“A system dynamics approach to waste management: the case of Naples.”


Seminar given by Dr. Maria Federica Di Nola (UPV/EHU).

Date: 4th October, 2010

Location: Sarriko

The problem of waste management is complex in nature, involving major issues such as the increasing production of waste, the generation of a wide variety of emissions, impacts on human health and environmental threats. In this paper a system dynamics model is proposed to better understand this complex problem, taking Naples as a case study. The aim of the model is to explain the underpinning reasons behind the waste crisis the city is experiencing and to assess the costs derived from the emergency. With this purpose the model considers (a) demographic variables; (b) alternative waste treatment options; (c) costs associated with each option; (d) environmental awareness and (e) institutional constraints.
