The purpose of this study is to suggest the design parameters, which are applied to the solid waste treatment and management systems in rural area. In order to drive out the parameters, the solid waste production and management systems in rural and urban areas had been surveyed and analyzed, respectively. The comparisons of the analyzed results are also introduced in the paper. The rural areas referred to the survey are grouped in accordance with the industrial activities in those areas. The conclusions of the study are as follows: 1) The solid waste volumes produced per day per capita in rural area are less than those of urban area. For example, the average volume produced in rural area in 1995 is 0.85kg, which is two thirds of those in Seoul area. 2) for the treatment, the country has depended mainly on landfill. On the other hand, the incineration treatment ratio has been in creasing in rural area. 3) The physical and chemical properties of the rural solid waste, according to the analysis, are similar to those of the urban areas, which means the living pattern in those two areas have a little difference.

우리나라는 1970 년대부터 급속한 경제발전과 더불어 생활수준의 향상에 따른 소비 성향의 변화 및 인구의 도시집중화현상 등으로 도시 쓰레기의 배출의 변화가 나타나서, 배출된 쓰레기의 양은 매년 증가되는 추세이다. 또한 배출된 쓰레기의 80% 이상을 단순 매립에 의존하는 처리방식이므로(환경부,1995), 유기성 폐기물이 혐기 소화되면서 다량의 가스와 침출수를 발생시켜 주변 지역의 자연 및 생활환경에 악영향을 미치며, 환경적, 사회적으로 큰 문제가 대두되고 있는 현실이다.(중략)

In this study, the composition and physico-chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste (MWS) which was treated in national park area kyungnam-do landfill were investigated. It is necessary to measure the characteristics of MSW and sludge to build a waste treatment facility, the data-base and total managing of the landfill. This MSW was composed of 34.62% of food wastes, 36.05% of papers, 15.37% of plastics & vinyls, 2.28% of textiles, 3.33% of wood, 0.49% of rubber & leathers and others, respectively. Most of MSW are composed of food, paper and plastic waste and more than 90% was combustible waste. For three components, moisture is 29.84%, combustible component is 62.30% and ash is 7.86%. The chemical element has the high order of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen on the dry basis of wastes. Also, the low heating value of the MSW which is measured by calorimeter is calculated as 2377.8kcal/kg. low heating value of the sludge is calculated as 338.06kcal/kg.

급속한 경제 발전과 인구증가, 일회용품의 증가 둥 사회구조가 대량생산, 대량소비 형태로 변화되면서 폐기물의 처리가 새로운 환경문제로 대두되었다. 도시 생활폐기물의 대부분이 매립 처리되고 있지만, 환경부에서는 매립처리의 비율을 줄이고 2001년까지 소각처리 비율을 25%로 늘릴 계획이다. 1997년에는 도시 생활 폐기물의 63.9%가 매립 처리되고 7.1%는 소각 처리되었으며, 29.0%가 재활용되었다(환경부, 1998). 한편 1995년부터는 쓰레기 종량제의 도입으로 도시쓰레기의 27%가 줄어들었고 재활용되는 쓰레기의 양이 35% 정도 늘어났다.

인간은 생활을 영유하는 과정에서 필연적으로 쓰레기를 배출하게 됩니다. 그러나 우리나라는 60년대까지는 주요산업이 1차 산업에 의존하고 있어 쓰레기 배출이 크게 문제되지 않았었습니다. 왜냐하면 그 당시에는 우리들의 일상 생활용품들이 대부분 인위적으로 개발한 새로운 물질이 아닌 자연에서 그대로 구했기 때문에 배출쓰레기를 일정장소에 적당히 처리하여도 자연의 물질순환계에 의하여 원상태로 돌아갔으며 또한 물질이 귀한 시절이어서 대부분 재사용, 재활용되어 특별히 버릴 것이 없었기 때문일 것입니다. 그러나 우리나라도 70년대 이후 경제발전에 따라 고도산업 사회에 접어들고 인구 도시 집중화 및 자연상태에서 좀처럼 분해되지 않는 새로운 화학물질 소재들이 다량 생산되고 생활수중 향상 등에 의하여 많은 양의 물질이 소모되면서 배출되는 쓰레기도 인간에 치명적인 위해를 줄 수 있는 성분이 함유됨은 물론 배출향도 엄청나게 증가하여 처리에 어려움을 겪게 되었습니다. 이에 우리도의 당면한 생활쓰레기 처리실태 및 문제점과 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시 논의해 보고자 합니다.

