Book Synopsis The role of households in solid waste management in East Africa capital cities by : Aisa Oberlin Solomon
Download or read book The role of households in solid waste management in East Africa capital cities written by Aisa Oberlin Solomon and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household solid waste management is a severe problem in East Africa capital cities. Domestic actors tend to be neglected in their role in solving the problem. This book develops a new conceptual framework for analyzing the role of households in solid waste management in East Africa's capital cities. This conceptual framework is derived from the theory of the Modernized Mixture Approach. By focusing on households in informal settlements in particular, domestic routines for handling wastes are analyzed for their technical and social dimensions. By elaborating upon the technical and social aspects of domestic solid wastes and the role of householders in producing and handling these wastes, this book adds to the scanty body of scientific knowledge of sustainable waste management by householders in East African countries. The knowledge generated with respect to technical and social dimensions can be used in the future by researchers and policy makers in SWM policies both in East Africa and comparable situations elsewhere in the world.

Book Synopsis Modernising solid waste management at municipal level by : Christine Majale Liyala
Download or read book Modernising solid waste management at municipal level written by Christine Majale Liyala and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of local authorities is vital for high quality flow of key public services such as solid waste collection and treatment. This publication discusses and analyses in-depth the institutional arrangements for the management of domestic solid wastes in three urban centres bordering the lake Victoria Basin in East Africa: Kisumu, Jinja and Mwanza. It presents research on the different (public and private) systems for municipal waste service delivery in this region. It makes use of existing theories on network governance and on developmental state and multi-level governance and applies the concept of 'modernised mixtures' when studying centralised and decentralised configurations for handling urban solid waste. It is shown that for solid waste management, arrangements for service provision in the urban centres have evolved in direct response to locally specific conditions. It is argued that 'modernised mixtures' are important for improving the performance of local authorities in waste service provision since they offer flexible perspectives which build upon existing practices and (state) capacities in the particular East African contexts.
Book Synopsis Urban Waste and Sanitation Services for Sustainable Development by : Bas van Vliet
Download or read book Urban Waste and Sanitation Services for Sustainable Development written by Bas van Vliet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban sanitation and solid waste sectors are under significant pressure in East Africa due to the lack of competent institutional capacity and the growth of the region’s urban population. This book presents and applies an original analytical approach to assess the existing socio-technical mixtures of waste and sanitation systems and to ensure wider access, increase flexibility and ecological sustainability. It shows how the problem is not the current diversity in waste and sanitation infrastructures and services and variety of types and scales of technology, of formal and informal sector involvement, and of management and ownership modes. The book focuses instead on the lack of an integrative approach to managing and upgrading of the various waste and sanitation configurations and services so as to ensure wider access, flexibility and sustainability for the low income populations who happen to be the main stakeholders. This approach, coined "Modernized Mixtures", serves as a nexus throughout the book. The empirical core addresses the waste and sanitation challenges and debates at each scale - from the micro-level (households) to the macro-level (international support) - and is based on the results of a five-year-long interdisciplinary, empirical research program. It assesses the socio-technical diversity in waste and sanitation and provides viable solutions to sanitation and waste management in East Africa. This book provides students, researchers and professional in environmental technology, sociology, management and urban planning with an integrated analytical perspective on centralized and decentralized waste and sanitation configurations and tools for improvement in the technology, policy and management of sanitation and solid waste sectors.

Book Synopsis Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques in Waste Management by : Suchismita Satapathy
Download or read book Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques in Waste Management written by Suchismita Satapathy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the problem of waste management by using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. The authors discuss how to apply MCDM, a complex decision-making tool that involves both quantitative and qualitative factors, to develop strategies for effective waste management using various optimization models to rank alternatives, while also incorporating the concerns and needs of multiple stakeholders to find the most optimal decisions for various types of wastes. Typically, there does not exist a single optimal solution to waste problems; with help of MCDM, far better solutions can often be found and utilized to facilitate sustainable waste management techniques in various industries. This book provides unique, effective, and quick decision-making strategies for waste management. With the ever-increasing population and continuing human development, the problem of managing waste becomes increasingly essential, and this volume helps lead the way to finding sustainable solutions.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries by : Pariatamby, Agamuthu
Download or read book Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries written by Pariatamby, Agamuthu and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As global waste generation increases at a rapid rate, there is a dire need for waste management practices such as collection, disposal, and recycling to protect from environmental pollution. However, developing countries generate two to three times more waste, resort to open dumps more often than developed countries, and are slower to integrate waste management standards. There is a need for studies that examine the waste generation and practices of countries that share similar economic backgrounds as they strive to implement successful waste management techniques. Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries is an essential reference source that discusses the challenges and strategies of waste management practices and the unique waste issues faced by developing countries that prevent them from achieving the goal of integrated waste management. While highlighting topics including e-waste, transboundary movement, and consumption patterns, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, legislators, waste company managers, environmentalists, students, academicians, and municipal planners seeking current research on the global waste management problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional development is a broad term but can be seen as a general effort to reduce regional disparities by supporting (employment and wealth-generating) economic activities in regions. In the past, regional development policy tended to try to achieve these objectives by means of large-scale infrastructure development and by attracting inward investment” (OECD, 2014).A territorial and regional approach to development is crucial in addressing regional challenges, regional economic competitiveness, and reducing socio-economic discrepancies. This book provides a forum to articulate and discuss Africa’s regional development issues in view of the rising opportunities within the African region. This volume contains 14 chapters and is organized in four sections: Introduction; Industry, Trade and Investment in Africa; Agricultural Services and the Water-energy-food Nexus in Africa; and Environmental and Cultural Dimensions to Africa’s Regional Development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African cities are under construction. Beyond the dazzling urban redevelopment schemes and large-scale infrastructure projects reconfiguring central city skylines, the majority of urban residents are putting their cash, energy, and aspirations into finding land and building homes on city edges. In the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam, the self-built suburban frontier has become the place where the middle classes are shaped. This book examines how investment in property-land, houses, and landscape-is central to middle-class formation and urban transformation in contemporary Africa"--
Book Synopsis Solid Waste Management Options for Households in Developing Countries by : Mary Nthambi
Download or read book Solid Waste Management Options for Households in Developing Countries written by Mary Nthambi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household solid waste management is a major environmental and financial problem in developing countries. Developing countries experience high rural-urban migration due to high population, poverty and centralization of employment opportunities in cities. This has led to overcrowding and shortage of housing leading to establishment of informal settlements. Informal settlements have in turn become a major concern and the majority of municipalities now find it hard to deal with the growing volume of household solid waste produced in these settlements. This book outlines a research in one of the informal settlements in Kenya known as Kibera slum. Households in the slum have come up with solid waste management options which include disposal, reuse and recycle options, but disposal poses a major challenge. However, an overall assessment of the factors that influence disposal, reuse and recycle options towards good solid waste management is key.Discrete choice model, multinomial logit model is used to assess these options.Readers will surely be excited to realize socioeconomic factors don't determine choice of waste management options among poor households, rather institutional facto

