ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SOFTWARE FOR INTEGRATED PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF URBAN SOLID WASTE

Abstract

The production of municipal solid waste has grown considerably in recent decades, mainly due to population growth and consumption of industrial products, which creates social, economic and environmental problems. Considering the lack of computerized information systems in Brazil, the management of such waste occurs through disjointed and inaccurate actions. The aim of this paper is to present the analysis and design of an integratedinformation system for public management of urban solid waste to medium size municipalities. The methodology includes an investigation of the current structure of public management of urban solid waste in a city in the south of Brazil; requirements elicitation and the analysis and computerized information system design. This model allows the recording of data, reporting and performance indicators, storing date information seamlessly. We intent, therefore, the possibility of improvements in public management of urban solid waste, bringing advancements like organization and bringing greater reliability to the process.
