Research on Household Refuse Disposal in Hangzhou City,China

Abstract

This research analyzes the waste management inspection conducted by the Hangzhou Municipal Government to explain the current state of waste management in Hangzhou, China. The Hangzhou Municipal Government published a "Report on the Status of Waste Management Work in Hangzhou City" regarding the waste management status of residents of each district in Hangzhou City. Using the data from January to October 2019 of the report, this research analyzes the accuracy rates of Waste management inspection and the scores of Waste management. The results indicate , first , that China, like Japan, conducts Waste management through its individual municipalities. Therefore, the waste management behavior of each district is greatly affected by its management system and management capacity. Secondly, the administrative agencies in China are managed in the order of City → District → Street Office → Community. The community, the smallest management institution, conducts the waste management of its residents. From the analysis, it is clear that the area where a community is located is also easier for the government to manage, and, therefore, the performance of waste management is higher.
