Design and Implementation of a Mobile Application for Waste Management

Design and Implementation of a Mobile Application for Waste Management.

ABSTRACT

Undoubtedly, “The future is mobile”. Nowadays, digital evolution and mobile developments are carving a new era that affects human behavior and global governance.

Interconnectivity and information flow through various types of modern means create new opportunities for cooperation and ways to work. Waste management could not stay unaffected by these changes.

New potentials are arising for the sector, offering a novel field for innovation, changing the way waste practices are applied.

Aim of this paper is to design an application to deliver sustainable waste management emphasizing on recycling and waste prevention performance.

Furthermore, it presents the opportunities that are involved in using mobile apps in order to improve both the systemic performance of a specific waste management system and the individual behavior of the users.

INTRODUCTION

Historically, mobile technology really began to take off worldwide in the mid-1990s, when the ratio of mobile to fixed line phones went up from about 1:34 (1991), to about 1:8 (1995).

By 2000, there was one mobile phone to less than two mainlines, and by 2003 mobile phone subscriptions had overtaken mainline subscriptions for the first time.

Thus, within the span of about 10 years mobile technology has moved from being the technology for a privileged few, to essentially a mainstream technology.

The growth of mobile technology is conspicuous in developing countries where mobile phones serve as a substitute for fixed lines.

Nowadays, mobile communication technologies are diffusing around the planet faster than any other communication technology to date.

According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) a dramatic increase in the use of mobile technology and a significant growth in mobile broadband subscriptions have been recorded around the globe in 2011.
