Study Area:

The Study area for our research will be the Faisalabad region. We will try to find out the areas where the waste disposals are located.

Objectives:

Specific and Ultimate Objective:

The Main Objectives of our research study will be as under:

1. To know the efficiency of solid waste management system in Faisalabadarea.

2. To determine the location of waste disposals

3. To know the sources and reasons of solid wastes production.

4. Role of Industries in production of wastes in a large quantity.

5. Effects of solid wastes on Human beings as well as on other living and non living things.

6. The need to manage the solid waste disposals.

7. To know the Disposal Options used by Municipal.

8. Waste Analyses

Sample Design:

The sample design used for our research study will be of two types stratified sampling and deliberate sampling:

Methodology:

The Next Step for Research study is to determine the methodology through which we will get the different types of data. Good methodology for the selection of relevant data for research is basic of the Study. We will collect different types of statistical and field data using different method.

Data Collection:

In this methodology we will use different data collection methods such as primary data collection method and secondary data collection method. In primary data collection method we will collect data by direct observation, by interviewing focused group and by questionnaire.

And in secondary data collection method we will use different types of information already available such as through early work done on the issue through internet and magazines.


In this process we take the pilot and experience survey and collect data using different techniques e.g we take snaps of the areas where waste material is disposed.

Data Analyses:

In this step we will analyze the collected data. By analyzing data we will be draw final consequences that will be used in final report. By analyzing the solid waste management we can classify the wastes into the following types:

  1. garbage
  2. Rubbish
  3. pathological Wastes
  4. Industrial Wastes
  5. Agricultural Wastes
  6. Sewage Wastes

The following figure show the sewage wastes quantity.


By analyzing the data we come to know that waste materials in the area are main source of spreading diseases among the people such as malaria, typhoid, and cholera. So the need is to settle the waste materials in far off areas. Our analyses will tell us the role of industries in waste disposals. It will also tell us that how much important role is playing municipal authority in waste disposal where it disposes the wastes.

Expected Outcomes:

After analyzing the collected date we will try to find out expected outcomes. In this step we know how much better our study was and how much we got results that we wanted. If we take the example of this research study the expected results and outcomes which we acquire after a rigorous task are:

1.We get the idea of the structure of Waste Management of Faisalabad City

  1. We get the idea how the management authority works
  2. We come to know the places where waste disposals are located
  3. We have got the knowledge why the waste disposal isthere at specific places.
  4. Now we are familiar with every aspects of management system and we know the problems of the authority.
