Central points of the relationship between sustainable development and integrated household solid waste management

Abstract

SOME FUNDAMENTALS THAT SUPPORT THE PROBLEM OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ARE OUTLINED, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SUBSTANTIAL ASPECTS SUCH AS FORMAL AND INFORMAL INSTITUTIONS, TERRITORY AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE. IT IS EMPHASIZED THAT BOTH CITIZENS AND PUBLIC POLICY DECISION-MAKERS MUST ADOPT RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS WITH RESPECT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION, GREATER CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
