Abstract
Island waste transportation involves moving waste material generated within these remote regions, often characterized by limited infrastructure and unique geographic constraints. These conditions frequently create substantial barriers to sustainable waste management, resulting in
inefficient collection and disposal methods, elevated transportation expenses, and detrimental environmental impacts. This research is motivated by previous studies on island transportation planning, which focused on optimizing transportation routes in these regions. Despite existing
literature on island waste transportation, there is a notable gap in addressing the sustainability aspects of waste transportation. This study aims to contribute to the literature by incorporating sustainability criteria into the transportation planning model for waste collection in island and remote regions, and also other issues that might arise in waste transportation, such as community engagement, ecological preservation, and public health safety, among others.