In this study, the composition and physico-chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste (MWS) which was treated in four different area were investigated. It is necessary to measure the characteristics of MSW to build a waste treatment and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facility, the data-base and total managing of the landfill. It was found that the average density of solid wastes is in the range of $78.15-199.8kg/m^3$. This MSW was composed of 8.87% of food wastes, 38.8% of papers, 34.12% of plastics & vinyls, 7.16% of textiles, 0.96% of wood, 1.3% of rubber & leathers and others, respectively. Most of MSW are composed of food, paper and plastic waste and more than 94% was combustible waste. For three components, moisture is 17.38%, combustible component is 69.03% and ash is 6.24%. The chemical element has the high order of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen on the dry basis of wastes. And the low heating value of the MSW which is measured by calorimeter is calculated as 2973.8 kcal/kg and high heating value of the MSW is calculated as 5209.94 kcal/kg.

In this study, the physico-chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste (MWS) which was treated in gangwon area were investigated. It is necessary to measure the characteristics of municipal solid waste for build a waste treatment and RDF facility and for data-base and total managing of the landfill. It was found that the average density of solid wastes is in the range of $101.8{\sim}199.8kg/m^3$. This MSW was composed of 30.7% of food wastes, 36.3% of papers, 15.8% of plastics & vinyls, 1.9% of textiles, 3.2% of wood and 1.5% of rubber & leathers respectively. Most of MSW are composed of food, paper and plastic waste and the combustible waste is more than 90%. For three components, moisture is 44.6%, combustible component is 47.7% and ash is 7.7% respectively. The chemical elements are carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen on the dry basis of wastes. The low heating value of the MSW measured by calorimeter was obtained as 2,631 kcal/kg, and the high heating value of the MSW was obtained as 3,310 kcal/kg.

Zero waste clean city was visualized by designing the environmental fundamental facilities such as automated waste collection and bio-energizing system of domestic waste, which was categorized into food and combustible waste from urban area. The biomass circulation position was applied to the domestic waste collection position combined with bio-energizing system in the zero waste clean city. Bio-energizing system consisted of bio-gasification, bio-fuel and bioenergy-circulation process. Food wastes were treated by bio-gasification with anaerobic digestion, and combustible wastes were made of bio-fuel with pyrolysis/drying. Biogas and bio-fuel was utilized into the electric generation or boiler heat in bioenergy-circulation process. The emission of carbon dioxide(CO2) and construction fee of the environmental fundamental facilities related with domestic waste was estimated in the existing city and zero waste clean city, assuming the amount of food waste 35 ton/day, combustible waste 20 ton/day from domestic area. Consequently, 2.7 times lower carbon dioxide emission and 15% construction fee of the environmental fundamental facilities related with domestic waste were obtained from the zero waste clean city by comparing with existing city.

This study aims to provide a program for the municipal solid waste collection and transportation management through data consolidation and field research of the materials about waste collection and transportation in a small city. The field research was conducted in the collection zone of the housing, apartment and business section within C city area. As a result, the main factor of collection and transportation plan required at the waste collection and transportation process and the central mean applying at the small city were calculated. The process that systemize the waste collection and transportation step and the expert system were constructed. In conclusion, the developed management system of the municipal solid waste collection and transportation can be wildly used by adding the data of other zone.
