Abstract |
Environmental problems, especially related to Solid Waste Management, are a growing concern for every developing country including Pakistan. Rapid population growth has significantly increased the levels of solid waste pollution and the situation continues to worsen with every passing day. The technical, financial, environmental, and social elements involved in the management of solid waste systems are interconnected, resulting in the formation of several interacting feedback loops, thus making the management of solid waste a complex and dynamic problem. The overall goal of this research is to develop an integrated system dynamics framework for sustainable management of solid waste. The system dynamics model is developed based on a detailed causal loop diagram prepared for the management of solid waste using STELLA software. Different strategies are formulated by including the policy levers in the model. The simulation results show that different financing strategies undertaken by the
