Randomized trial investigates the links between economic activity and solid waste generation in Thai provinces, suggesting better waste policies.

This study examines how satellite-derived indicators relate to solid waste generation across provinces in Thailand.
Analyzed data from the 2024 Annual Report on solid waste by province
Utilized satellite data for spatial proxies via Google Earth Engine
Employed spatial analysis techniques like autocorrelation and clustering
Provincial solid waste generation is spatially clustered and influenced by geographic context
Socioeconomic activity and urbanization show a positive association with waste generation
Precipitation has a modest negative association with waste generation, indicating broader climatic influences

Kitipacharadechatron et al. (2026) studied this question.
