Abstract:
The algorithm of the application of Google Earth software tools for the processing of satellite data about storage facilities of domestic waste is described. The authorized areas of domestic waste and spontaneous dumps have been identified by number, area and characteristics in the city of Kyiv and in the suburban area. It was found that most dumps are located at a dangerously close distance from residential development, which in some cases exceeds the norma-tive indicators. The authors used the methodical approach in defining the area which is unsuitable for housing development and growing of agricultural crops as well as the area of environmentally destructive influence around the dumps. The sequence of actions, participation of stakeholders and their functions is substantiated in order to form a modern utilization industry of domestic waste. It is offered to use the public welfare function to define the effect of waste pro-cessing. Collected and systematized cartographic images of garbage landfills, spontaneous dumps and its ecologically destructive influence on the environment are a formed demonstration and evidence base for proving the importance of reorientation of waste management in Ukraine, the transition from storage on landfills to the proper processing of domestic waste.
