| Abstract | Due to increasing generation of municipal solid waste and lack of understanding about the different stages of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) practices, several cities in Asian countries and elsewhere are facing environmental and health problems caused by improper municipal solid waste management. Based on literatures of municipal solid waste management practices, there have been no established criteria for effective municipal solid waste management practices. This study aimed to investigate the existing municipal solid waste management practices, and develop MSWM indicators and their influencing factors responsible for effective MSWM practices which covered collection efficiency, treatment efficiency, benefit/cost ratio, and social satisfaction. Based on data collected from 80 cities in three Asian countries (Malaysia, Nepal, and Thailand), factors influencing the efficiency of the municipal solid waste management indicators were identified using Response Surface Methodology. A municipal solid waste management effectiveness diagram with the satisfactory levels for MSWM practices was developed and tested with actual data of four cities in Asian countries having different municipal solid waste management efficiencies. The findings identified the influencing factors affecting the municipal solid waste management efficiencies of these tested cities and proposed effective measures for improving municipal solid waste management practices. The effective municipal solid waste management measures, as proposed, are recommended for implementation by various cities to minimize environmental pollution and protect public health. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
