Description
Summary:Municipal waste management system--a complex, dynamic system, characterized by large volumes of waste generated, waste biodiversity and different system participants. The paper presents results of municipal waste management structural analysis. These are the characteristics of waste management cycle of five phases (waste generation, sorting at source, collection and transportation, use and disposal), participants (waste holders, managers, governance institutions and groups of interest), their mutual relations and communications with the various components of the environment. The results are treated as a background for the systematic decisions in municipal waste management, based on multicriteria evaluation methods.
