| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
