With the increasing population, the rising standards of living, industrial progress and rapid technological advancement, solid waste has varied and increased in amount as a result of various human activities. Thus, waste disposal has become one of the main problems facing cities and human populations because of the dangers posed by this waste to the environment and natural resources and health. Therefore, the development of an integrated management system for solid waste has become one of the most important elements of urban development strategies. Traditional management of municipal solid waste disposal, which includes collection, transfer and backfilling or burning operations, has evolved the concept of disposal of solid waste during the previous decades and begun waste management programs that focus on the use of computer programs such as geographic information systems, which help environmental planning for cities, and selection of the most optimal and economical solutions and. This study includes the use of geographic information systems software technology in the planning and selection of the optimal paths to collect and relay solid waste containers in the city of Latakia. In fact, selecting these routes undergoes the equations of length and time as to choose the shortest path, taking into account traffic regulations and diesctions in the streets. As for time, it takes the shortest path in terms of speeds specified for each road.
The disposal of solid waste is one of the most important contemporary environmental issues. Increasing population and what has been associated with the change in the patterns and lifestyles and increased consumption led to increasing the amount of pr oduced waste and its quality, especially in cities; the estimated amount of solid waste produced daily in the city of Latakia was 840 tons. Thus, there is an urgent need to follow the techniques in the management of solid waste in all stages to maintain human health and protect the environment from pollution. This study as a whole aims to estimate the amount and characteristics of solid waste, the methods used to collect and analyze the spatial distribution of the current waste collection containers in areas of the city of Latakia, better planning commensurate with its population and the amount of waste produced using GIS technology. To accomplish this, we have a comprehensive field survey to collect the waste containers in the study area where they were monitoring their locations and identifying characteristics; we relied on statistical analytical approach in the recruitment of data that have been obtained, and used the map to the city of Latakia Tags. And, through the program (ARC GIS 9.3) the data has been entered and processed, linked and analyzed using analysis tools attached to the program, exit maps and various forms that serve the study. The study concludes that the current number of containers is not enough when discharged per day, and that the spatial distribution is not commensurate with the amount of waste produced in areas of the city .
Latakia is a Syrian city that generates approximately 800 tons per day of municipal solid waste MSW, and the final disposal of MSW is in Al-Bassa open dump with no biogas capturing or leachate collection systems. Thus, a life cycle assessment appro ach LCA was used to determine the optimal strategy of municipal solid waste management. to find the most eco-friendly scenario, first, the composition study of MSW was conducted in Latakia. The results of first step are to be utilized as a reliable data source in establishing a complete picture of the environmental performances of municipal solid waste management systems with a life cycle perspective. The functional unit of the study was selected as one ton of MSW generated in Latakia. System boundaries included treatment and disposal of MSW using different scenarios: the open dump of waste, sanitary landfilling with gas recovery, and a material recovery facility MRF combined with a sanitary landfill and gas recovery. Data on the process was gathered from a field study conducted in Latakia, and from SimaPro 8.3.0 literature and libraries. The data was evaluated with IMPACT 2002+ methodology and the assessed environmental impact categories were climate change, human health, ecosystem quality, and resources. According to the results, while open dumping has been confirmed as the worst waste final disposal method, landfilling with gas recovery and material recovery facility showed better performance and is considered as a solution towards improved sustainability to overcome the existing waste management problem.
The crisis in Syria heavily impacted public infrastructure as well as the provision of basic services. This strongly affected the population in all Syrian governorates since the beginning of the crisis seven years ago. The water sector is considere d one of the most affected. Hostilities led to damages in the networks and ensuing water cuts. In addition, main pumping stations, boreholes and sanitation networks ceased to function. This research aims at identifying the locations and extent of damages in the water networks in Homs governorate based on the percentage of water and sanitation networks as well as solid waste management services compared to the pre-conflict situation. The research depends on utilizing the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based on descriptive data. The information used comprises primary data collected in the field using structured questionnaires filled by the local population as well as secondary data produced by humanitarian organizations, SARC and governmental institutions. The results show decreased the coverage of water and sanitation networks in Homs Governorate notably outside the county centers while it is almost non-existent in the urban areas. The latter include the southern and eastern counties Al Qariateen, Sadd, Mheen, Al furqulus, Al Ruqama and Hisia. Furthermore, more than half of the population living in the eastern urban areas rely on water trucking. The discontinuity of municipal services and malfunction of solid waste removal trucks resulted in the accumulation of waste in many areas. Therefore, the state of solid waste management is evaluated to be mostly “bad”, while the reminder only reaches “medium” category, which means, the municipalities do not collect the waste, or collect and dump inside the city .This situation strongly increases the risk of an outbreak of infectious diseases.
The search gives a total studying about addressing systems in some Arabic and Western countries, and then studying one of the Syrian cities and benefit from its experience. the scientific study had ALZERAA and ALAZHARI neighborhood in LATTAKIA. c onsidering that ALZERAA neighborhood is a regulator housing while ALAZHARI neighborhood is a random one. The working in ALZERAA neighborhood has been done adopting to the current system which is applied from the council of LATTAKIA and decided by the local administration ministry, where we propose amendments on this system which make it easier to understand and use, and apply the proposed system within the geographic information system (GIS) program. Then studying the possibility of applying the proposed system on ALAZHARI neighborhood and making the intransitive modification according to the nature of the random areas like changing in the method of numeration because there are not streets clearly in addition to that the buildings are not regularly distributed on the two sides of the street.
