This study analyzed barriers in 432 waste management projects, identifying five key types: sociopolitical, technological, regulatory, financial, and human resources. These constraints impact project feasibility and performance, similar to renewable energy initiatives.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Project Management
- Sustainable Development
Background:
- Waste management projects face significant challenges impacting their feasibility and performance.
- Analysis of 432 large waste management projects registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from 2004-2014.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate and describe the barrier system limiting waste management projects.
- To propose a conceptual model (STAR) for waste management barriers, supported by literature and project documents.
Main Methods:
- Computer-assisted qualitative content analysis (CAQCA) methodology.
- Utilized qualitative data analysis (QDA) software NVivo® with 890 fragments for analysis.
Main Results:
- Identified five main barrier categories: sociopolitical, technological, regulatory, financial, and human resources.
- Waste management projects share barriers with other renewable energy initiatives.
- Developed the STAR model to illustrate the interactivity and dynamics of these barriers.
Conclusions:
- The STAR model provides insights into the interrelationships of waste management barriers.
- Further research is needed to fully understand these relationships and develop mitigation strategies.
- Addressing these barriers is crucial for improving waste management project success and sustainability.
