“…Communication is one of the most important approaches for MSW management (Falcone et al 2020 ; Paul and Bussemaker 2020 ; Waste-Management 2020 ). A communication gap may break down the chain of custody for MSW management strategies, whether during the COVID-19 pandemic or at other times.…”

“…This can help to manage waste without any unnecessary prohibition during the pandemic. In addition, engaging with the community can play a pivotal role in effective and safe MSW management by reducing waste generation and allowing safe disposal of waste (Falcone et al 2020 ).…”

“…Meanwhile, nonbiodegradable waste can be used for pavement and construction processes (Malinauskaite et al 2017 ). Therefore, when appropriate treatment methodologies are adopted, different types of waste can be utilized based on their origin and composition (Velvizhi et al 2020 ); this strategy can offer opportunities for resource utilization, its subsequent optimization, and the sustainable economic development of a country (Falcone et al 2020 ; Fan et al 2020 ; Velvizhi et al 2020 ).…”

Municipal solid waste (MSW) represents an inevitable by-product of human activity and a major crisis for communities across the globe. In recent times, the recycling of MSW has drawn attention as the process can add value through resources from the recovered waste materials and facilitates the process of circular economy. However, during the unprecedented coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the risk of infection with the highly contagious virus has proven detrimental to the continuation of MSW as a valuable resource. The volume of waste, especially household waste, is higher; face masks, PPE (personal protective equipment), and hazardous materials such as batteries and empty chlorine bottles are examples of extra waste that have arisen during the pandemic. Various countries have set up initiatives for MSW management, including safety measurements for employees in the MSW management sector. The use of disinfectant prior to sorting waste, as well as storing waste for 9 days, may help to inactivate the COVID-19 virus, ensuring an appropriate safety level for MSW management. This work aimed at studying different MSW management strategies, specific challenges, and possible solutions for better understanding for those involved in waste management, in addition to providing a possible management strategy during and post-COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Particular participation in this process will be related to social participation and the role of residents in making decisions about the shape of the region in which they live. Taking into account the voice of residents is the key to determining how to use public space and adapt the city's infrastructure [61]. Controlling industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds is one of the most effective ways to reduce its pollution, which means that cleaner production is an important foundation for reducing odor pollution.…”

Impact of Odor Nuisance on Preferred Place of Residence

et al. 2020

Context of the research:Research is increasingly carried out to take into account the social behavior of residents, the type of industry located in the area, and perceived preference for the place of residence. The quality of life in urban space is increasingly seen as a problem of cooperation between various stakeholders. These studies not only identify factors and sources of odor emissions, but also serve as the basis for creating systems to alert people living in areas adjacent to industrial areas or harmful and unpleasant industrial emissions. In recent years, environmental issues, particularly unpleasant sensory experiences, have been one of the most important acceptance criteria. Aim of the article: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of odor nuisance in the south-eastern part of Kraków (Płaszów) on the residents' decision to leave their place of residence. In particular, the research goal was achieved to indicate which of the unpleasant odors may cause a change of residence, as well as to assess the degree of their impact on the decision to move, taking into account the social and demographic characteristics of residents. New in the article: The novelty of the work was the finding out of the residents' opinions about the quality of life by accepting the place of residence, taking into account the aspect of odor nuisance. Previous studies on odor nuisance have focused on the emission of odors from individual plants. A novelty of this research is its implementation in an urban area, in which numerous industrial plants are located, with various odors emitted. Research methodology: To assess odor nuisance, a measuring tool developed in accordance with VDI 3883 guidelines was used, based on the latest research results on odor and noise nuisance. The questionnaire was developed based on German experience. Conclusions from the research: The data obtained as a result of the research allow us to state that specific smells are so burdensome that they may cause the necessity to leave the place of residence, because the respondents feel various unpleasant smells that have an adverse impact upon the quality of life that they perceive. A possible need for relocation of domiciles out of the current place of residence due to unpleasant smells would affect the perceptible, specific level of grief-the greater it is, the more attached the residents are to their current place of residence.

“…[46]. In the fields of MSW and NIMBY, there are many scholars using network expression to research the public's acceptance of new energy infrastructure [47], the development of radicalism and organizational activities in NIMBY [48,49], the relationship between stakeholders in waste management [50], etc. Most of the existing researches are mainly expressed in the form of ER network [51], that is, the entities and relationships between them are directly abstracted from the real world and presented in the form of network.…”

Reconstruction of ER Network from Specific Academic Texts for the Governance of MSW‐NIMBY Crisis in China

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Along with urban development globally, the NIMBY (Not-In-My-Backyard) crisis has been a complex social problem, which requires urgent remedial action. The inevitable management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has been one of the toughest risk management tasks in the worldwide modernization process. At present, certain fuzzy and unstructured results and methods have been formed for MSW-NIMBY crisis response, mainly focusing on the sociology and politics which scatter in complex and sensitive reports and news. Aiming at enhancing the effectiveness of data mining from specific sparse text of MSW-NIMBY crisis, an improved knowledge extraction method is developed. Through rule-based text mining and complex network analysis, the Entity Relationship (ER) network of MSW-NIMBY crisis is reconstructed. Meanwhile, a novel transitivity for relationship between entities in semantic analysis is proposed to improve the feasibility and accuracy of information extraction. Characteristics and regularity of MSW-NIMBY crisis evolution and experience of crisis governance could be identified effectively. Results show that knowledge integration and ER transitivity can enhance knowledge recognition and major other factors, which could help formulate the governance strategies of NIMBY crisis from academic texts.