Book Synopsis Managing the Monster by : International Development Research Centre (Canada)
Download or read book Managing the Monster written by International Development Research Centre (Canada) and published by IDRC. This book was released on 1999 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective governance is typified by transparency, accountability, credibility, and stability of the governing body, as well as by the cooperative partnership of public sector, private sector, and civil society. In Africa today, good governance is central to the achievement of sustainable and equitable development. But Africa is rapidly urbanizing. Urban authorities must deal with the uncontrolled and unplanned movement of rural dwellers into the large urban centers, and the environmental "monster" it is creating: rampant urban waste, much of it toxic. Managing the Monster critically examines urban governance in Africa, with particular reference to the serious problems and challenges posed by waste management. It describes, compares, and appraises the situations in Abidjan, Dar es Salaam, Ibadan, and Johannesburg, characterizing typical forms of governance and their successes and failures in dealing with the critical problem of mounting urban waste. It will interest researchers, academics, and students in African studies and urban planning; donor organizations worldwide working on urban issues; policy makers, municipal engineers, city managers, and urban planners, especially in Africa; and environmental and civic NGOs.

Download or read book What a Waste 2.0 written by Silpa Kaza and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management affects every person in the world. By 2050, the world is expected to increase waste generation by 70 percent, from 2.01 billion tonnes of waste in 2016 to 3.40 billion tonnes of waste annually. Individuals and governments make decisions about consumption and waste management that affect the daily health, productivity, and cleanliness of communities. Poorly managed waste is contaminating the world’s oceans, clogging drains and causing flooding, transmitting diseases, increasing respiratory problems, harming animals that consume waste unknowingly, and affecting economic development. Unmanaged and improperly managed waste from decades of economic growth requires urgent action at all levels of society. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 aggregates extensive solid aste data at the national and urban levels. It estimates and projects waste generation to 2030 and 2050. Beyond the core data metrics from waste generation to disposal, the report provides information on waste management costs, revenues, and tariffs; special wastes; regulations; public communication; administrative and operational models; and the informal sector. Solid waste management accounts for approximately 20 percent of municipal budgets in low-income countries and 10 percent of municipal budgets in middle-income countries, on average. Waste management is often under the jurisdiction of local authorities facing competing priorities and limited resources and capacities in planning, contract management, and operational monitoring. These factors make sustainable waste management a complicated proposition; most low- and middle-income countries, and their respective cities, are struggling to address these challenges. Waste management data are critical to creating policy and planning for local contexts. Understanding how much waste is generated—especially with rapid urbanization and population growth—as well as the types of waste generated helps local governments to select appropriate management methods and plan for future demand. It allows governments to design a system with a suitable number of vehicles, establish efficient routes, set targets for diversion of waste, track progress, and adapt as consumption patterns change. With accurate data, governments can realistically allocate resources, assess relevant technologies, and consider strategic partners for service provision, such as the private sector or nongovernmental organizations. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 provides the most up-to-date information available to empower citizens and governments around the world to effectively address the pressing global crisis of waste.

Book Synopsis Solid Waste Management Practices by : Manyah Wangatia Vincenzio
Download or read book Solid Waste Management Practices written by Manyah Wangatia Vincenzio and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one of the major urban development challenges in core urban areas. World over, open dumpsites are still the primary means of managing solid waste. They are found in minor streets across the cities and in open fields, especially in middle and low-income residential areas. Due to inefficiency in the waste collection system, most of the wastes from domestic and commercial activities are dumped in these sites posing a threat to human life and the environment. Available literature highlights the low capacity of collection and transportation of solid waste by major players citing evidence of quantities generated. Little is known on the contribution of the SWM practices on the social and economic lifestyles of residents. This book presents an empirical assessment of the influence of SWM practices on the socioeconomic lives of participating households with reference to Dandora dumpsite, Nairobi in Kenya. It demonstrates that SWM is a viable venture option that investors can target for revenue generation in improving livelihoods and poverty eradication. It is hoped that this piece of work will contribute positively to policy frameworks globally.
