Geographic Factors and Urban Solid Waste Disposal System in Meiktila, Mandalay Region Thet Khaing All of the urban areas today, whether large or small, are facing the disposal problems of wastes, both solid and liquid. The larger the urban area and the size of population, the greater are the problems of wastes. Meiktila is one of the largest and most populous towns in Mandalay Region, Central Lowland of Myanmar. It has undulating topography and enjoys tropical dry climate. Uneven topography makes the solid waste collection by garbage trucks more difficult and then it produces disposing the wastes haphazardly in open spaces along the road sides. Thus, open dumps appear throughout the urban area. Number of population is not very significant in disposal system but its concentration is more influential than the physical factors. Indiscriminate disposing of solid waste by the town's residents and commercial activities and improper management on disposal system of the town will produce undesirable results of urban wastes. All stakeholders in the waste stream are responsible for preventing the adverse effects resulted from the undisciplined disposal system of solid wastes. 2014 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000754 https://meral.edu.mm/records/754
