Abstract
Municipal solid waste management service system has been one of the most important functions in urban areas. Continuous and efficient operation of municipal solid waste management services indicates the sustainability of a city requires a well-designed plan. Flooding is a major natural disaster in many regions of the world and poses a challenge affecting any part of the waste management system. Flood mitigation plans are intensely important for mitigating impact during crisis situations for communities to have no disruption in waste management service.
This book chapter aims to explain potential impact of flooding to waste management services in cities and relevant stakeholders. Practical approaches for impact mitigation and preparedness of MSWM services during floods are presented. Appropriate impact mitigation alternatives from relevant case studies are provided. The decision support system for planning and operation for any municipality is suggested based on the principles of sustainable development, considering environment, society, and economic factors. This information can help increase understanding to develop an appropriate mitigation management plan for waste management systems during floods toward sustainable cities and communities’ development.
