Ijca Proceedings on National Conference on Innovative Paradigms in Engineering and Technology, 2012
Uncontrolled growth of the urban population in developing countries in recent years has made solid waste management an important issue, so the system for collection of solid waste thus constitutes an important component of an effective solid waste management system. In present study describes an attempt is made to design and develop an appropriate collection plan by Geographical Information System (GIS) software for the Laxmi Nagar at Nagpur, a Orange city in Maharashtra, India. A GIS optimal routing model was designed for efficient collection path for municipal solid waste to minimum time, labor, distance efficient collection paths for the solid wastes. A present study is also aimed to proposed location of community BIN. The total cost of the proposed collection systems is estimated to be around 3, 52,225 rupees for the annual operating cost of municipal solid waste collection. A substantial amount 4, 03,200 rupees is currently being spent by Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC)on waste collection alone without any proper storage/collection system.
Using GIS in Solid Waste Management Planning : A case study for Aurangabad, India
2006
Waste management is a global environmental issue which concerns about a very significant problem in today's world. There is a considerable amount of disposal of waste without proper segregation which has lead to both economic and environment sufferings. It is still practiced in many cities. There is a tremendous amount of loss in terms of environmental degradation, health hazards and economic descend due to direct disposal of waste. It is better to segregate the waste at the initial stages where it is generated, rather than going for a later option which is inconvenient and expensive. There has to be appropriate planning for proper waste management by means of analysis of the waste situation of the area. This paper would deal with, how Geographical Information System can be used as a decision support tool for planning waste management. A model is designed for the case study area in an Indian city for the purpose of planning waste management. The suggestions for amendments in the system through GIS based model would reduce the waste management workload to some extent and exhibit remedies for some of the SWM problems in the case study area. The waste management issues are considered to solve some of the present situation problems like proper allocation and relocation of waste bins, check for unsuitability and proximity convenience due to waste bin to the users, proposal of recyclable waste bins for the required areas and future suggestions. The model will be implemented on the Aurangabad city's case study area data for the analysis and the results will suggest some modification in the existing system which is expected to reduce the waste management workload to a certain extent.

The population growth in many urban cities and its urban activities in developing countries have resulted in an increased generation rate of municipal solid waste(MSW), an important issue. In the process of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system in which, collection activities contributed the most of total cost that is paid for MSW collection activities by city’s citizen; and transport activities are required 60-70% of total cost that is the total expenditures spent on the transport, transfer, disposal and treatment of MSW by city authorities. Hence optimization of routing system, systematization of collection, transport and transfer activities is the important components for an effective MSWM system. This article describes the current problems and the improvement of the management activities in a city of Chandigarh. An integrated MSWM assessment model is proposed and used as a decision support tool for daily efficient operations such as collection/ transport path management...
Municipal Solid Waste Management using GIS Application in Mirpur Area of Dhaka City, Bangladesh
Identifying Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal sites and appropriately managing them is a challenging task to many developing countries like Bangladesh. It is a complex issue in an urban area, as increasing population levels, rapid economic growth and rise in community living standard, accelerates the generation rate of MSW. The study area is zone-2 (Mirpur-Pallabi) of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) (10.40 km 2) is a residential area, from where about 353.34 ton/day solid waste is generated and among them about 57.43% were managed by DNCC. There are 41 different size containers present at 17 locations in study area. The existing site and waste collecting containers are not sufficient, which deteriorates the environment due to illegal waste dumping and about 15 illegal dumping sites were identified. To identify proper waste dumping site and prevent contamination, Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to propose an efficient scenario with relocating the existing waste collecting containers and another scenario was proposed with number of containers (73) to attain an 93.68% waste collection efficiency including optimization and selection of waste collecting routes for the study area. This study also indicate that the application of GIS is an efficient and low cost tool to study and select appropriate dumping site so as to facilitate decision making processes.

