“…Inicialmente, à medida que o volume de resíduos sólidos gerados aumenta, diminui a capacidade dos aterros. Esses depósitos necessitam de uma extensa área física, o que limita a construção de novos aterros (KOLLIKKATHARA et al, 2010). Da mesma maneira, a inexistência de gerenciamento acaba levando a um tipo de descarte ainda mais prejudicial: o descarte ilegal em locais inadequados como rios, ruas, áreas verdes etc.…”

“…23 Many of the studies that have applied system dynamics approaches to urban health issues have often focused on urban infrastructure management such as transport, [24][25][26] water, [27][28][29][30] and waste management systems. [31][32][33][34][35] A handful of studies have explicitly focused on population health outcomes in urban settings, including oral health, 36 HIV/ sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, 37 social determinants of health, 38 climate change, 39 and youth violence. 40 More recently, a complex systems lens was used to develop and analyze a qualitative study of a multisectoral, multiagency alliance in Adelaide, Australia, aimed at improving outcomes for disadvantaged people through the social determinants of health.…”

In a variety of urban health frameworks, cities are conceptualized as complex and dynamic yet commonly used epidemiological methods have failed to address this complexity and dynamism head on due to their narrow problem definitions and linear analytical representations. Scholars from a variety of disciplines have also long conceptualized cities as systems, but few have modeled urban health issues as problems within a system. Systems thinking in general and system dynamics in particular are relatively new approaches in public health, but ones that hold immense promise as methodologies to model and analyze the complexity underlying urban processes to effectively inform policy actions in dynamic environments. This conceptual essay reviews the utility of applying the concepts, principles, and methods of systems thinking to the study of complex urban health phenomena as a complementary approach to standard epidemiological methods using specific examples and provides recommendations on how to better incorporate systems thinking methods in urban health research and practice.

“…This dynamic model integrates major variables that affect construction and demolition waste reduction [26]. This approach is also used in a framework model for Newark urban region in the US and running a forecast simulation [24]. They incorporates the complexity of waste generation and management process in the dynamic system.…”

Abstract-Construction waste is generated throughout the construction process such as during site clearance, material use, material damage, material non-use, excess procurement and human error. The exact quantity and composition of construction waste generated throughout the projects are difficult to be identified as they are keep on changing due to the dynamic nature of the construction activities. Different stages of construction generates different types and composition of waste. Therefore the trend of waste generated throughout the construction stages need to be identified. This paper will critically review literature on construction waste in order to understand the nature of waste generation from construction activities. Based on the literature studied, this paper propose a method to quantify waste for conventional construction. The proposed method comprises four steps. First is identification of construction stages and expected waste generated. Second is selection of construction sites with similar characteristics for uniform investigation. Third is sorting and weighing of mixed waste collected in a dumpster. The last step is summation of the recorded quantity. It is expected that the proposed method should be practical and suits current situation of Malaysian construction projects and support the agenda of National Strategic Plan for Solid Waste Management.
