Using of GIS Tools for Analysis of Organic Waste Management in Slovenia Region Pomurje

AbstractThis paper introduces the possibility of using publicly available geographic spatial data for the study of biogenic waste management. A number of spatial data is publicly accessible in digital form on web portals or in a form of data layers, generated within various European initiatives and/or projects. Many data is accessible in a tabular form in municipal records. This paper systematically processes publicly available digital cartographic data on biogenic waste in Slovenia and data on collected waste in the Pomurje municipalities in 2011. These are collected to show the possible use of existing data sources for further analysis collection, determination of potential and optimization of material flow. A Geographic Information System (GIS) has been developed from the available data, which forms a good device for further analyses of such issues in combination with other publicly accessible digital geographical data layers. Practical examples show the collected data for the municipalities in Pomurje, and describe how to save the issue of managing biogenic waste and contribute to the increased use of alternative energy sources, using these tools
