Assessing Public Acceptance for Recycling Facilities Projects: Case of Palestine
(2024-07-15) Khalil Juma
Abstract
The Nablus Municipality bears the responsibility for managing solid waste and establishing
landfills for waste recycling. However, there are external factors beyond their control, such as
greenhouse gas emissions that have a global impact. The city's significant annual population
growth and urban expansion have led to an increased demand for waste disposal sites. These sites
must be located away from residential areas, office buildings, educational institutions, and
healthcare facilities to prevent the occurrence of various problems and diseases that can harm
people's health.
Conventional methods like landfilling, incineration, composting, and solid waste handling are
widely used for waste disposal. Composting and anaerobic digestion are the most commonly
employed techniques for treating and utilizing the organic fraction of municipal solid waste
(MSW). The global generation of Organic Solid Waste (OSW) is rapidly increasing each year,
primarily consisting of agricultural waste, household food waste, and human and animal
excrement. Typically, OSW is either used as animal feed, incinerated, or disposed of in landfill
sites.
The presence of waste recycling stations significantly impacts the well-being of individuals. This
project aims to examine various locations and propose feasible solutions to gain public acceptance
of waste recycling facilities in the region. Historical data on waste quantities will be utilized to
develop models for waste recycling stations. These models will ensure the safe and healthy
management of waste, contributing to problem-solving in the future. Factors such as population
growth, urbanization, and costs will be considered, aligning these models with the principles of
sustainability encompassing environmental, economic, and social aspects. Ultimately, this
initiative will enhance the municipality's role in waste disposal and promote a safe and sustainable
environment.
In this study, information was collected and opinions were taken from a sample of 608 individuals,
residents of Palestinian cities in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem. A comprehensive
research questionnaire was conducted to find out people's opinions about the problem of waste
accumulation in their area and its causes, and to find out the reasons for their rejection of the
presence of waste dumps near their places of residence.

formats.
• Promoting community participation and discussion.
• Promoting a culture of reading through recommendations.
• Providing a seamless user experience through intuitive design and functionality.
The development process involves initial research and planning to understand user needs
and market dynamics, followed by the design and development of user interfaces and
backend systems. Rigorous testing and iteration are conducted to ensure functionality
and usability, incorporating continuous feedback from beta testing phases. Deployment
and ongoing maintenance are essential for sustaining a high-quality user experience.

FlingArt
(2024) Farah Touqan,; Arzaq Doudar
Picture feeling a bit annoyed when you're trying to make art that's
spontaneous and fun, but the usual ways make it hard to control and
predict what will happen. That's what FlingArt wants to fix. Usually, when
people try to make random art, it doesn't always turn out the way they
want. FlingArt is like a helpful friend stepping in to solve this problem. It
brings in a robot arm that you can control with a phone app. The idea is
to keep the excitement of random drawing but also make the robot arm
precise, like a creative assistant. The challenge is to make sure the robot
arm works well, lets you control the colors just right, and is easy for
everyone to use. FlingArt wants to be more than just a tool – it wants to
be a fun friend that gives you surprises while also letting you create art
with control.

requires careful management of blood sugar levels, taking medication as prescribed, and
making lifestyle changes. However, managing diabetes can be challenging for many people
due to limited access to healthcare, lack of personalized guidance, and difficulty in keeping
.track of important health information
This graduation project aims to tackle these challenges by creating a new mobile app for
diabetes management. The app will have a simple and user-friendly design that allows
individuals with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels, take their medication on time,
calculate the carbs in their meals, and know how much medication they should take. It will
also include features to help users find nearby stores or restaurants that offer food suitable
for their dietary needs, connect with healthcare experts, and get reminders for medication
