TI  - Forecasting generation of urban solid waste in developing countries--a case study 
      in Mexico.
PG  - 86-93
AB  - Based on a study of the composition of urban solid waste (USW) and of 
      socioeconomic variables in Morelia, Mexico, generation rates were estimated. In 
      addition, the generation of residential solid waste (RSW) and nonresidential 
      solid waste (NRSW) was forecasted by means of a multiple linear regression (MLR) 
      analysis. For residential sources, the independent variables analyzed were 
      monthly wages, persons per dwelling, age, and educational level of the heads of 
      the household. For nonresidential sources, variables analyzed were number of 
      employees, area of facilities, number of working days, and working hours per day. 
      The forecasted values for residential waste were similar to those observed. This 
      approach may be applied to areas in which available data are scarce, and in which 
      there is an urgent need for the planning of adequate management of USW.
