Application of GIS for better management of urban solid waste : a case study for Maharagama Urban Council Area, Sri Lanka Pathum Thani, Thailand : Asian Institute of Technology, 2008 73 leaves : ill. Thesis ; no. RS-08-4 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science inRemote Sensing and GIS Thesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2008 In today's world solid waste management is a global environmental issue which creates significant health and environmental risk. This is a crucial problem in Sri Lanka too due to the lack of a proper solid waste management system. This study was conduct to improve the present solid waste management system of Maharagama Urban Council, Sri Lanka using GIS. Sample survey was done to collect the data about amount of waste generated from a house, number of people and income of a family and the households' attitudes towards the waste from randomly selected houses. GPS survey was carried out to find out the sensitive locations and current landfill site location. Model was created to estimate the amount of waste generated from each house. GIS was used to identify the locations for bins and estimate the required capacity of them. It could be found that 1006 bins with 100m service area are required to cover entire area. GIS base analysis was conducted to identify the potential areas for landfill sites and check the suitability of the current landfill site. Analysis indicated that no lands are available for landfill in the UC area and current landfill site too is unsuitable to use as landfill Refuse and refuse disposal Geographic information systems Sri Lanka Samarakoon, Lal, Chairperson Kibe, Seishiro, Examination committee Chen, Xiaoyong, Examination Committee Asian Institute of Technology.
