“…However, previous studies in the field of solid waste management have used spatial data imbedded in geographic information systems (GIS) for evaluating, visualising, and optimising the logistics of waste collection systems [13,14]. In the context of faecal sludge management, Kennedy-Walker et al [15] implemented a model-based approach to reduce transport time of faecal sludge.…”

Abstract:The majority of residents in low-and middle-income countries are served by onsite sanitation. Equitable access to sanitation, including emptying, collection, and transport services for the accumulation of faecal sludge remains a major challenge. Comprehensive information on service coverage by mechanical faecal sludge emptying service providers is lacking. The purpose of this study is to analyse the spatial distribution of service coverage and identify areas without faecal sludge emptying services in Kampala, Uganda. The study uses GIS (geographic information systems) as a tool to analyse real-time data of service providers based on GPS (global positioning system) units that were installed in a representative number of trucks. Of the total recorded 5653 emptying events, 27% were located outside Kampala city boundaries. Of those within Kampala city boundaries, 37% were classified as non-household customers. Areas without service provision accounted for 13% of the total area. Service provision normalised by population density revealed much greater service provision in medium-and high-income areas than low-and very low-income areas. The employed method provides a powerful tool to optimise faecal sludge management on a city-wide scale by increasing sustainability of the planning and decision-making process, increasing access to service provision and reducing faecal sludge transport times and costs.

“…Se ha encontrado también que en los países en desarrollo, se apoyan de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) para estudiar aspectos de selección, optimización de rutas y aceptación pública para encontrar el sitio adecuado de disposición final de residuos, que genere el mínimo impacto social (Khan y Samadder, 2014); vale la pena destacar la República de Serbia con estudios enfocados al campo práctico de la recolección de los residuos generados en construcción, basándose en un proceso de jerarquía analítica (AHP) y enfatizando que el impulso institucional-administrativo es el más importante para el desarrollo de un sistema de gestión de residuos sostenible (Tot et al, 2016).…”

ResumenEn esta investigación se relaciona la ubicación de las escombreras en la ciudad de Manizales, con base en su accesibilidad, que está determinada por la red de infraestructura vial. Se cuenta con un total de siete puntos donde es posible almacenar escombros provenientes de obras civiles en construcción. Con la ayuda y utilización del software ArcGIS® y de las herramientas internas de Spatial Analyst® y Geostatistical Analyst® se aplica el método de los caminos mínimos (Kriging Ordinario); con los resultados obtenidos e información de la ciudad de Manizales, se plantean tiempos de cobertura de las variables área, población y vivienda en toda la zona urbana de la ciudad. Además, se identificaron geográficamente las obras civiles en ejecución para relacionar tiempos medios mínimos de viaje al depósito de escombros más cercano. Finalmente se hace una comparación entre los sitios de escombreras que se encuentran en funcionamiento y los nuevos designados por la ley, obteniendo un mejor panorama y comprensión de la situación actual en la ciudad de Manizales. Palabras clave: accesibilidad; escombreras; geo estadística; Kriging; SIG Analysis of Accessibility to Solid Waste Disposal Sites. The case of the Debris Dumps in the City of Manizales-Colombia AbstractIn this research the location of debris dumps in the city of Manizales is analyzed, based on their accessibility, which is determined by the network of road infrastructure: The city has a total of seven legal points where it is possible to store debris from construction sites. The analysis was developed with the help and use of ArcGIS software, internal tools from Geostatistical Analyst® and Spatial Analyst®. The method of minimum paths (Ordinary Kriging) including information from the city of Manizales such as population and housing throughout the urban area to calculate accessibility by time coverage of the city area. Also, construction sites and projects where geographically located to relate average minimum travel time to the nearest debris´ dump. Finally a comparison between dump sites that are in operation and new ones permitted by law is done, to obtain a better view and understanding of the current situation in the city of Manizales.

Analysis of Multi-Criteria Evaluation Method of Landfill Site Selection for Municipal Solid Waste Management

et al. 2018

Abstract. Landfilling remains the most common systematic technique of solid waste disposal in most of the developed and developing countries. Finding a suitable site for landfill is a very challenging task. Landfill site selection process aims to provide suitable areas that will protect the environment and public health from pollution and hazards. Therefore, various factors such as environmental, physical, socio-economic, and geological criteria must be considered before siting any landfill. This makes the site selection process vigorous and tedious because it involves the processing of large amount of spatial data, rules and regulations from different agencies and also policy from decision makers. This allows the incorporation of conflicting objectives and decision maker preferences into spatial decision models. This paper particularly analyzes the multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) method of landfill site selection for solid waste management by means of literature reviews and surveys. The study will help the decision makers and waste management authorities to choose the most effective method when considering landfill site selection.
