| dc.description.abstract | The central problem of my research is on how pollution and waste can be controlled and managed in urban and industrial areas. This is worthy of study because if the above said problem is not studied in order to be properly controlled through proper measures, for example, through policy and legislation, its impact on the environment in general (soil, air, water) will worsen. That will not be in compliance with South Africa's international and Constitutional obligations to protect the environment from pollution. The way in which waste should be managed is also part of the problem that must be studied because of South Africa's endorsement of Agenda 21, /CONF .151126(1992) that focuses on strengthening the roles and capacities of local authorities to achieve sustainable development. It is therefore important to know the problems and their causes that are faced by the institutions charged with the implementation of waste management laws in order to solve those problems. | en_US |
