“…density of buildings/trees/population, tree height, location of buildings/forests and age of buildings), and then to use the inventory data, so as to estimate the waste volumes (Pham et al, 2014;Askarizadeh et al, 2017;Askarizadeh et al, 2016;Poudel et al, 2018;Thompson et al, 2011;Garcia-Torres et al, 2017). Such a method can be used not only to estimate the data of waste volumes in the aftermath of a disasters, but also to predict the potential waste generation in the period of pre-disaster (Tabata et al, 2016;Tabata et al, 2018).…”

Disaster waste management received increasing attention in recent year, but there was no review updating the evolving development after the study of Brown et al. (2011a). To explore how the topics in disaster waste management evolved in recent years and to analyze whether the gaps identified by Brown et al. (2011a) are covered, 82 papers published from 2011 to 2019 were selected from the Scopus database based on the defined process and criteria, to systematically examine the disaster waste management research from nine aspects of planning, waste, waste treatment options, environment, economics, social considerations, organizational aspects, legal frameworks and funding. The results suggested that there were no obvious changes or developments in the field of disaster waste management, although a few research gaps have been addressed, such as waste separation, waste quantities, case studies of incineration and waste to energy, direct economic effects, social considerations as well as application of GIS technology. Except for the comparative studies, future directions were suggested by the gaps that persist since Brown et al. (2011a) and the new gaps that were identified in this review.

“…Based on related literature [3,5,9,16,17] and the questionnaire data analysis, a procedural method has been suggested for managing the post-disaster waste in Iraq; Figure 3 shows the flow chart of the suggested procedure. (Suggested forms can be found in Appendix I.…”

“…Disasters come in two types, natural (earthquakes and floods) and man-made (conflicts and wars), and these disasters have a considerable effect on the environment such as the destruction of buildings and infrastructure as well as social and physical effects [2]. All types of disaster create large volumes of waste that vary according to the nature and severity of the disaster [3]. The volume of waste generated by disasters in a short period exceeds twice the volume of annual waste generated in peacetime [4].…”

The increasing number of disasters (natural or man-made) worldwide has made post-disaster waste management an essential aspect of disaster recovery. This is obvious in Iraq where the Iraqi government faces an important challenge regarding the events of 2014 (ISIS gang conflict) and the accumulation of huge volumes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste resulting from military operations and terrorist destruction. Field surveys by the specialist teams estimated the amount of waste at about 10 million tons in the Nineveh governorate only, much of which comprises potentially useful materials that could be reused or recycled in the reconstruction process. This paper investigates the obstacles to the sustainable management of such waste in the Nineveh governorate. A pilot questionnaire survey of 76 experts working in the waste management sector was carried out to identify the obstacles to the sustainable management of accumulated waste in the Nineveh governorate. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 23.0. Based on the identified obstacles, a procedural method of managing post-war waste that accumulated in Iraq has been created. The paper illustrates several conclusions in the strategic, economic, social, and environmental sectors to address identified gaps in sustainable waste management in Iraq. It is hoped that this study’s results will support post-disaster sustainable development goals in Iraq.

“…The response of a waste management system to the consequences of a natural disaster was analyzed by Tabata et al (2016). The natural disaster can result in a significant increase of waste originating from household consumer durables, and the waste management system needs to be dimensioned so as to adequately respond to such events.…”
