Sažetak
The development of the organic matter decomposition model in mixed municipal waste is presented in the paper. The decomposition takes place in two main processes: aerobic and anaerobic. The whole system, according to system theory, belongs to complex ecosystems. Model development begins with conceptualisation. Because the process belongs to hybrid systems (continuous and discrete states are changing) for conceptualization, the model for discrete simulation (the Activity Cycle Diagram (ACD)), but also for systems dynamics (Flow Chart) was used. To evaluate the simulation model, the Rank Sum Test (or Mann-Whitney Utest) was used. The research conducted for the purposes of this paper is reflected in an interdisciplinary field covering information science and ecology and environmental protection (eco-informatics), which enables the systematic study and proposing of measures for environmental protection, by transferring environmental testing to the simulation model. The developed model is adaptive and portable, in terms of the application of such systems at other locations, that is, with different values of input pollution concentrations. Methods of modelling and conceptualizing such situations contribute significantly to environmental protection and human health.
