“…Routing Problem (VRP) as a range of problems with a number of routes and a number of vehicles that are in one or several depots that must be determined so that they can serve all consumers in several cities [19]. The problem of vehicle routes is a common problem because each vehicle must travel in the study area and visit all trash bins [20], does not have a time limit when to start and stop at a service at a different node. this is contrary to scheduling containing the time, must be repaired first, and services at each node must be completed [16].…”

“…Geographical Information System (GIS) modeling has been developed and used as a support tool in waste transportation in recent years because of technological developments and increasing proportions and the complexity of spatial information [21] and in accordance with the era of technology 4.0. Transporting waste using spatial modeling and GIS can give benefits for the environment and significant economic savings such as travel time reduction, distance, fuel consumption, and pollutant emissions [20,22,23].…”

Waste transportation is a part of complex waste management. Waste transportation will be influenced by the growth of waste. To simplify the implementation of garbage transportation, a waste transportation model is needed. Various wastes transportation models have been developed to explain the process of transporting garbage. The garbage transport model is basically designed to simplify the transportation system so that the behavior of several components in the system can be known. One of the models that can be used in the garbage transportation system is GIS. GIS is a spatial and computerized waste-based modeling, so in era 4.0 this modeling of waste transportation using GIS was needed. This paper aims to discuss the modeling of waste transportation using GIS has been carried out in various regions. The discussion of the paper discusses the use of GIS in waste transportation, a factor that influences GIS in waste transportation.

“…The second group includes several proposals in developing countries (Keser et al, 2012) as well as in high-income countries (Ericsson et al, 2006;Anghinolfi et al, 2013;Santos et al, 2008;Zamorano et al, 2009;Gallardo and Bernad, 2011;Rada et al, 2010). GIS is also used to perform MSW management as it provides a powerful context in which to import, to manage and to analyse spatial data (Anghinolfi et al, 2013;Chalkias and Lasaridi 2011). In this sense, it is a suitable tool for producing a MSW map.…”

“…Karadimas and Loumos (2008) considered that GIS would allow the process of waste planning and management to be automated. Chalkias and Lasaridi (2011) identified two main categories of GIS-based waste management applications in the international literature: the first one refers to the GIS used to select the location of the waste facilities, and the second one is concerned with GIS-supported waste management applications related to waste collection. The second group includes several proposals in developing countries (Keser et al, 2012) as well as in high-income countries (Ericsson et al, 2006;Anghinolfi et al, 2013;Santos et al, 2008;Zamorano et al, 2009;Gallardo and Bernad, 2011;Rada et al, 2010).…”

Methodology to design a municipal solid waste generation and composition map: A case study

Revista:Waste Management, 2014, 34.11 Versión / Versió: Post-print Cita bibliográfica / Cita bibliogràfica (ISO 690):GALLARDO, A., et al. Methodology to design a municipal solid waste generation and composition map: A case study. Waste Management, 2014Management, , 34.11: 1920Management, -1931. ABSTRACTThe Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is an important task that local governments as well as private companies must take into account to protect human health, the environment and to preserve natural resources. To design an adequate MSW management plan the first step consist in defining the waste generation and composition patterns of the town. As these patterns depend on several socio-economic factors it is advisable to organize them previously. Moreover, the waste generation and composition patterns may vary around the town and over the time. Generally, the data are not homogeneous around the city as the number of inhabitants is not constant nor it is the economic activity. Therefore, if all the information is showed in thematic maps, the final waste management decisions can be made more efficiently. The main aim of this paper is to present a structured methodology that allows local authorities or private companies who deal with MSW to design its own MSW management plan depending on the available data. According to these data, this paper proposes two ways of action: a direct way when detailed data are available and an indirect way when there is a lack of data and it is necessary to take into account bibliographic data. In any case, the amount of information needed is considerable. This paper combines the planning methodology with the Geographic Information Systems to present the final results in thematic maps that make easier to interpret them. The proposed methodology is a previous useful tool to organize the MSW collection routes including the selective collection. To verify the methodology it has been successfully applied to a Spanish town.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based information system using special tools to manage location-based data and their attributes for decision-making. Geospatial functions cut across many fields and support problem solving through geodata design and analysis. GIS have been used, for example, in environmental conservation and wildlife management. Its use in tourism planning, development and management, and marketing of destination products is only a more recent approach. The adoption of the technology affects both the sustainability of environmental resources and the quality of tourists' experience. The purpose of this chapter is, first, to explore the functionalities and usage potentials of GIS in the tourism domain. Second, two studies of Maasai Mara Game Reserve and Nairobi National Park portray how GIS and satellite remote sensing imagery is applied to assess the ecosystem's changes, their causes, and major implications. Examination of Landsat satellite image data for 2000 and 2017 shows that due to conversion of areas to farmlands and settlements, the coverage of Mau Forest Complex, the main catchment area for the Mara ecosystem, had reduced by 30.2% and vegetation by 22.8%. The analysis of Nairobi National Park showed that the Kitengela wildlife migration corridor has been completely encroached by human settlement and mining activities, thus seriously compromising the performance of the ecosystem. Mapping of human development pressure on the ecosystem using GIS technologies can be used to assess and manage the tourism resources potential in conjunction to biodiversity conservation as a critical element in improving wildlife as a tourism destination product.
