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.

The solid waste materials in cities are the natural outcome of human activities. Provision of such system appears to be a major problem due to the complication and the wide nature of waste production. Due to the different parameters involved, deciding upon a suitable location is also very complicated, costly and time consuming. Different criteria are working in determination of an appropriate place for disposal; each of them is of high importance and may cause specific restrictions as to the selection of the location. The ultimate aim of these criteria is the selection of a site that is likely to have at least possible detrimental environmental effect on the nearby area. The pollution of underground water and soil of surrounding area can be considered as some of these bad effects. However, geospatial system can serve as an efficient way of employing and managing various data that can be utilized in locating more appropriate places for the disposal of solid waste. The methodology being implemented utilized geospatial technology for management and visualization of spatial data while fuzzy logic sets is used in searching the best location for landfill.

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.

Environmentally acceptable management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has become a challenge due to limited resources, increasing population and rapid urbanization. Kolkata city, with an area of 187.33 km 2 and a population of about 10 million (including a floating population of about 6 million), generates about 3,500 MT of solid waste per day. Daily disposal rate of solid waste at Dhapa exceeds 3,000 MT d-1 while at Garden Reach the disposal is 100-150 MT d-1. Conservancy staff collects waste from households and streets and dumps them at skips/MS containers (55%) or at open vats (45%). Collected waste is transported directly to disposal ground at Dhapa by KMC departmental vehicles and KMC-hired vehicles. Lack of proper planning and inadequate data regarding solid waste generation and collection compound the solid waste management problem. GIS as a tool can recognise, correlate and analyse relationship between spatial and non-spatial data-it can thus be used as a decision support tool for efficient management of the different functional elements solid waste e.g. bin location, number of bins required, waste transportation, generating work schedules for workers and vehicles. This study examines GIS application in assisting locational analysis of waste bins in Kolkata and optimise the overall solid waste collection process.

Urban solid waste disposal is a major problem, faced by majority of cities or towns in the world. Rapidly increasing population growth, urbanization, industrialization and rural to urban migration created acute problem of solid waste management. Solid waste per capita generation rate in India has increased from 0.44 kg per day in 2001 to 0.5 kg per day in 2011. These increasing rates of waste generation stress on all infrastructural, natural and budgetary resources with adverse impacts on human health and environment due to the improper and unscientific solid waste dumping. Pune is one of the fastest growing city, it generates total quantity of waste is about 1300 to 1400 metric tons per day. So, there is need suitable solid waste disposal sites for prevention of environment. The present research work to find out the suitable solid waste dumping sites using Geoinformatics approach for Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). For this purpose topographical maps and medium resolution satelli...

The problem of the ever-increasing generation of waste becomes more acute with inadequate environmental management, leads to environmental problems and highlights the ineffectiveness of society when using its resources. This paper presents a study to assess the current situation of generation and management of waste in the province of Castellon (Spain). The study involves the creation of an inventory of waste produced in each municipality in the province, including different waste categories and their breakdown by fractions. The destination of the different types of waste and the treatments applied to them are also determined. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to carry out this study. This enables the integration of spatial and alphanumeric information related to both the sources of waste generation and waste treatment facilities. The GIS enables geographical representation of the data collected on thematic maps, and provides tools for spatial analysis of these data. Spatial analysis is useful for locating problems in waste management and proposing strategies to improve the present situation. Finally, a web map viewer is developed in order to disseminate the results. The web viewer provides access to the digital maps on waste obtained from the study.

Abstract Solid waste is the households refusal and non-hazardous solid waste from industrial, commercial and institutional establishments such as hospitals, market waste, yard waste and street sweepings. Arua municipality faces challenges of managing solid waste which is the inefficiency of its management i.e. the waste collection times are not known to the people, coverage of collection system is small as there are few waste collection vehicles to pick waste from the whole municipality. There is limited resource such as revenue to fund the collection of this waste for example in Oli division, waste is collected once a week and in some areas has led to health problems especially during rainy seasons. This results from the inadequacy of supervision, poor monitoring and control mechanism. This led to the need for the development of the integrated mobile technology and Geographical Information System (GIS) as tool for waste management. The tool helps in monitoring the activities of waste collectors, supervisors and the residents. This is done by scheduling for time for waste collection, viewing the collections points that have been picked and not picked, registering complaints by residents, identifying next collection point and sending notifications to the residents in case of changes in schedules hence improving efficiency of management, reduce time and cost of management. Key Words: Solid Waste, Solid Waste Management, Mobile Technology, Geographical Information System
