Abstract
The collection and transportation of domestic solid waste in Hue City in particular and other cities in Vietnam generally are still manually implemented, which require a lot of manpower and costly operation but get low economic efficiency and management difficulties in return. This article with the title of GIS application in optimizing the route of collecting and transporting domestic solid waste in Hue City aims to shorten the maximum distance of waste collection and transportation in order to reduce the number of waste trucks. From the research results, the number of daily trucks reduces by 7 from 20 trucks to 13 ones, which contributes to the dramatic reduction in collection and transportation operation cost, saves manpower, and minimizes potential environmental issues.
