Abstract
In the development of waste management systems in a smart city, systems planning and decision-making should include economic, environmental, and social sustainability indicators. Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) involves multiple operations by interconnecting a wide range of stakeholders. The constraints in decision-making process are posing a challenging task for the urban local bodies. Integration of the modern technologies and systems engineering approach provides a scope for synergizing the constraints, experts, and stakeholders. The output generated from this approach will provide better solutions for effective decision-making in an implementation of the solid waste systems for the development of smart sustainable cities. In this paper, three systems engineering approaches geographic information system (GIS), multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), and life-cycle analysis (LCA) applications in solid waste management systems were reviewed. The holistic approach and framework for integrating these systems engineering approaches and technologies in development of ISWM for a smart city were presented.
