Dynamic Analysis of Construction and Demolition Waste Management System (A Case Study of Tehran, Iran)

Increasing construction and demolition (C&D) waste generation has faced serious challenges in the metropolitan areas of Iran. The objective this research is to present a system dynamics model for C&D management Tehran. In particular, variables such as energy consumption carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions city Tehran horizon 2041 are studied predicted. rate housing urban infrastructure will increase and, on other hand, demand raw materials, which contrary principles sustainable development. quarries exploitation can reduce buildable area city. impacts factors cyclic systemic approach that either reinforces destructive factor or balances existing solution. general, assessment implementation nonimplementation recycling each requires insight examines aspects subject with perspective over time. To end, dynamic approach, along environmental economic life cycle, clarify hidden dimensions problem. One important limitations large number finding reliable historical information these variables.
