Multikriteriálna analýza vybraných ukazovateľov procesu nakladania s komunálnym odpadom v mestách Slovenskej republiky

Abstract

The paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the process of municipal waste management in the towns of the Slovak Republic. For multicriteria analysis, we selected three main indicators, namely the amount of separated waste, the amount of landfilled waste, as well as the amount of total current expenditures for waste management. We have stated the values of all sub-indicators of Slovak towns per capita. Waste management information systems in Slovakia publish waste statistics only at the national and regional level, so we had to obtain data from all 141 towns in Slovakia (for 2018) individually. The research confirmed a possible relationship between the population size of the towns and the values of individual sub-indicators, differences in values were also visible among the regions (west, central, and east). The values of the summary indicator of multicriteria analysis of towns were significantly differentiated according to the regions of Slovakia; the population aspect of the towns did not have an impact.
