“…Vivian and Tam (2013) tried to evaluate new policies based on the latest waste management philosophies available (e.g., the reduce, reuse, and recycle principle, and the polluter pays principle) having an effective impact on the sustainable development of the living environment [4]. Environmental policies are on the agenda of almost all countries of the world, connected with modern innovative technologies, used in the area of waste treatment; however, not all countries and communities give the same priority to environmental policy [5].…”

The growing environmental problems with a global impact on the quality of the environment require increasing attention from all countries and the urgent adoption and implementation of established measures to protect the environment. The presented contribution points to the necessity of financial resources in the process of improving the environment. It aims to analyze public expenditures and investments spent on the environment in the European Union and the Slovak Republic, and to identify the main environmental areas to which funds flow. The aim is to assess the effectiveness of the funds spent in relation to selected indicators focused on waste management. After the analysis of the state and development of public expenditures and investments and the analysis of the methods of municipal waste management, the contribution results in the search for dependence between public expenditures and the materially and energetically recovered amount of municipal waste.

Applying green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to Tianjin University campus landscaping can not only reduce the negative impact of water runoff, but also improve the landscape environment for students. The campus also faces the risk of flooding, like other parts of the city of Tianjin, China. Different GSI layouts may be able to change the effective impervious area (EIA) without changing the total impervious area. Therefore, a reasonable GSI layout is critical for the efficiency of rainwater and flood management. Taking the Youth Lake area of Tianjin University as our research object, we set three scenarios separately, based on the storm water management model (SWMM), so the EIA area decreases thanks to an optimized GSI layout. Runoff and concentration models of scenarios under different rainstorm return periods were established by combining geographic information system with SWMM. Based on runoff analyses, peak discharge, peak times and the hydrological response of various drainage outlets in the diverse scenarios, we found that runoff can be reduced over 20% by only using GSI of 10 cm depth sunken green space and permeable pavement. If linear measurement of GSI such as a planting ditch, blind pipe and drainage pipe continue to be used to connect the impervious area with surrounding green space, the hydrological response will be further weakened, especially when the linear GSI is not placed parallel to the runoff direction. The same results as found by other studies leads us to conclude that following rainstorm events, upgrading weakens GSI control ability, even though GSI layout optimization was completed. We proved the key optimization strategy for GSI layout is intervention regarding runoff direction. Although campus needs a large concentrated hardened area to meet needs of students' daily activities; selection of GSI suitable for shape and location, especially using linear measures, can reduce EIA, accelerating the runoff attenuation process and reducing the campus flood risk.
