Summary
Movement towards more sustainable waste management practice has been identified
as a priority in the whole of the EU. The EU Waste Management Strategy's
requirements emphasizes waste prevention; recycling and reuse; and improving final
disposal and monitoring. Integrated waste management systems can be defined as
the selection and application of suitable and available techniques, technologies and
management programs to achieve waste management objectives and goals. As a
result of the complexity and uncertainty occurring in sustainable waste management
systems, the fuzzy cognitive map method is used with the combination of the
bacterial evolutionary algorithm to support the planning and decision making
process of integrated systems. Since the fuzzy cognitive map method is formed for a
selected system by determining the concepts and their relationships, it is possible to
quantitatively simulate the system considering its parameters. Several techniques
were used in order to produce the input data of the simulation process. The goal of
this paper is to present the process of data production.
