Abstract

Solid waste management is a multidimensional challenge, especially in developing countries like India. This paper presents the findings of a study carried out in thirty-two urban local bodies of West Bengal to determine the solid waste generation rate and waste composition based on field surveys covering 5,000 households. The services delivered for solid waste management, the institutional arrangements and the constraints in meeting the prescribed standards have been studied. The level of satisfaction of the citizens and related socio-economic factors were also covered under the study. The collected data was analysed to relate waste generation, composition, segregation and community participation. This study also aimed to contribute to a better understanding of household waste management behaviour by examining solid waste management practices and attitudes. Results from this study will provide inputs to the environmental and waste management planners in their decisions on solid waste segregation and recycling activities in the municipalities and municipal corporations.

印度西孟加拉邦城市生活垃圾估算与管理研究的挑战与启示

固体废物管理是一项多方面的挑战，特别是在印度这样的发展中国家。本文介绍了在西孟加拉邦32个城市地方机构进行的一项研究的结果，该研究基于覆盖5000户家庭的实地调查，以确定固体废物产生率和废物组成。我们研究了固体废物管理的服务、制度安排和达到订明标准的限制。这项研究还包括公民的满意程度和有关的社会经济因素。对收集到的数据进行了分析，以确定废物产生、组成、分类和社区参与的关系。这项研究还旨在通过研究固体废物管理的做法和态度，帮助更好地了解家庭废物管理行为。这项研究的结果将为环境和废物管理规划者就市政和市政公司的固体废物分类和回收活动作出决定提供投入。
