Household Waste Unit Pricing: solution to household waste management. A case study in Danang Ciity, Vietnam

      Аннотация: Like in other developing countries, landfill is considered to be the most suitable waste disposal method in Vietnam. However, landfill and its related issues have caused a number of serious environmental problems. To manage the municipal waste disposed to landfill properly and effectively in order to minimize the associated pollutions and prolong the duration of landfill, it requires a comprehensive and challenging solution. Reducing the household waste, therefore, should be considered as prerequisite in solving those economic and environmental conflicts. Household waste unit pricing is proved in many countries to be an effective measure in reducing the household waste and improving people?s awareness of household waste management. In this thesis, an empirical research through a survey in the communities of all 6 urban districts of Da Nang city in Vietnam, where Khanh Son landfill located, is conducted. The survey focuses on general awareness of household waste of the people in these communities, as well as on the local current situation of household waste management, and on the introduction of the household unit pricing in Da Nang.
