Good management of solid waste aims to protect human health, preserve the environment, save resources and towards the sustainable development of the country. Solid waste management is expected to become increasingly complex in Vietnam due to socio-economic development and population growth. There are many factors influencing solid waste management, but it is indispensable for law to be a social management tool of the State. The provisions of the law on solid waste management and the process of law implementation need to be more and more complete in response to the increasing requirements for environmental protection. Therefore, the paper focuses on clarifying the current legal model in Vietnam that governs solid waste management relations and the process of law implementation on solid waste management in Vietnam, points out some shortcomings and problems concerning law implementation on solid waste management, thereby proposing solutions to improve the efficiency of law implementation in this field. Those are: 1/Completing decentralization in solid waste management; 2/Determining the priority order in controlling and limiting the sources of solid wastes; 3/Completing incentive mechanisms and policies, encouraging activities to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste; 4/ Strengthening inspection, examination and handling of violations in solid waste management; 5/Promoting socialization in solid waste management.

Municipal solid waste management is a huge challenge specially in the developing countries. The first and fundamental step to solve the problem of municipal solid waste management is by waste segregation at source and separate collection of waste, which will help to recover recyclable materials and reduce the amount of waste that needs to be disposed at the dumpsite or landfill site. In Nepal, waste segregation at source is mandated by law but the government is not able to implement it successfully. This paper assesses the willingness of the households to practice waste segregation in future if the government enforces the law and various factors that influences the practice. Data was collected from 401 households which was selected using stratified sampling technique from all the municipal wards, the lowest administrative units in Nepal. The finding shows that about 67% of the respondents are willing to segregate waste in future if the government enforces the law. Logit regression model was employed to identify the factors that influence waste segregation practice. The significant variables found from this study are environmental awareness, waste collection service, willingness to pay, make compost, and segregated waste for a week variables, which are statistically significant at 1% level of significance. Income variable is significant at 5% level of significance and gender variable is significant at 10% level of significance. It is recommended that the concerned stakeholders should educate the households on the importance of waste segregation and consider these traits of households before enforcing the law.

<p>O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um diagnóstico do sistema de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos do Complexo Militar do Exército Brasileiro, Forte Santa Bárbara (Complexo FSB), em Formosa-GO, sob a égide da Lei 12.305/10. O levantamento dos dados ocorreu nos meses de abril a julho de 2018 por meio de visitas <em>in loco,</em> entrevistas e amostragem dos resíduos. Os resultados obtidos no diagnóstico indicaram que a instituição não faz a segregação de resíduos para o descarte, exceto a fração orgânica gerada no refeitório. Identificou-se que são geradas cerca de 3,6 ton/mês de resíduos, considerando a população de 1.000 indivíduos, sendo que 49% dos resíduos são orgânicos e originados, em grande maioria, no refeitório; 37% são recicláveis; e apenas 14% são rejeitos. Os resíduos sólidos da saúde gerados na Seção Sanitária e os gerados no setor de oficinas e garagens possuem destinação final ambientalmente adequada. Os resíduos e rejeitos são coletados pelo serviço de limpeza urbana de Formosa-GO e encaminhados para o aterro controlado da cidade. Concluiu-se que o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos, produzidos pelo Complexo FSB, precisa se adequar à Lei 12.305/10.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Plano de gerenciamento. Coleta seletiva.

Partnerships as enshrined in policies are vital for achieving sustainable cities under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indeed the SDGs recognize the importance of partnerships in solid waste management (SWM) as a way of developing workable and reliable waste management systems. SWM in Nairobi city continues to be a great challenge, and poor practices threaten environmental and public health. Ineffective waste management in Nairobi city has been linked to inefficient policy implementation and enforcement by different stakeholders. To effectively address the challenge of sustainable waste management in Nairobi city, amalgamation of strategies amongst several segments, including stakeholders, private and public sectors (formal and informal), non-governmental organizations and communities, is important, through partnerships to implement improved policies, in terms of capacity, financial prudence, and technical and institutional factors. The paper seeks to analyse existing policy framework on SWM and its effectiveness in addressing SWM in Nairobi city. The study is based on a descriptive research design which involved interrogating the stakeholders included in the implementation of the policy frameworks in place. Data were acquired through semi-structured questionnaires administered to 385 respondents and interviews with 10 key informants. The theoretical framework is based on institutional theory and capacity building theories that expound the gaps in policy implementation and the role of partnerships. Policies in SWM should be interlinked for sustainable cities.

Several Southeastern Oklahoma towns located in the Kiamichi Economic Development District (KEDDO) are not currently in compliance with the Oklahoma Solid Waste Management Act of 1970. The act requires that all incorporated cities and towns adequately dispose of solid wastes generated within incorporated limits. Most areas of the state were granted extensions until July 1975, to operate landfill facilities in accordance with state requirements. Some large towns have collection and disposal systems, but many smaller towns have no service or partial service. A few are not in compliance with the law.

