Project Abstract

Using the Dublin Region as a study area this project proposes the development and application of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for the site-specific estimation and management of Biodegradable Municipal Waste (BMW).Working from analogous concepts in diffuse pollution abatement GIS technology will be used in these project to:Analyse and characterise BMW generation according to socio-economic factors;Develop algorithms to optimise collections of BMW andDelineate areas in which targeted intervention strategies should be implemented for maximum effectiveness in diverting waste.
