Identification of appropriate landfill sites for City of ChittagongKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.

Milton Foundation Ghana Clean Water Project Proposal December 2014Angela Toney-McConnell
This proposal seeks funding for a 12-month water, sanitation, and hygiene project in Ghana. The project will provide clean water to 5,000 villagers in 16 communities through the construction of boreholes. It aims to improve health and reduce waterborne diseases among women and children by increasing access to potable water and sanitation facilities like latrines. The proposal outlines the project background, needs assessment conducted, implementation strategies, goals, objectives, budget, and management plan. If funded, it is expected to significantly improve health outcomes in the target communities.
1. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
2. The concept has its roots in the late 1700s but gained attention in the 1980s with the Brundtland Commission report which defined sustainable development.
3. There are three pillars of sustainable development - environment, economy, and society. Achieving balance across these three is the goal of sustainable development.
Effective disaster risk management can ensure sustainable developmentMd. Ayatullah Khan
Effective disaster risk management involves reducing disaster risks and preparing immediate responses to disasters. It is essential for sustainable development by avoiding or mitigating risks from natural hazards like floods and earthquakes that can hinder development efforts. Disaster risk management considers reducing underlying risks and strengthening long-term resilience as a key part of establishing sustainable societies. There are several ways disaster risk management financing can advance sustainable development, such as integrating disaster risk into development policies and plans, providing timely relief after disasters, and enhancing coordination of response resources. Overall, effective disaster risk management can help ensure that development meets current needs without limiting future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
This document discusses clean water and sanitation. It notes that access to clean water is essential for survival and a foundation for thriving communities. While infrastructure improvements require government assistance, individuals can help by donating aid and raising awareness through social media. Social media has helped give attention to cities with unclean water and fundraising efforts, though it took Flint, Michigan five years of protesting and $400 million to receive clean water after their crisis received widespread coverage.
This document discusses wetland resources, management, and case studies on ecosystem services, wise use, and conservation. It summarizes the key ecosystem services provided by urban wetlands like stormwater storage, flood retention, water quality improvement, and habitat. The document also outlines a framework for the wise use of wetlands, including integrating wetlands into catchment management and developing management plans through multi-stakeholder platforms. Case studies from India, including the East Kolkata Wetlands, are presented to illustrate approaches to wetland conservation and generating livelihoods through ecosystem services.
This document discusses monitoring and implementation of SDG-6, which focuses on water and sanitation. It outlines the 6 targets of SDG-6 related to drinking water, sanitation, water quality, water use, water resources management, and water-related ecosystems. It describes how achieving SDG-6 requires integrated actions and has interlinkages with other SDGs. The document then discusses monitoring approaches for SDG-6 including 12 indicators, and gives examples of how indicators related to drinking water access, ambient water quality, and water stress are defined and calculated. Global monitoring initiatives that contribute to SDG-6 like JMP, GLAAS and GEMI are also outlined.

Environmental Concerns of developing and developed countrieskrishnadutt1819
The document discusses the different environmental concerns of developing and developed countries. Developing countries are more concerned with issues like population growth, resource use, and pollution that impact public health and quality of life ("brown agenda"). Developed countries focus more on long-term issues like ecosystem disruption, resource depletion, and climate change ("green agenda"). There can be conflicts around prioritizing these agendas, but both must be addressed to minimize environmental impacts and maximize equity between and within generations.

This document outlines the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. The framework was adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan in 2015. It aims to substantially reduce disaster risk and losses over the next 15 years. The framework establishes seven global targets related to reducing mortality and losses from disasters. It also sets a goal of preventing new and reducing existing disaster risks through various economic, structural, legal and other measures to reduce exposure and vulnerability to hazards.
The document discusses the concept of sustainable development as an alternative to the current state of development, which is causing ecological, economic, social, and political problems. It provides definitions of sustainable development from various sources, emphasizing that it involves meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The three pillars of sustainable development - environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, and social sustainability - are explained. Steps to promote environmental sustainability through practices like organic farming and renewable energy are outlined. The document also notes some criticisms of sustainable development, such as that the term is vague and difficult to measure.

Smart growth is an urban planning theory that promotes compact, transit-oriented, walkable development as an alternative to low-density, car-dependent sprawl. The key principles of smart growth include mixing land uses, creating walkable neighborhoods, providing a range of housing and transportation options, preserving open space, and encouraging community collaboration in development decisions. While there is no single definition, smart growth generally aims to more efficiently use infrastructure, preserve natural resources, and create more livable communities.
The document outlines 10 things that individuals can do to live more sustainably, with references to additional pages in the Campus Green Guide for further information on each topic. The list includes recommendations to reduce driving, consume less, eat a plant-based diet, use less electricity and heat, reduce consumption of products and chemicals, be informed on environmental issues, and get involved through volunteering or advocacy. The overall message is that small individual actions can contribute to more sustainable living.
The document discusses different definitions of sustainability from Wikipedia and Washington State University that focus on environmental aspects. It then discusses how increased awareness of issues like global warming, cleantech investment, and high oil prices have led to more traditional definitions focused on phrases like "carbon footprint" and solutions like carbon offsets and green jobs. However, the author feels sustainability is about more than the environment and includes issues like urban planning, healthcare, and building communities. The author advocates for individual action and engagement in the community to be agents of change.

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

GREEN Heights
for Jackson
AGENDA
The Green Agenda brings this diverse community together, across the divides of language, race and class, for a community
conversation to help create a greener and more inclusive Jackson Heights. From November 2010 to March 2010, over 400
Jackson Heights residents participated in three community workshops and fourteen ‘mini-visioning sessions’ which were facilitated
by volunteers in living rooms, schools, churches, seniors centers, and at the regular meetings of community-based organizations.
Together, Jackson Heights residents imagined their future and crafted this plan to address their ecological, economic and social
concerns. To achieve this vision, residents identified strategies for addressing neighborhood issues and building on strengths. For
each of the seven topics in the Green Agenda, residents dared to dream big, expressing their wishes for the future, but were also
practical: many of the actions identified in the Green Agenda are easily achievable, creative solutions. Most of all, the Green
Agenda was created with the recognition that community members need to come together and create the necessary organizations
and structures to work toward accomplishable goals. The goals and actions presented in the Green Agenda represent a shared
vision for the neighborhood that can become a powerful tool for neighborhood change.
