Geographical Analysis of Municipal Waste Management—A Case Study of Patna Municipal Corporation (Bihar, India)
Municipal waste managementMunicipal waste management (MWM) has become a worldwide ecological priority in the last two decades, attributed to the rising capacity of waste produced as a consequence of the developmentDevelopment of a mass consumer society. This study is emphasised to perceive the clusters of high and low waste generationWaste generation zones in the Patna Municipal CorporationPatna Municipal Corporation (PMC) and evaluate the geographical contributions of waste. Ward-wise municipal waste, population and area data were collected from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Government of Bihar’s Urban DevelopmentUrban Developmentand HousingHousing Department. Descriptive statistics of waste features were estimated through Microsoft excel. Geographical Information system was worn to investigate the geographical discrepancy of the waste types grouping at the micro-level. Cluster analysis is performed to demarcate the geographical cluster of waste generated based on the Getis-Ord Gi* statisticGetis-Ord Gi* statistic. Outcome of the research shows that the average rate per capita solid waste (SW) generation is 12.22 tonnes per day (TPD) ± 3.80 for the entire municipal corporation. Results also showed a strong positive correlation between total waste generationWaste generation and population number and meagre relation with the area. The high waste-generated clusters of the ward are found in the west of the PMC,Patna Municipal Corporation and low waste-generated cluster is observed in the central part of the PMC. Our results recommend that MWMMunicipal waste management should be well matched to the spatial characteristics of the ward in a conundrum.
