A Strategic model of municipal solid waste minimization based on decision-making and public participation

Municipal waste management is a public issue with health, environmental, economic and social implications at the home, local, national and international levels, so the scope of management of this category is very wide and variable, for such an organization there is no other way but strategic management. This qualitative-quantitative study was done with the help of smart pls2 software with the aim of designing a strategic model of minimization of solid waste management through maximum participation of citizens and stakeholders in decision making. It can be acknowledged that the optimal participation of all internal and external stakeholder organizations and citizens in the policy and executive systems of waste management is very important in order to achieve the goal of quality improvement. In this way, it has been tried to establish a two-way relationship between the citizens and the private sector with the public sector through the participation of all sectors. So, the final consumers of waste, can interact with the municipalities through councillors and community center and provide to reduce waste mechanisms to receive citizens' opinions and attract citizens' participation. In fact, cities and municipalities should not try to do everything alone.
