Abstract

Solid waste management is one of the principal pollution problems in many urban areas of developing countries, and its control has so far not been addressed in a sustainable analysis. In order to guide the works of building urban sustainable societies focusing on sustainable waste management activities, the construction of sustainability indicators turns into a useful mean, as indicators prove to be valuable by tools in aiding local authorities in decision making, monitoring and judging specific policies. In 1993, the University of Leeds initiated The Quantifiable City project , with the aim of developing a generic meso-scale computer model of city processes focused on sustainable development objectives. Towards this goal the Quantifiable City project identified sustainability indicators using the PICABUE method, which is the one adopted by the present study. This method defines eight reference indicators in each principal waste management phases. Reference indicators are then augmented, defining a total of 79 indicators. The construction of sustainability indicators for a waste management approach with the aim to be applied in developing countries must mainly consider social, managerial, technical and economic aspects.
