Solving Waste Management Data Uncertainties Case Study of South Moravian Region

Abstract

Imprecision of input data is an important characteristic feature of environmental monitoring. When making evaluations, conclusions and the decisions from collected data, one has to be very careful not to make fatal mistake. The main task of information and communication technology (ICT) is to deal with the primary data uncertainty and thus to reduce the risk of mistake. At present new approaches and methodologies to handle data uncertainty are explored as opposite to standard. This paper presents comparison of such new approach against standard one in the case study of the assessment of waste management indicators in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The new approach brings more modular way of dealing with uncertainty and is supposed to bring better results and less workload then standard approach.
