Cover Story: The occurrence of illegal waste activities is a worldwide problem, due to improper actions and inadequate services across countries. Geographical Information Systems (GISs) and remote sensing can play a crucial role in optimizing illegal waste management and determining the shortest route paths for waste transportation. This work focuses on the development of a GIS-based workflow for Illegal Abandoned Waste Site (IAWS) detection and the setup of a cost analysis assessment. View this paper
