Analysis of the location of collection points and containers for municipal waste
Silný, Marek ; Pluskal, Jaroslav (referee) ; Nevrlý, Vlastimír (advisor)
In waste management, it is crucial to design the collection network appropriately. This paper was aimed at identifying the main factors that influence the motivation of citizens to sort waste and, based on these factors, to design an optimized collection network for the recoverable components of municipal waste. A detailed research was carried out to describe the current legislation in the Czech Republic in the field of waste management, to explain the waste sorting and collection system and to find factors that could influence the motivation to sort based on previous studies. Based on this research, a questionnaire was then designed to assign importance to these factors and two networks were subsequently designed using different distance measurement methods. The paper found that sufficient capacity of a collection point was a more important aspect than the walking distance to that point. For the design of a collection network, it is not appropriate to consider the distance between collection points as the distance by air, but rather the distance by infrastructure.
