Abstract
Versatile models that improve upon management of collection and transport of urban solid waste in developing countries are not often actualized due to the varied complex social situations at play. Meanwhile, an international cooperation project, known as The Project for Strengthening Solid Waste Management in Dhaka City, has invented a collection and transport improvement method called WBA (Ward-Based Approach). The project has been highly evaluated. The authors of this paper has conducted a field work on this project, found that the method was an approach integrated major components of collection and transport, and thus achieved the localization of them. Based on these findings, the authors present in this paper a conceptual model for improved management of collection and transport of urban solid waste in developing countries.
