A Sustainable Model for Engineering Project – a Stakeholder’s Perspective

Abstract

For earning sustainable SMSWM many environmental, economical, social, institutional, and technical challenges have to be met in the SMSWM pathway. In developing countries like Pakistan, MSWM is a gigantic task because of mismanagement, lack of proper funds, loss of cover and recovery options, bad serial and disposal, lack of information, and an ineffective delivery system. The project is therefore geared at enhancing such a model concerning 5 tenets in the sustainability of the environment that is technical, institutional, monetary, Environmental, and social. By implication, a solid waste management system that will favor a sustainable environment relating to the above factors will be determined from reading literature doing discipline visits, and engaging in stakeholder surveys. Based on five sprint factors of sustainability, the complete work has been done and all the components have been connected and have a certain ratio. When major factors and their sub-factors are identified, specific surveys are conducted for prioritization scoring of such elements, mainly based on the importance of each issue and closer to the inputs of different stakeholders considered. A conceptual model has been developed and refined into a final format for all municipal strong waste control projects to test the model’s sustainability. The rating/weights assigned to each element are purely and utterly to the opinion of the various stakeholders from a given field.
