OPTIMIZATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) FOR DURG CITY

Abstract

A rapid urbanization, surging population numbers, limitations of funding, emerging limitations of both energy and raw materials coupled with different increasing industrial, commercial and Social economic development in a durg city. The Durg city area has given rise to an increased generation of various types of wastes. Among these wastes, managing of solid waste is a major problem faced by the Durg city. The Durg city maintaining daily logs of collection and transport of solid waste is time consuming and difficult as it involves large filed data and statistics. 80% of the total cost of solid waste management is being spent on collection and transportation so there is to a need of proper monitoring of the system. This paper attempts to analyze the proposed status of location of municipal bins along with the various secondary routes followed for the solid waste collection of durg city. Then using Arc GIS 10 , a GIS based urban MSW management system is proposed for the study area by proper optimizing the waste collection and transportation routes and reallocating the bins  for efficiency in distance travelled and time taken. Thus Geographical Information System model would reduce the complications in waste management system to some extent and exhibit remedies for the same in the study area
