Based on the regulations of Act XLIII/2000 on Waste Management to implement the strategic
objectives and targets in the Act for the prevalence of the basic waste management principles a
National Waste Management Plan II will be worked out and then accepted by the Parliament as
part of the National Environmental Protection Programme.
On the basis of the national plan the administrative bodies of environmental protection in
accordance with the regional settlement and development programmes make a regional waste
management project with the inclusion of the regional, local authorities, and other authorities
concerned as well as the non governmental organisations for environmental protection.
In our research we analyze the correlation between municipal solid waste per capita and
urbanisation level. We have conducted similar calculations in the filed of population density and
income. The study was carried out on a micro region level.
Our analysis can help determine the framework conditions and factors that influence waste
generation, and therefore should be taken into consideration when designing waste policies.
