Reviewer 2 Report
This paper presents an interesting GIS analysis methodology to identify the solid waste generation in Bogota.
Overall, the content is concisely written. Below are some minor comments:
1. Page 3. Table 1. Please add a short description of the meaning of strata levels, e.g. the higher the wealthier or otherwise, as most reader will unlikely to be familiar with the classification.
2. Page 4. Meaning of PPCstr i and the objective function is not clearly explained. What does it imply?
3. Figure 1. Please increase the resolution of the figure. The wording on the map cannot be read clearly.
4. Page 8. Please elaborate what is the four scenarios represent. We can understand the calculation, but what is the meaning of considering the four scenarios?
