Correlation Analysis of European Socioeconomic and Waste Management
Structure Pursuant To EU-27 Waste Data - 2018
Aim of this research is to analyze European
Union countries' solid waste data and to make a relation between waste
management system and types of waste in terms of geographic location,
socioeconomic and scientific-technologic perception for each region. According
to common belief in society, the more the income the more the knowledge brings
in which people should generate less domestic waste. In other words, if a country
is economically developed, then its people must be taught well and know how not
to generate more domestic waste. First thing to be considered in this article
is to conclude that belief in any ways. Another point is by using European
Union Statistics Office’s data, namely EuroStat, analyzing each countries’
waste source is observed in this article.That is to say, by knowing a
countries’ production area, energy resource types, cultural behaviour,
agriculture and other socioeconomic structure, an analyze result is aimed to be
provided in this research for observing produced waste and their resource. By
analyzing the socioeconomic structures in numbers, one can predict the future
waste data by understanding the correlation. It is becoming more important to predict
waste generation nowadays because as mentioned in this article, not all the
countries have enough land to apply landfilling process which is both
infficient in terms of economic reasons and disrespectful against the nature.
Since waste management is a fact that needs to be handled depending on how
wastes are generated; thus, socioeconomic struce, precise prediction methods
are required for determining the best option. In this research European Union
data is mostly considered and analyzed because Turkey is included in that data
research for years. One must understand that all these data belong to 2018
because each data is collected twice a year and provided 2 years after. Thus,
2018 data is the most recent one which is released in October 2020 according to
EuroStat Statistics Explained.
