Abstract

In recent years, public awareness about solid waste management had been increased due to reason that economic growth has affected with poor waste management practices. According to some studies, most of the waste generated has been disposed without any waste treatment in open dumps and landfills creating unhygienic conditions, affecting public health, environment and economy of a country. This project summarizes the existing knowledge regarding the economic impact of waste management. A case study is added at the end which shows the comparison between provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. It was noted that waste management process produces new jobs and with increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), waste generation also increases. Sustainable system is more efficient in overall development of a country and waste diversion is the most preferable method for waste management. Keywords— Solid Waste Management, Economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Sustainable, waste diversion.

废物管理及其对经济增长的影响:以加拿大为例

近年来，由于经济增长受到不良废物管理做法的影响，公众对固体废物管理的认识有所提高。根据一些研究，大多数产生的废物未经任何废物处理就被弃置在露天垃圾场和垃圾填埋场，造成不卫生的条件，影响一个国家的公共卫生、环境和经济。本项目总结了有关废物管理的经济影响的现有知识。在文章的最后还加入了一个案例研究，对阿尔伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省进行了比较。有人指出，废物管理过程产生了新的就业机会，随着国内生产总值的增加，废物的产生也增加了。可持续系统对一个国家的整体发展更有效，废物转移是废物管理的最佳方法。关键词:固体废物管理，经济增长，国内生产总值(GDP)，可持续，废物转移。

期刊介绍： Střed | Centre is a peer-reviewed journal focused on studies of the society, culture and politics in Central Europe of the 19th and 20th centuries. The journal is ecumenical in its selected methodological and disciplinary approaches and strives to give space to scholars working on the broad field of social sciences and humanities, who are involved in studies of the given period and geographical area. Střed /Centre aims at interconnecting the extensive and simultaneously rather fragmented field of research dedicated to Central Europe from the viewpoint of various disciplines. Therefore it publishes original studies from individual fields, particularly studies with the ambition to step over the border defined by disciplinary divisions and to connect more disciplines in a productive dialogue. As a peer-rewieved journal Střed | Centre was founded on January 1, 2009 and is issued twice a year. It is oriented on monothematic issues presenting inter-related scientific essays. Topics of individual issues are published on the journal web page well in advance. Střed | Centre comes out twice a year, in April and October, and is included in the list of peer-reviewed non-impact periodicals issued in the Czech Republic.