IRJET, 2022
Over the last few decades rapid industrialization, rural to urban migration and high population growth have induced rapid urbanization world over and India is no exception. Consequently, the problems associated with urban solid waste management have acquired an alarming dimension. It is observed that the per capita solid waste generation rate in India has increased from 0.5 kg per day in 2011 to 0.7 kg per day in 2020.This has pressurized the existing systems resulting in adverse impacts on human health and environment. Though concerted efforts have been put in by urban administration, there is vast scope for introduction of state-of-the-art system to collect, process, dispose, or reuse the solid wastes in a cost-effective manner considering technical, geographic, socio-cultural, industrial, infrastructural, legal, and environmental factors associated with it in an integrated manner. Ichalkaranji is one of the fastest growing cities, presently generating about 110 metric tons of solid waste per day. In this study, an attempt is made to assess the present status of Solid Waste Management System (SWMS) in Ichalkaranji city and compare it with Swachh Bharat Mission’s Municipal Solid Waste Management Rule 2016 clauses and finally suggest various improvements in view of future expansions. The work includes extensive use of Arc-GIS involving overlay and proximity analysis. The study covers the aspects such as region wise generation of solid waste and infrastructure for its collection, processing and disposal, or Reuse. It is concluded that better planning, management and effective implementation of solid waste management system can be achieved using these modern tools so that clean urban environment for various cities in the country is ensured.
Municipal Solid Waste Management using GIS Analysis: A Case Study of Sehwan City
Sir Syed University research journal of engineering and technology, 2023
One of the fundamental issues of the 21 st century and one of the key tasks of a municipal administration is to manage solid waste effectively and efficiently. Cities are developing extremely, and the issue of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is becoming critical due to the growth in quantity and complexity of generated waste and the shortage of land for its disposal. By 2050, the world's waste creation is expected to have increased more than doubled the rate of population increase. The area is mostly residential, and most of the solid waste is created in the home, such as food and vegetable waste. There are few bins placed in Sehwan city and those are not placed at the proper locations, due to this reason inhabitants of the city are throwing their municipal waste on the street's sides and vacant plots. The research aim of the study was to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. This research contained three objectives; identifying the existing MSW management condition and their effect on different factors such as health and the environment; reallocation of waste collection bins in the study area using GIS buffer analysis; and proposing a route plan for the collection of MSW using GIS network analysis. Furthermore, based on GIS technology, this work provides a framework for optimizing the waste collection and transportation system. The GIS method includes the digitization of a map showing the current placement of bins and the actual condition of solid waste. Through the digitized map, the location of bins can be analyzed, by using some proximity distance. A 50m buffer is used to see the proximity distance of bins, and a 20m buffer is also used around sensitive buildings. The new dataset of the road helped to see the road edges and junctions in the city. Road junctions and proximity distance route plans were made for the research study area. The result showed that the misplacement of waste bins in Sehwan city affects the environment, waste laying around the bins causes land pollution, and also municipal waste on road affects the health of people. More than 82% of the inhabitants are unsatisfied with the management of the solid waste disposal system in the study area also 90% of residents are suffering from different diseases. This study will help the planner and authorities cope with municipal solid waste issues. Municipal authorities must follow technologies and research studies to solve the solid waste issues of people in their local areas.
Khulna is the third largest metropolitan city of Bangladesh and well-known as an industrial city. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the useless and discarded materials considering the place produced mainly by daily activities. With the rapid growth of population, amount of MSW is also increasing in Khulna city. So, it is necessary to ensure effective collection and disposal of MSW and route of collection and disposal is a very important factor here. This study focuses to develop an optimized route plans having minimum travel distance regarding to accessibility of road for collection and disposal of MSW from secondary disposal site (SDS) to ultimate disposal site (UDS) in this city using GIS. The present study reveals that there is no systematic time and route plan for the storage, collection and disposal of MSW from SDS to UDS. There are more than 40 SDSs are available from where Khulna City Corporation (KCC) vehicles are collected the MSW and approximately 26 Haul Containers (HCs) and 1200 community bins, located on roadsides throughout the city. To investigate the present situation of SDSs and the existing collection and disposal route network, questionnaire and interview survey has been conducted and the feedback was recorded. Moreover, transportation facilities, types of vehicles were investigated and finally the Lat-Lon of SDSs, KCC garage and UDS were recorded using GPS to point out the locations. After collecting all the required information, optimized route plans were developed in GIS using ArcGIS through network Analyst tool.
