. Gathered data from the above process, utilised for gathering the garbage in a systematic plan and a route-map. Used communication devices in the implemented project transmitted the data from garbage bin to the authorised persons. An eight bit microcontroller i.e Atmega328P regulated the total functionality of this system. This narration demonstrates an effective design of IoT gateway which is utilised for offering the “smart waste management system” framework.

CHALLENGES IN FUSION OF HETEROGENEOUS POINT CLOUDS

Abstract. Different platforms and sensors are used to derive 3d models of urban scenes. 3d reconstruction from satellite and aerial images are used to derive sparse models mainly showing ground and roof surfaces of entire cities. In contrast to such sparse models, 3d reconstructions from UAV or ground images are much denser and show building facades and street furniture as traffic signs and garbage bins. Furthermore, point clouds may also get acquired with LiDAR sensors. Point clouds do not only differ in the viewpoints, but also in their scales and point densities. Consequently, the fusion of such heterogeneous point clouds is highly challenging. Regarding urban scenes, another challenge is the occurence of only a few parallel planes where it is difficult to find the correct rotation parameters. We discuss the limitations of the general fusion methodology based on an initial alignment step followed by a local coregistration using ICP and present strategies to overcome them.

Intelligent Monitoring System for Smart City Using Arduino and Android App

today we see the garbage waste bins are overflowing and all garbage is split out from dust bins, which results into unhygienic condition, illness and bad smell for all people near that area. Hence, we are designing the system based on Arduino for monitoring garbage from particular area to avoid pollution, unhygienic condition, bad smell, etc. The dustbin is interfaced with microcontroller based system having ultrasonic sensor and gas sensor monitoring the status of garbage. When garbage reaches the level of sensor, then that indication will be given to the microcontroller unit and microcontroller sends signal to the user through GSM. So continuous monitoring of garbage bins will keep the environment clean. The app helps the public to get directly connected to the authorities and to know about the current status of facilities in their area. The main aim of this project is to reduce human resources and efforts along with the enhancement of a smart city vision.

Toward zero waste events: Reducing contamination in waste streams with volunteer assistance

Public festivals and events generate a tremendous amount of waste, especially when they involve food and drink. To reduce contamination across waste streams, we evaluated three types of interventions at a public event. In a randomized control trial, we examined the impact of volunteer staff assistance, bin tops, and sample 3D items with bin tops, on the amount of contamination and the weight of the organics, recyclable containers, paper, and garbage bins at a public event. The event was the annual Apple Festival held at the University of British Columbia, which was attended by around 10,000 visitors. We found that contamination was the lowest in the volunteer staff condition among all conditions. Specifically, volunteer staff reduced contamination by 96.1% on average in the organics bin, 96.9% in the recyclable containers bin, 97.0% in the paper bin, and 84.9% in the garbage bin. Our interventions did not influence the weight of the materials in the bins. This finding highlights the impact of volunteers on reducing contamination in waste streams at events, and provides suggestions and implications for waste management for event organizers to minimize contamination in all waste streams to achieve zero waste goals.

Smart garbage collection management system

Waste management is necessary in today's world because, with the growing population, waste generated by the human is also increasing. Million Tons of waste is being produced by the people all over the world every day. If waste is not properly disposed off, it may lead to huge health issues and it may have adverse effects on our environment also. Among all, waste collection and transportation are one of the costliest stages in solid waste management. As the truck driver must go to each bin every single day and check whether the bin is full or not. If the bin is not full, it is not only waste of time but also wastes of fuel for truck and it also increases pollution due to smoke released from trucks, needs more men for checking all the bins in different routes. In this paper, we are going to propose a smart solution for this problem using the Internet of Things. We use an ultrasonic sensor to measure the size of the bin, and raspberry pi to process the information further. This sensor data will be sent to the cloud using Wi-Fi module of raspberry pi, from the cloud the data is sent to android app. When the trash inside the bin crosses the certain threshold level, that bin and its location are shown in the App using google maps, and the current location of the truck driver is detected, and shortest path is shown. By this the garbage bins can be emptied before the dustbin overflow.

Garbage Monitoring System Using IoT

The level of cleanliness is very much important in the country. Due to poor garbage monitoring system, we see the garbage bins being overloaded and spills out from the bins causing pollution. To overcome this problem essentially, this project is designed which is about collecting the most amount of materials in the short period which is also cost efficient[1]. The project is designed in such a manner that it is supposed to work with all type of bins which contain any type of waste materials which may be mixed materials like papers, glass, metals and fluids[5]. This project also includes grinding system. When the blade rotates, it breaks waste materials into small powdery particles, so that large amount of wastes can be dumped in the bin and also it will be a time efficient[3]. This process have a fully functioning IoT prototype, project design also consists of ultrasonic sensor for detecting whether the bin is filled with waste or not and arduino for transfer of data[6].
