Abstract

Choosing the most appropriate and practical strategy for solid waste management is a complex undertaking. It requires the identification of relevant perspectives, meaningful criteria, and sound evaluation method. The municipality of Bacoor in the Philippines used Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method to arrive at a chosen waste management strategy – composting – from a holistic set of perspectives. However, the successful implementation of the chosen strategy was proven to depend not only on a sound decision process but also on the reliability and accuracy of projecting uncertain future events.
