Abstract

This study represents a few basic steps of municipal solid waste management practiced in the six major cities of Bangladesh, namely, Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, and Sylhet. A six-month field study was conducted to identify the solid wastes management steps such as storage at source, separation, on-site storage, collection, transportation, treatment, reuse, recycling, and ultimate disposal. This study addresses the role of the city authority to meet the demand of the city dwellers in solving this emerging socioenvironmental issue and the initiatives taken by some nongovernmental organizations and community based organizations. The problems and constraints of the solid wastes management system are also identified to find a sustainable management concept for the urban areas of Bangladesh.

发展中国家城市固体废物管理系统评价

本研究代表了孟加拉国六个主要城市(即达卡、吉大港、库尔纳、拉杰沙希、巴里萨尔和锡尔赫特)城市固体废物管理的几个基本步骤。进行了为期六个月的实地研究，以确定固体废物管理步骤，如在源头储存、分离、现场储存、收集、运输、处理、再利用、再循环和最终处置。本研究探讨了城市当局在解决这一新兴社会环境问题中满足城市居民需求的作用，以及一些非政府组织和社区组织所采取的主动行动。还确定了固体废物管理系统的问题和限制，以便为孟加拉国城市地区找到可持续的管理概念。

期刊介绍： Chinese Journal of Engineering Design is a reputable journal published by Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. It was founded in December, 1994 as the first internationally cooperative journal in the area of engineering design research. Administrated by the Ministry of Education of China, it is sponsored by both Zhejiang University and Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineering. Zhejiang University Press Co., Ltd. is fully responsible for its bimonthly domestic and oversea publication. Its page is in A4 size. This journal is devoted to reporting most up-to-date achievements of engineering design researches and therefore, to promote the communications of academic researches and their applications to industry. Achievments of great creativity and practicablity are extraordinarily desirable. Aiming at supplying designers, developers and researchers of diversified technical artifacts with valuable references, its content covers all aspects of design theory and methodology, as well as its enabling environment, for instance, creative design, concurrent design, conceptual design, intelligent design, web-based design, reverse engineering design, industrial design, design optimization, tribology, design by biological analogy, virtual reality in design, structural analysis and design, design knowledge representation, design knowledge management, design decision-making systems, etc.
