Abstract

The abysmal state of municipal solid waste management and its segregation at household level in urban India is the motivation of present study. Segregation of our waste is essential as the amount of waste being generated today has caused an immense problem. Waste segregation is included in law because segregated waste is much easier to recycle. In particular, hazardous wastes can cause long term health problems, so it is very important that they are disposed of correctly and safely and not mixed in with the normal waste coming out of your home or office. The individual component of the existing waste management framework has various challenges and issues. Thus, this research work proposes an efficient framework for household waste management and segregation system. There is a need to cultivate community awareness and change the attitude of people towards waste segregation as this is fundamental step to develop proper and sustainable waste management systems because in a world limited of adequate resources, judicious use of every resource is the fundamental step.

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The scholar’s spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholar's spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
