ABSTRACT
This study seeks to identify, examine, and evaluate the repercussions of solid domestic waste generated by the expanding population of Algiers, which is projected to reach 4388,000 by 2020, as indicated in the National Statistics Office's annual report. Disposal of household waste can have adverse impacts on both individuals and their surroundings. Algiers is confronted with a challenge owing to the substantial daily waste output, estimated at approximately 1 kg per inhabitant per day, leading to complexities in its collection and regulation. The primary aim is to establish a spatial analytical framework utilizing geographic information systems to enhance the management of municipal waste within the province of Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. This includes the creation of an extensive database model that will be beneficial to both technical services and the general populace, supplying critical information to facilitate informed decision-making and augmenting public awareness. This research also underscores the significance of GIS technology in the decision-making process.
