Abstract Ngudi Kamulyan is a domestic waste treatment facility which imply 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) in Gajahmungkur District, Semarang City-Indonesia. This facility is already in status quo due to the lack of human resources and this Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this facility has chances to improve its services after the pandemic. The activation of this facility can reduce the number of mismanage waste and open burning incidents. Performance improvement planning is carried out based on the five aspects of waste management. This study was conducted using qualitative analysis and questionnaire survey to the neighbourhood leaders and facility officers. Community participation planning was done with activities focused on improving the 3R habit in the community. There is a need for continuous supervision from related parties, such as Gajahmungkur District Semarang City Government and the Environmental Agency of Semarang City. That supervision will be necessary to make the waste treatment facility and operational activities of 3R could run consistently.

This article is an analysis of the impact of implementing technical and technological solutions in the form of a deodorization system, which was carried out on the basis of a case study in the years 2015 and 2019 of an existing waste management plant named located in the region of Lower Silesia. The method for determining the impact was based on an analytical method for estimating changes in plant operation parameters in relation to the emission of odor compounds, determined at selected reference points, during a period of normal operation before and directly after the implementation of the deodorization system. The purpose of this work is the evaluation of the impact of the deodorization system on the parameters determining the functioning of the plant—a mechanical-biological waste treatment facility in order to determine sustainability factors and their relative changes.

Citizen Perceptions

The Syrian civil war, which broke out in 2011, caused the displacement of more than one million refugees to Jordan. Most of them settled in the Northern Govenorates of Jordan. Due to this, the local services and infrastructures of the hosting communities, in particular the solid waste management (SWM), were put under great pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate how the off-camp refugees impacted the SWM in the Greater Irbid Municipality (GIM; in the Irbid Governorate), both quantitatively and qualitatively. Data and results obtained from the studies carried out before the Syrian crisis are compared with data collected by the authors in 2016 using similar or comparable methodologies. Moreover, local citizen perceptions of and satisfaction with the solid waste (SW) service level were assessed. A deterioration of the SWM in GIM between 2011 and 2016 was observed in terms of service performance indicators (e.g., an increase of SW collection and transportation costs by 2.5 times and of fines for improper SW disposal by 2.2 times) and of citizens’ views (a decline in SWM quality was felt by 59% of the respondents). An attempt to cope with this situation has been made in recent years with international donors mobilizing efforts and resources to enable municipalities to meet the growing demand in basic SW services. There is however, still much to be done.
