Abstract

Numerous policies have been implemented in the global effort to achieve sustainable development and improve the population’s quality of life, such as those to reduce air pollution or manage municipal solid waste (MSW). However, these policies were designed disregarding their simultaneous impact on human health and ecosystem in the same city. This study implements system dynamics methodology to simulate coexisting air pollution and MSW management systems, as well as their corresponding policies and decontamination plans, to investigate their influence on human health and ecosystem and to propose policy improvements based on the specific setting of the study. The case study corresponds to Temuco and Padre Las Casas (TPLC). Results show that TPLC requires an integrated policy approach that includes increasing the equipment replacement and advanced technologies for MSW management to achieve reductions in human health impacts by approximately 10%.

评估同时处理空气污染和城市固体废物系统的缓解措施：系统动力学方法

为实现可持续发展和提高人们的生活质量，全球实施了许多政策，如减少空气污染或管理城市固体废物（MSW）的政策。然而，这些政策的设计忽略了它们对同一城市中人类健康和生态系统的同步影响。本研究采用系统动力学方法，模拟共存的空气污染和城市固体废物管理系统及其相应的政策和净化计划，以研究它们对人类健康和生态系统的影响，并根据研究的具体环境提出政策改进建议。案例研究的对象是特木科和帕德雷拉斯卡萨斯（TPLC）。研究结果表明，特木科和帕德雷拉斯卡萨斯（TPLC）需要采用综合政策方法，包括增加设备更换和采用先进技术进行 MSW 管理，以实现将对人类健康的影响降低约 10%。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
