GIS – MIS - GPS for solid waste management


Constraints of using gis-gps
  • Number of dumping yards
  • Dumping yard locations
  • Dumping yard Capacity
  • Attitude of people
Benefits of using gis-sps
  • Monitor and Track the trucks every moment
  • Identify the deviations in operations
  • Identify the vehicle idling during operation
  • Compute the kilometers operated by the private trucks
  • Route optimization-Shortest path from the collection point to the dumping yard
System Network for GIS
System Network for GIS

Implementation
  • Networking and Installation of the software (at BMP Offices)
  • Establishing Monitoring Center for GIS-MIS-GPS Training of the officials to handle the system
GIS-MIS-GPS Center
  • Coordinate systematic implementation of GIS, MIS & GPS (Monitoring)
  • Assists various levels of departments setting up GIS
  • Developing GIS & map products
  • Provides technical information and support
Benefits of GIS-MIS-GPS
  • Three modules become the Comprehensive monitoring system for SWM
  • GIS-MIS-GPS serves as a tool for making decisions on investment in infrastructure facilities
  • It will act as an effective & efficient mechanism for managing the garbage
  • Route optimization-shortest path from the collection point to the dumping yard, saves fuel cost
  • The system, Maximizes the use of all infrastructure facilities
  • It will Help in making decisions about the sorting area, Disposal area, routing analysis and transfer station justification
  • Standardization (Coding systems) of bins, collection points,etc leads to effective way of monitoring
  • Updating and maintaining the data easier
  • Organized way of data presentation
Benefits of GIS
  • Products - Map & data sales
  • Map Server- Locating various elements, bins, collection points etc
  • Training
Efficiency & Effectiveness
  • Increase of 5% Efficiency — in various levels of the departments
  • Improvement in the delivery of goods & services, translates into increased effectiveness
Equity, Accountability & Responsiveness
  • Government data become asset in information structure- To meet demands of business sector & citizens
  • Helps weaker sections through efficient delivery of services & programs
Benefits of GIS

Intangible Benefits
  • Timely response to the public
  • Better decision making
  • Comprehensive information presentation
  • Timely data update
  • Reduced data redundancy
  • Improved data accuracy
  • Improved data consistency
  • Improved data compatibility
  • Improved data accessibility
  • Enhanced data sharing
Uniqueness of the Project
The project is the benchmark in the municipal history of India, in terms of its application from the city level to the health ward level.
  • Indigenously developed
  • No formal GIS software/ tools used
  • Need based project, it was the interest shown by the health department officials and also they are also the end users.
Conclusion
GIS-MIS-GPS for Solid Waste Management (SWM) envisions a future where GIS is recognized as an integral and indispensable information tool for civic management, serving the integrated information needs of the citizens.

The implementation of a GIS represents a journey and not a destination. New uses, new applications and new users will continue to evolve in the foreseeable future. Major benefits will derive from opportunities currently unforeseen. As a result, for the foreseeable future, this project will have no definable end.
