Abstract:
The study aimed to identify the policy of solid waste management work in the major municipalities in the southern Palestinian governorates. The study targeted five major municipalities out of 25 municipalities distributed over the governorates of Gaza Strip, due to their greater geographical and population influence than the rest of the other municipalities represented in the municipality of Rafah, Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah, Gaza, Jabalia al-Nazla. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the descriptive analytical approach that attempts to describe the phenomenon under study. The Legal Department and the Health and Environment Department, numbering 106 employees, work in those departments. 70 questionnaires were returned with a recovery rate of approximately 66%. The level of application of solid waste management policy factors in the major municipalities in Gaza Strip was moderate. The study recommended paying attention to the private sector and involving it in the solid waste management system by providing government facilities and funded feasibility studies to encourage the private sector to invest in the solid waste sector, creating strong control and information systems that help in managing the solid waste file effectively, providing community awareness programs that contribute to actively involve the community in solid waste management.
