An assessment of local needs and conditions is essential to support an efficient waste management system, which can be used to select the components and waste management options that best meet these circumstances and their resource requirements. Each of these activities requires careful planning, but the model of sustainable municipal waste management offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary framework. The aim of the research is to develop and present a methodology as an environmental engineering problem that can be applied in practice to evaluate the sustainability of regional municipal waste management systems. As a result of the research, an integrated and interdisciplinary approach will be developed that can be effectively applied at regional level and give an accurate picture of the actual evolution of the role and impact of the waste management planning process and its implementation.
