DEVELOPMENT OF A DISASTER WASTE DISPOSAL PLANNING MODEL AIMING AT SUPPORTING OF APPROPRIATE DECISION OF DISASTER WASTE TREATMENT

Abstract

 In order to support planning of disaster waste disposal, a numerical model simulating disaster waste transportation and disposal was developed. The proposed model tracks the movement of disaster waste between originating region, temporary storage areas and final disposal site. A crushing/classification process at temporary storage areas, Number of vehicle as a carrier, transit route, a capacity of temporary storage areas and final disposal site are freely settable in the model. The model was applied for a city in Mie prefecture aiming at evaluating of actual disaster waste disposal plan at the time of the occurrence of Nankai Trough earthquake. The result of simulation indicated that a number of crushing/classification equipment and workers were required in order to execute disaster waste disposal.
