Abstract：
The absence of accurate information on the state of waste is a challenge to the solid waste management system in Syria. The local authorities commonly estimate the quantity of waste produced and its characterisation, which is the starting point for solid waste management planning. So, this paper aims to evaluate the generation and composition of household solid waste in Homs city, Syria. Also, the study presents factors influencing the waste generation rate and the waste composition. The study was carried out in 300 families from four zones in Homs city, and three sampling stages were conducted during the study duration, which started in July 2017 and ended in February 2019. The outcomes show that an average of 0.68 kg/per/day solid waste generated was calculated for the entire study area in Homs city. Also, the data analysis presents that organic waste constitutes the largest component in the waste mixture (69.1%) followed by plastic (10.6%), inert materials (8.7%), paper (4.6%), textile (2.5%), metal (1.2%), glass (1.1%), wood (0.6%), and hazardous materials (1.6%). The multiple linear regression results showed that the adjusted R 2 value was found to be 0.557, 0.839, and 0.709 for the waste generation per capita, the daily household organic waste generation, and the daily household packaging waste generation, respectively. Also, according to Pearson\'s coefficient values, a positive correlation was found between household waste generation and monthly income (r = 0.626), household size (r = 0.37), and age of the household head (r = 0.517), whereas a negative correlation was found between household waste generation and the education level of the household head (r = -0.649).
摘要：
缺乏关于废物状况的准确信息对叙利亚的固体废物管理系统构成了挑战。地方当局通常估计产生的废物数量及其特征，这是固体废物管理规划的起点。所以,本文旨在评估霍姆斯市生活垃圾的产生和组成，叙利亚。此外，该研究提出了影响废物产生率和废物组成的因素。这项研究是在霍姆斯市四个地区的300个家庭中进行的，在研究期间进行了三个采样阶段，于2017年7月开始，于2019年2月结束。结果表明，霍姆斯市整个研究区域平均产生0.68千克/天的固体废物。此外，数据分析显示，有机废物构成废物混合物中最大的成分(69.1%)，其次是塑料(10.6%)，惰性材料（8.7%），纸张(4.6%)，纺织品(2.5%)，金属（1.2%），玻璃（1.1%），木材(0.6%),和有害物质(1.6%)。多元线性回归结果表明，调整后的R2值分别为人均废物产生量0.557、0.839和0.709，每天产生的家庭有机废物，以及日常家庭包装垃圾的产生，分别。此外，根据皮尔逊的系数值，生活垃圾产生量与月收入呈正相关(r=0.626)，家庭规模(r=0.37)，户主年龄(r=0.517)，而家庭废物产生量与户主的教育水平呈负相关(r=-0.649)。
