There are 11 rooms and 38 departments with 1791 staffs in Thu Duc District Hospital. Moreover, there are above 6000 patients coming for examination and approximately over 900 in-patients at the hospital. Although the medical solid waste management was concentrated and focused on, there is still some insufficient points that need to be researched. Therefore, we are now proceeding in researchingour aim to describe the reality of medical solid waste management at Thu Duc District Hospital in 2019 and evaluate the factor that affects the waste management. The method for this research is cross-section descriptive research. We have observed all tools, equipments used for managing medical solid waste, and observed the medical solid waste classification in 36 departments/ clinical units, paraclinical, also have used designed inventory. The ratio of the department that meet thegoals in general of collecting, transporting, storage and waste disposal is not really high, only 75%, in which that the ratio for collecting by department only is lowest with 77.8%; next for collecting the waste by equipments with 80.6%; for waste classification by equipments is 83.3%.

Successful transitioning to a circular economy city requires a holistic and inclusive approach that involves bringing together diverse actors and disciplines who may not have shared aims and objectives. It is desirable that stakeholders work together to create jointly-held perceptions of value, and yet cooperation in such an environment is likely to prove difficult in practice. The contribution of this paper is to show how collaboration can be engendered, or discord made transparent, in resource decision-making using a hybrid Game Theory approach that combines its inherent strengths with those of scenario analysis and multi-criteria decision analysis. Such a methodology consists of six steps: (1) define stakeholders and objectives; (2) construct future scenarios for Municipal Solid Waste Management; (3) survey stakeholders to rank the evaluation indicators; (4) determine the weights for the scenarios criteria; (5) reveal the preference order of the scenarios; and (6) analyse the preferences to reveal the cooperation and competitive opportunities. To demonstrate the workability of the method, a case study is presented: The Tyseley Energy Park, a major Energy-from-Waste facility that treats over two-thirds of the Municipal Solid Waste of Birmingham in the UK. The first phase of its decision-making involved working with the five most influential actors, resulting in recommendations on how to reach the most preferred and jointly chosen sustainable scenario for the site. The paper suggests a supporting decision-making tool so that cooperation is embedded in circular economy adoption and decisions are made optimally (as a collective) and are acceptable to all the stakeholders, although limited by bounded rationality.

Management Case Study

The research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of public & private partnership (PPP) in solid waste management of Ho Chi Minh City, where many pilot projects have been developed as illustrations for Vietnam in the past years. The research used OECD criteria for policy evaluation and had discussions with specialists to evaluate the effectiveness of public & private partnership (PPP) in solid waste management of Ho Chi Minh City. The results indicated that the pilot projects achieved significant successes in meeting the management objectives such as reducing burdens on public investment for urban environmental services, minimizing pollutions caused by municipal solid waste, and applying advanced technologies to the final treatment and/or disposal. The research, however, also pointed out the disadvantages of PPP during development, which are mostly relevant to supporting regulations or implementation capacity. From those outputs and lessons learnt from other cases in the world, some recommendations have been proposed for improving the effectiveness and spreading the implementation of PPP in other places.
