“…Fines for illegal dumping of waste in inappropriate places are required by low but the rural authorities sometimes avoid to apply them because it is difficult for they to identify the people who are responsible for these bad practices. Ichinose and Yamamoto (2011) show that the number of illegal dumping incidents decreases as the number of intermediate waste management facilities increases.…”

Abstract:Household waste generated is often uncolleted in rural areas causing various types of pollution like: air and water pollution, soil pollution and the aesthetic degradation of the landscape. The environmental legislation proposed by the European Union was transposed on the national legislation but the implementation process was difficult because of particular situations encountered in practice. Rudimentary infrastructure of waste management and limited access to waste collection services lead to uncontrolled household waste disposal. In this context, the geographical location of rural settlements influences the way of waste disposal either on river banks or open dumps placed on roadsides or forest areas with various environmental implications. Those, forest areas in the proximity of human settlements or recreation areas become vulnerable to waste pollution. Even if local authorities are obliged to provide waste collection facilities since July 16, 2009 the illegal dumping of waste in forests is still present. This situation is reflected by field observations from Suceava and Neamț counties. Usually forest areas affected by uncontrolled waste disposal are located in hilly regions or subcarpathian areas. The degradation of these areas is visible and this can have a negative influence not only on the environment but also on tourism activities.

“…The geography of illegal waste disposal sites is not random [1,3,4,15] but rather a complex pattern influenced by a multitude of economic [6,10], environmental [7,8], and social [8,16] factors. The specific range of factors and their relative level of influence on the distribution of illegal waste disposal sites vary both within and between regions.…”

“…Remediation activities targeting illegal waste often incur high costs that consume approximately 30% of some local government budgets in the United States of America [7,8,10]. Reports indicate a similar experience in Queensland with estimated management costs ranging from A$670 to A$1270 per ton of illegal domestic waste [11,14], totaling close to A$17 million in 2013-2014 [14].…”

“…No relevant published research was identified from Australia. Illegal waste disposal presents a global management problem for contemporary governments [1,2] including Australia, France [3], Ireland [4], Italy [5], Japan [6], the United Kingdom [7], and the United States of America [8,9]. Illegal waste presents governments with a wide range of risks that have prompted demands for cost-effective, efficient monitoring and mapping solutions to support improved management outcomes [10].…”

Illegal disposal of waste is a significant management issue for contemporary governments with waste posing an economic, social, and environmental risk. An improved understanding of the distribution of illegal waste disposal sites is critical to enhance the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of waste management efforts. Remotely sensed data has the potential to address this knowledge gap. However, the literature regarding the use of remote sensing to map illegal waste disposal sites is incomplete. This paper aims to analyze existing remote sensing methods and sensors used to monitor and map illegal waste disposal sites. The purpose of this paper is to support the evaluation of existing remote sensing methods for mapping illegal domestic waste sites in Queensland, Australia. Recent advances in technology and the acquisition of very high-resolution remote sensing imagery provide an important opportunity to (1) revisit established analysis techniques for identifying illegal waste disposal sites, (2) examine the applicability of different remote sensors for illegal waste disposal detection, and (3) identify opportunities for future research to increase the accuracy of any illegal waste disposal mapping products.
