In Gaborone, as in other large cities in the developing world, individuals try to make a living by engaging in novel occupations
such as landfill scavenging. This paper reports on a research conducted in the Gaborone landfill, the largest in Botswana.
The study content-analyzed available literature from other countries. It also relied mainly on direct field observations.
The discussions on and answers to closed and interview schedules by stakeholders, affected- and- interested – persons, provided
the information on the threats and opportunities related to the landfill site and its informal management activities. This
on-going case study lends credence to the potential of scavenging in sustaining livelihoods among those who cannot secure
employment in the formal urban market. Scavenging tends to be useful although it may hazardous to the informal entrepreneurs.
Taking all the threats into consideration, the decommissioning and closure of the landfill seems inevitable, in spite of the
apparent short-term livelihood opportunities it provides to the informal sector. 相似文献
