The present investigation is a case study of Lucknow, the main metropolis in Northern India, which succumbs to a major problem of municipal solid waste and its management. A qualitative investigation using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis (SWOT) has been successfully implemented through this community participation study. This qualitative investigation emphasizes the limited capabilities of the municipal corporation's resources to provide proper facilitation of the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) services without community participation in Lucknow city. The SWOT analysis was performed to formulate strategic action plans for MSWM in order to mobilize and utilize the community resources on the one hand and municipal corporation's resources on the other. It has allowed the introduction of a participatory approach for better collaboration between the community and municipal corporation in Lucknow (India). With this stakeholder-based SWOT analysis, efforts were made to explore the ways and means of converting the possible "threats" into "opportunities" and changing the "weaknesses" into "strengths" regarding a community-based MSWM programme. By this investigation, concrete strategic action plans were developed for both the community and municipal corporation to improve MSWM in Lucknow.
本调查是对印度北部主要大都市勒克瑙的一项案例研究，该城市面临城市固体废物及其管理的重大问题。通过这项社区参与研究，成功实施了一项运用优势、劣势、机会和威胁分析（SWOT）的定性调查。这项定性调查强调，在勒克瑙市，如果没有社区参与，市政公司的资源能力有限，无法为城市固体废物管理（MSWM）服务提供适当便利。进行SWOT分析是为了制定MSWM的战略行动计划，一方面调动和利用社区资源，另一方面调动和利用市政公司的资源。它使得在印度勒克瑙引入了一种参与式方法，以促进社区与市政公司之间更好的合作。通过这种基于利益相关者的SWOT分析，努力探索将基于社区的MSWM计划中可能的“威胁”转化为“机会”以及将“劣势”转化为“优势”的方式和方法。通过这项调查，为社区和市政公司制定了具体的战略行动计划，以改善勒克瑙的MSWM。
