Estimating The Amount of Municipal Waste in Turkey with the Linear Fuzzy Regression Model
(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2022) Ozer, Fatmanur; Buyukkeklik, Arzum
Waste management in both Turkey and the World has been of great importance in the 21st century. As a developing country, Turkey wants to reach an adequate waste management system like developed countries and tries to harmonize its laws on waste. This study aims to reveal the relationship between municipal waste generation and socioeconomic indicators and estimate the amount of municipal waste generated in Turkey between 2005 and 2019 by using Tanaka's linear fuzzy regression model. This study has revealed indicators affecting the municipal waste generation and generation projection between specific years. Population growth rate, GDP per capita, and literacy rate indicators that were thought to be more effective and easier to reach the data were used as independent variables. The total amount of municipal waste in Turkey was the dependent variable in the modelling. It is expected that the established projection model will benefit the development of forecasts about waste generation in the future and thus will contribute to the investments and planning for waste recovery and safe disposal.
