Solid waste management in urban Bangladesh
暂无分享,去创建一个
In Bangladesh, urban local governments, i.e. city corporations,
municipalities are formally responsible for urban
waste management. The conservancy department, as an
administrative organ of the corporation/municipality, has
the responsibility for solid waste management (SWM). In
this short paper, an attempt has been made to shed some
light on how the conservancy departments of both Dhaka
(herein after called DCC) and Chittagong city corporations
(herein after called CCC) operate in practice, and
therefore also to understand why there is a discrepancy
between the ideals and realities.
The scope of the paper is limited only to discuss the SWM
system of both DCC and CCC and the author collected data
and information used here during his fieldwork in June-
August 2000.
