| Abstract | With the growing trend of municipal solid waste amount, Bangkok now faces a number of environmental problems.To properly manage wastes and plan for an effective waste management program in the long term, this study developed amunicipal solid waste dynamic model with three involved parties: 1) the "Householder", 2) the "Government Officer", and3) the "Scavenger". The relationships among the three key parties are examined through simulation results. The resultsindicate that, with the cooperation of all three parties, recyclable wastes can be completely sorted in 17 years. Policy testing isalso conducted to effectively plan for recycling program implementation. The results reveal the importance of householdercooperation to successfully implement such a program. The developed dynamic model helps in better understanding theMSW situation in Bangkok, and plan for effective waste management. |
