dc.description.abstract |
Construction and demolition wastes (CDW) exceed a third of total waste generated in many
countries worldwide. Developed countries have worked on setting master plans for the
management of solid wastes while targeting CDW in the body of their plans; however, these
plans do not present the proper structure necessary for the promotion of CDW recycling, reuse,
and introduction into the economy. Existing master plans and planning efforts also fall behind in
presenting a structured master plan development methodology for duplication. This study
establishes a master plan development framework targeted towards CDW management. The
methods used consist of thematic and comparative analyses on data collected from literature, an
AHP expert supported analysis followed by a case study application of the developed framework
to the local context of Lebanon through drafting a CDW management master plan. Finally, to
confirm the efficiency of the developed plan, a micro economic assessment of the drafted
Lebanese plan is carried out. |
