每一個國家的緊急應變事件中，天然災害引起的大量額外廢棄物問題之管理是一個重要的課題；有鑑於宏都拉斯的所遭遇到的自然現象，特別是暴風雨災害，對於土地、經濟和人民的衝擊甚大，因此，這項研究旨在針對宏都拉斯首都德古西加巴遭遇暴風雨災害時的廢棄物管理之因應方針。論文研究的範圍包括受災害範圍之廢棄物產生量估計，及評估該城市可作為災害產生之廢棄物 (以下簡稱災害廢棄物) 的暫存地點，以作為災害廢棄物之臨時管理場所。 本研究採用由美國陸軍工兵署開發之數學模式，模式之參數包括家戶數、暴風雨強度、植被的數量、商業結構和降雨量等，用以估計災害廢棄物產生量。ArcGIS 地理資訊工具被用來評估分析災害廢棄物暫存地點。由所設定之參數推估結果，一場暴風雨於德古西加巴市可產生額外廢棄物 (於所設定之最嚴重條件下) 324,000 公噸 (約800%額外產量)，鄰近德古西加巴市之災害暫存區所需面積約 70 公頃。 Disaster waste management is an issue that needs to be considered in the emergency plans of every country because large quantities of extra waste will be generated by the disaster crisis. Honduras’ exposure to natural phenomena, especially storm disasters, is extremely high causing severe impacts to its territory, economy, and people. Therefore, this study aimed to provide some waste management guidance in an event that a storm disaster affects the country of Honduras and more specifically its capital city Tegucigalpa. The scope of the thesis was to provide waste generation estimates in areas of the city with a higher risk of being affected and also to locate a potential place where the great quantities of disaster waste could be managed before its final disposal. An equation model developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers was applied, and factors such as amount of households, storm intensity, amount of vegetation, amount of commercial structures, and precipitation were used to calculate the generation of extra waste due to a storm disaster. The geoprocessing tools of ArcGIS were used to analyze different parameters to narrow out different areas that could serve as potential sites for the management of disaster waste. The results of this study show that an approximate amount of 324,000 tons of extra waste (corresponding to approximately 8 times the annual solid waste) could be possibly generated by a worst-case scenario during a storm disaster and that this quantity of waste could be stored for later management in an area of nearly 70 hectares located in the vicinity of the city of Tegucigalpa.