Population growth and the acceleration of urbanization have led to a sharp increase in municipal solid waste production, and researchers have sought to use advanced technology to solve this problem. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are good at modeling complex nonlinear processes and have been gradually adopted to promote municipal solid waste management (MSWM) and help the sustainable development of the environment in the past few years. In this study, more than 200 publications published over the last two decades (2000–2020) were reviewed and analyzed. This paper summarizes the application of ML algorithms in the whole process of MSWM, from waste generation to collection and transportation, to final disposal. Through this comprehensive review, the gaps and future directions of ML application in MSWM are discussed, providing theoretical and practical guidance for follow-up related research.

Valuation Method

Management of solid waste is a major challenge in urban areas of most parts of the world, especially in developing countries. The study aimed to determine and estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) of the selected households for the improvement of solid waste management in Vietnam. The research evaluated WTP of household solid waste in case studies in Bien Hoa and My Tho cities using contingent valuation method (CVM). The data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire survey and interviews with 200 households. The results showed that the most willingness to pay was equal to 10,000 and 15,000 VND per month. The respondents were willing to pay in Bien Hoa and My Tho with an average of 14,450 VND (0.63 USD) and 13,000 VND (0.56 USD) per month, respectively. Regression model identified influential factors on WTP of households in the two cities of Vietnam. The factors that significantly influence households’ WTP were monthly household income, education of respondents, age, occupation and solid waste volume (p<0.05). The results of this study can be used for the urban planning and implemented the sustainable development process in Bien Hoa and My Tho cities.

Management Cycle

Management of industrial solid waste is predicted becoming more complex as Vietnam develops rapidly, strives to become an industrialised country towards modernisation. In order to manage efectivelly industrial solid waste, there must be the participation of many actors in the waste management cycle, among them, it is necessary to mention the owner of industrial solid waste. Responsibilities of the owners of the industrialised solid waste that emitted to the environment are an issue that needs to be clarified in the waste management. Therefore, this paper concentrates on analysing the current laws in Vietnam defining the responsibilities the waste source owners and the mechanism to implement these responsibilities in the management of industrial solid waste. The writing figures out some limitations and inadequacies in defining responsibilities of the owners of the industrial solid waste sources. Then, it proposes a number of solutions that enhances responsibilities of the waste source owners in the industrial solid waste management. They are: 1/ Need more specific regulations on the responsibilities of the owners of the waste sources in classification of waste; 2/ Improve regulations on the market of waste goods; 3/ Supplementing regulations on specialised personnel at facilities generating industrial solid waste; 4/ Strengthen inspection, examination and supervision on the waste source owers; 5/ Improve the law on the system of economic intrusments to regulate acts of the owners of waste sources; 6/ Mobilise community responsibilities participating and promote socialisation in industrial solid waste management.

Abstract Chattogram city is grappling with problems caused by inadequate solid waste management (SWM). Because the successful policy intervention regarding proper SWM depends on the intrinsic motivation of the city dwellers along with government intervention, the objective of this paper was to conduct an attitudinal study of the residents of Chattogram regarding their roles and responsibilities towards the SWM, and thus, the sustainable development of the city. It is a cross-sectional study based on a sample size of 150. Data was collected using a structured, pretested questionnaire. The result showed that the residents were unable to prioritize the city’s environmental problem over other problems due to the lack of knowledge and awareness about the environmental problems and its impacts on the Chattogram. However, in respect of SWM in the city, their eagerness for participation is appreciable, even though they are more dependent on government policy initiatives. An attitudinal gap was also observed here among the respondents pertaining to the vacuum of knowledge and awareness. Therefore, strong policy decisions and the awareness campaign can make people aware of their roles and responsibilities for a sustainable city and intrinsically motivate them to participate in SWM.

The demands of the circular economy and the sustainable development goals call for a critical appraisal of the solid waste management systems of developing economies to divert decision-making towards the development of sustainable strategies and support systems for purposes of modernization. This chapter uses a combination of literature review, network queries to key experts within municipalities, and the authors' experiences and outputs of an ongoing collaborative research to evaluate and present the realities of solid waste management and recycling in Ghana. The goal is to chart a locally appropriate and sustainable pathway to drive system improvement. The analysis and evidence suggest that structural and coordinated cooperation between researchers of higher educational and research institutions and municipal authorities creates an enabling platform to build human resource capacities, to bridge data gaps, to identify what works, and to drive decision-makers' commitment towards the development of realistic action plans and continuous policy strategies.
