The waste management system reorganises during exceptional events to address new constraints linked both to the sudden shift in the quantities, types and mixes of waste, and to the interdependencies with other urban technical systems (road cutting, network congestion, etc.). The involvement in waste management of many stakeholders, particularly from emergency management, evolves. This thesis focuses on these aspects of post-event and waste management around the following question: how do the waste management system and chains transform in the face of strong external constraints, such as those produced by a natural disaster ? Doctoral research uses and specifies a method inspired by functional analysis. It enriches classic studies, which structure the study of the system in two stages - “functional analysis” and “dysfunctional analysis”, by proposing to break down the analysis into six temporalities from natural risk management: the functional system, the pre-disaster, the occurrence of the hazard, the emergency phase, rehabilitation and recovery. The functional analysis is coupled with a chain analysis: the waste management chains are configured in the system to enable the monitoring of their evolution. The method is applied to analyse waste management in the Roya Valley (South France) after Storm Alex in October 2020. Despite the difficulties related to the Covid-19 pandemic, this application phase extended into two field trips (which respectively lasted for a month and a week) which were carried out in 2021 and supplemented by remote interviews. The results show that the hypothesis of considering new waste chains such as a general “disaster waste” chain or even a green disaster waste chain seems reasonable. However, the thesis questions the relevance in terms of preparation and planning of the establishment of such chains, particularly with the uncertainty of their activation and the availability of human, technical and financial means to implement them. Another alternative seems interesting: the possibility of considering waste management as a critical infrastructure (called "activity of vital importance" in France). This qualification could help bring clarity over the responsibilities of waste management stakeholders, and promote the conservation of existing chains even after a disaster. In addition, it might foster the integration of the waste management system into the common culture of crisis management shared between other critical activities, including other urban sociotechnical networks (energy, transport, telecommunications, water and sanitation)

För att se om och hur framtida biståndsinsatser kan förbättras och i större utsträckning bidra till ett mer hållbart och motståndskraftigt samhälle handlar denna uppsats om hur hanteringen av katastrofavfall fungerar och vilka effekter detta avfall har på människors hälsa. Detta undersöks med hjälp av information som samlats in från sekundärkällor samt intervjuer med tre personer som har kunskap och erfarenhet i ämnet. Hälsa och hållbarhet är av betydelse i de riktlinjer som behandlar hantering av avfall i katastrofsituationer. Trots att inga verkliga erfarenheter av katastrofavfalls effekter på människors hälsa finns dokumenterade kan avfallet förorena dricksvatten och öka mängden smittspridande vektorer i området. Tidigare förhållanden i området, låg prioritet av avfall och dålig information till allmänheten är några av de viktigaste funktionerna som förhindrar optimal funktion av en hållbar och sund avfallshantering.

The intensification of extreme natural events, caused by climate change, together with strong urbanization, makes it essential for society to be prepared to cope with these emergency situations. The main priority after a natural event, that hit an anthropized area, is to save all human lives involved in the disaster. Subsequently, it will be necessary to restore a normal situation. Events such as floods, landslides and earthquakes generate a huge amount of debris and rubbles, creating numerous problems during emergency activities. To remedy this, it will be necessary to clean up the affected area as soon as possible, from this material. To ensure that the disaster waste management is efficient, it is necessary to have a protocol or at least a guideline to follow. In the world, a lot of protocols exist to manage the emergency situation after the natural event, but there is not enough information for the disaster waste management. This lack drives local authorities to use empirical management methods. The empirical method is based on experience in the field and does not take into account a scientific methodological approach, that analyses the environmental and economic impact generated by the disaster waste management. The guiding principles should be the reduction of the environmental footprint and of management costs; however, the emergency does not allow to carry out such analyses before choosing a strategy for the management of waste, due to the lack of time.

The need to minimize the impacts caused by disasters, and the solid waste generated, motivated the development of methods and practices for the management of disaster residues all over the world. Orbital remote sensing platforms and manned aircraft have been used in the management of disasters and their residues, even though it restricts them to the most extreme cases. The technological development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially low-cost commercial civil models, and the formulation of legislation that deals with their use, has made their application viable in different areas, including precision mapping. In order to analyze the applicability of these platforms in aid of the diagnosis of disaster waste generation, two sets of photographs previously obtained with an \"off the shelf\" UAV were selected. Then, the processing of these data in PhotoScan was carried out, aiming at the generation of informative maps. It was sought to analyze the capacity of identification, quantification and characterization of the solid residues disposed in the mapped areas. Legal, economic and technical aspects associated to the use of the tool were contemplated, in order to better base the applicability on the question. The results indicated relevant potential of identification and quantification of the residues found, and some limitations in their capacity of characterization. The current legislation, and the economic and technical aspects raised favor the use of commercial mini-VANT for the proposed use, even though in a limited way to disasters where the affected extension is not too extensive. The observance of good practices in the choice of equipment, in the planning and execution of its execution are fundamental for the generation of informative maps containing the positioning, the estimated volume and the estimated composition of the amounts of residues found.

The earthquake disaster causes potential serious economic and human damages for those countries located at the fault zone and the post-disaster construction waste not only has damaged the eco-environment but has brought threat to the victims’ healthy and safety problem. Therefore, this study aims to build up a post-disaster construction waste clean-up and reusing system which is able to coordinate every member belongs to this reverse logistics supply chain. The proposed model have three different objective, minimization of total operating cost, minimization of victims’ mental load and maximization of victims’ satisfaction, and then, discussing the trade-off between those objective functions help government to make the optimal distribution assignment under different political concerning. To test the improving performance of proposed model and the trade-off between objective functions, this study uses diverse scenarios to evaluate the performance of our post-disaster construction waste clean-up system. The results of the numerical experiment show that the operating cost surely cam be improved by coordinating the members of waste clean-up supply chain, and improving victims’ mental load and satisfaction by corresponding objective weight setting. Beside, the study also implies that the potential risk of victims’ protest is exist if the clean-up progressing behind the planned schedule.

Disaster waste management is an issue that needs to be considered in the emergency plans of every country because large quantities of extra waste will be generated by the disaster crisis. Honduras’ exposure to natural phenomena, especially storm disasters, is extremely high causing severe impacts to its territory, economy, and people. Therefore, this study aimed to provide some waste management guidance in an event that a storm disaster affects the country of Honduras and more specifically its capital city Tegucigalpa. The scope of the thesis was to provide waste generation estimates in areas of the city with a higher risk of being affected and also to locate a potential place where the great quantities of disaster waste could be managed before its final disposal. An equation model developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers was applied, and factors such as amount of households, storm intensity, amount of vegetation, amount of commercial structures, and precipitation were used to calculate the generation of extra waste due to a storm disaster. The geoprocessing tools of ArcGIS were used to analyze different parameters to narrow out different areas that could serve as potential sites for the management of disaster waste. The results of this study show that an approximate amount of 324,000 tons of extra waste (corresponding to approximately 8 times the annual solid waste) could be possibly generated by a worst-case scenario during a storm disaster; and that this quantity of waste could be stored for later management in an area of nearly 70 hectares located in the vicinity of the city of Tegucigalpa.
