Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper approaches an actual theme of current society, with profound ecological, social and economical inferences, respectively waste management. Following observations made in the 2004 – 2008 period by the Centre for Environmental Research and Impact Assessment within the University of Bucharest, were identified areas with the largest exposure to uncontrolled waste deposits in the Bucharest metropolitan area. Therefore, based on representative indicators were identified and classified areas with higher vulnerabilities to uncontrolled waste deposits, being selected limit areas, such as the river banks, leisure forests, vegetable areas, spaces from the proximity of transport routes and abandoned fields.
