“…O estabelecimento de uma representação em um Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) possibilita a criação de um modelo dinâmico aberto a possibilidades de otimização. O SIG pode ser efetivamente aplicado para minimização de custos e maximização da eficiência da coleta e transporte de resíduos em qualquer área (Nguyen-Trong et al, 2017). Para a proposição da rota, utilizou-se o painel de digitalização do Quantum GIS, tendo como critérios o menor percurso e abrangência à todas as comunidades analisadas.…”

Os resíduos sólidos rurais representam um grande entrave ao desenvolvimento sustentável pautado na sustentabilidade ambiental, social e econômica. A destinação incorreta dos resíduos sólidos promove impactos negativos à saúde humana e aos sistemas ambientais. Portanto, os objetivos desta pesquisa foram descrever a forma de disposição final dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares em sete comunidades rurais inseridas na Zona de Amortecimento do Parque Nacional da Furna Feia, RN, e apresentar uma proposta de gestão adequada de resíduos sólidos produzidos nestas comunidades. A metodologia foi pautada na observação não participante, com base na lógica de investigação fenomenológica, e na pesquisa-ação, visando contribuir com a gestão dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares. Para a espacialização dos elementos de logística e infraestrutura do modelo de gestão proposto neste estudo, que inclui rotas e pontos de coleta de materiais recicláveis, utilizou-se um sistema de informação geográfica, o Quantum GIS, com o auxílio do módulo de digitalização. Os dados indicaram que em todas as residências avaliadas ocorre a queima de resíduo sólido, enquanto a reutilização de materiais recicláveis foi registrada em 57,5% das residências. O resíduo orgânico, compreendido por sobras de alimento, foi destinado à alimentação de animais domésticos e de produção. Com base nestes dados, é apresentada uma proposta de gestão adequada dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares, com foco na reutilização de materiais recicláveis, com possibilidade de geração de renda, por meio de cooperativas e/ou associações. Para os rejeitos, elaborou-se uma proposta de coleta intermunicipal, visando diminuir gastos operacionais e possibilitar a sustentabilidade socioambiental. Proposed Appropriate Management of Household Solid Waste in Rural Communities Using Spatial Analysis A B S T R A C TRural solid waste represents a major obstacle to sustainable development based on environmental, social and economic sustainability. Incorrect disposal of solid waste causes negative impacts on human health and environmental systems. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to describe the form of final disposal of household solid waste in seven rural communities inserted in the buffer zone of Furna Feia National Park, RN, Brazil, and present a proposal for appropriate management of solid waste produced in these communities. The methodology was based on non-participant observation, through of the logic of phenomenological research, and action research, aiming to contribute to the management of household solid waste. For the spatialization of the logistics and infrastructure elements of the management model proposed in this study, which includes routes and collection points for recyclable materials, we used a geographic information system, Quantum GIS, with the aid of the digitization module. Data indicated that in all households evaluated, solid waste is burned, while the reuse of recyclable materials was recorded in 57.5% of households. The organic waste, comprised of food scraps, was destined to feed domestic and farm animals. Based on these data, we present a proposal for the appropriate management of household solid waste, focusing on the reuse of recyclable materials, with the possibility of generating financial resources through cooperatives and/or associations. For the tailing, we elaborated a proposal for intercity collection, aiming to reduce operating expenses and enable social and environmental sustainability.Keywords: Geoprocessing; Environmental management; Public policy; Sustainability; Protected area.

“…The importance of route optimisation shouldn't however be underestimated. Optimisation, together with developing routes which are better suited for every locality's needs, has, in some cases, led to a saving of between 10 and 15 min of collection time (McLeod and Cherrett, 2008) and an 11.3% reduction in distance travelled by each garbage truck (Nguyen-Trong et al, 2017). Collection and transportation of solid waste often accounts for a substantial percentage of the total waste management budget (including labour costs) .…”

“…Optimal MSW collection and transportation schemes (GIS, algorithm, etc.) have been proposed by scholars and applied to develop the shortest distance waste collection strategy so as to further improve waste collection efficiency [22][23][24][25][26][27]. Considering the influencing factors of both MSW quantities and collection performance together comprehensively, economic factors appear to exert significant influences on MSW collection quantities.…”

The rapid growth in urban population has led to a dramatic increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation, with ramifications more pronounced in developing countries. The regional Chinese governments have made great efforts to reduce MSW generation and collection quantities. However, the results of these efforts vary across cities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the regional differences in MSW collection quantities. A two-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) was used to examine the variations in MSW collection quantities among 287 prefecture-level cites in China over the period from 2008 to 2017. The analysis reveals a strong negative correlation between the regional economic development level and the growth trend of MSW collection quantities. The empirical findings indicate that the level of economic development and waste collection measures are critical determinants of MSW collection quantities.
