摘要

Solid waste is a worldwide complex and growing problem in urban areas. A research study was conducted in Gujrat, Pakistan, by incorporating GIS technique to analyze the efficiency of GIS for sustainable management of solid waste. The study utilizes secondary data acquired from the municipal department that shows the existing infrastructure of solid waste management. The data collection, data cleaning, GIS-based spatial analyses, route optimization, and satellite imagery integration steps are utilized for result development and analyses. The integration of geographic information and spatial analysis empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions, allocate resources efficiently, and implement tailored waste management solutions for the city’s diverse needs. It is concluded that it is a dire need of public awareness to use, reuse, and recycle the material as much as possible. This will lead to improving the efficiency of solid waste management. Public awareness in this regard is also necessary for proper management of an area. It has been noted that the educated people can perform the task in a more proper way.
