Study of correlations of statistical parameters with collected municipal solid waste in Croatia in period 2009–2013
Croatia is currently increasing the recycling rates in order to meet the requirements of the European environmental policy, though the efforts do not result in target values. If striving for higher recycling rates, it is advisable to avoid higher environmental costs related to the introduction of changes in the relating methods and technology. This could be achieved through careful, knowledge- based planning and assessments. The complexity of the task to increase the recycling rates while avoiding an increase in the environmental costs becomes evident when one takes into consideration the heterogeneity of Croatia’s characteristics such as climate, terrain, and urban and rural population distribution. In addition, there are differences in the income, employment rate and economic activities dictated by the climate and terrain (tourism or agriculture). In this paper, we research the MSW generation mechanism – how the country’s statistical parameters are correlated with generated MSW, enabling the prediction of the response in MSW generation to changes in country’s statistics. In addition, we inspect the correlations among the statistical parameters used in research. Here presented study relies on county’s specific data, which enable the grouping of the counties by similarity and gives results better adjusted to counties’ specifics. Analysis groups are whole country, country without capital Zagreb, continental and coastal group of counties. The time scope of the analysis is five year period 2009- 2013.
