Waste Governance and Sustainable Urban Logistics: Exploring the Case of Izmir in the Context of Environmental Justice
Abstract
Waste management poses a multifaceted challenge, particularly in metropolitan areas, where complex processes of waste collection, transfer, and disposal unfold. The increasing environmental and waste challenges in urban areas necessitate a thorough investigation of waste management through the lenses of reverse logistics and sustainable urban logistics paradigms. This chapter delves into the realm of sustainable urban logistics within the framework of waste governance, emphasizing the perspective of environmental justice. Izmir's solid waste governance, considered an unsuccessful case in sustainable urban logistics, is critically analysed. The chapter examines the unsustainable urban logistics in waste governance, emphasizing resulting injustices and socio-environmental risks. Employing a mixed-methods approach with quantitative, qualitative, and geographical data, the study highlights the environmentally, socially, and economically unsustainable facets of urban logistics, presenting a distinctive example through the lenses of environmental justice and waste governance.
