Abstract

A study was undertaken to develop options for sustainable integrated solid waste management for a tourist city in Vitenam. The generation and characterisation of tourism waste were based on a sampling survey of Hoi An city. Problems and challenges of tourism waste management system were indicated using material flow analysis. Five scenarios were developed for the city's tourism sector based on current solid waste management practice, a consensus of stakeholders, the suitability of waste management systems and the contribution of the government. In two of the scenarios, waste reduction was 6.5 times higher and recyclables recovered was 3.3−4.2 times greater than in two of the minimalist scenarios. Furthermore, the former scenarios showed more efficiency in treatment, optimal economy and minimum greenhouse gas emissions. The study indicated the advantages and challenges of each scenario and identified an optimal model for solid waste management practice for Hoi An city's tourism industry. A framework for gradually developing a sustainable tourism waste management system was proposed, potentially applicable to any tourist city in a developing country.

发展中国家旅游城市可持续固体废物管理的备选办法

进行了一项研究，为越南的一个旅游城市制订可持续的综合固体废物管理的备选办法。对会安市旅游垃圾的产生和特征进行了抽样调查。利用物流分析指出了旅游废弃物管理系统存在的问题和面临的挑战。根据目前的固体废物管理实践、利益相关者的共识、废物管理系统的适用性和政府的贡献，为城市旅游部门制定了五种方案。在其中两种情况下，废物减少量比两种极简方案高6.5倍，可回收物比两种极简方案高3.3 - 4.2倍。此外，前两种方案在处理效率、经济性和温室气体排放方面均表现出更高的经济性。研究指出了每种情景的优势和挑战，并确定了会安市旅游业固体废物管理实践的最佳模式。提出了一个逐步发展可持续旅游废物管理系统的框架，可能适用于发展中国家的任何旅游城市。

期刊介绍： Waste and Resource Management publishes original research and practice papers on all civil engineering and construction related aspects of the resource management cycle, from the minimization of waste, through the re-use and recycling, to the management and disposal of residual wastes. Associated legislation, standards, socio-economic considerations and links with sustainable consumption and production are included. The range of subjects covered encompasses, but is not restricted to, strategies for reducing construction waste through better design, improved recovery and re-use, more efficient resource management, the performance of materials recovered from wastes, and, the procurement, planning, design, construction, operation and logistics of waste and resource management facilities.
