Abstract :
There is a tremendous amount of loss in terms of environmental degradation, health hazards and economic descend due to direct disposal of waste. It is better to segregate the waste at the initial generation stages rather than going for a later option which is inconvenient and expensive as well. There has to be an appropriate planning for proper waste management by means of analysing the waste situation of the area. This paper deals with, how geographical information system can be used as a decision support tool for planning waste management. A model is designed for the case study area in an Indian city for the purpose of planning waste management. Waste management issues are considered to solve some of the present situation problems like proper allocation and relocation of waste bins, check for unsuitability and proximity convenience due to waste bins to the users. Proposal of recyclable waste bins for the required areas and future suggestions in this regard. The designed model has been implemented on the data prepared from the satellite images for the analysis. The results suggest some modification in the existing system which is expected to reduce the waste management workload to a certain extent
