Abstract
This study aimed to find factors used in the selection of appropriate waste management systems and guidelines of Lam Ta Sao municipality, Lamtasao town municipality, Ayutthaya province, Thailand to create a choice of project formats that guide the future of municipal solid waste development. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to analyze important factors and the results of prioritization are used to determine guidelines for creating final municipal solid waste management system options. The study found that personnel and cognitive factors have the highest priority (14.95%), followed by cooperation and process factors (14.34%), area conditions factors (12.90%), strategic waste management support factors (11.03%), economic factors (10.36%), social conditions factors (9.56%), waste management systems factors (8.53%), personnel potential factors (8.38%), budget factors (5.14%) and material factor (4.81%) respectively. The results of prioritizing factors can be used to create alternative models to develop waste management guidelines, which can be divided into 5 characteristics: (1) Options for determining personnel development guidelines. (2) Choice of various methods and processes for waste disposal to support the disposal of each type of waste. (3) Appropriate waste management options through participatory processes. (4) Options for setting waste management guidelines in multiple situations with a spatially integrated method and (5) Choice of concepts and working principles that are consistent with the waste management strategy. The factors obtained from this study can be used as the main guideline for selecting a waste management model in the study area. Other related spatial data can also be added as supplementary data for determining the other necessary details. However, this study still requires the use of many working mechanisms, especially those of the government sector. Moreover, this study also requires the use of up-to-date studies of all dimensions of data to be able to develop better efficiency.
