PhD thesis deals with the application of simulation, forecasting and optimization methods in the waste management. An introduction describes current state and outlook in the waste management in the Czech Republic. The following chapter analyzes the available data base in the field of the waste management in the Czech Republic, focusing on the specifics and problems such as variable availability of spatially and hierarchically structured, heterogeneous input data. The core work is the computational tool named Justine, which represents the balance system, ensuring consistency of values for the standalone and aggregated data, in terms of their composition and distribution in intended area and time. Development of the tool was motivated by the need to predict the production and composition of various types of waste. The application of the concept is shown in three case studies, focusing on the prognosis of hazardous waste, the forecast of production and composition of municipal solid waste and components of separated waste collection, and estimation of the waste with waste-to-energy potential, all in the Czech Republic. The outputs of the tool represent valuable inputs for the related optimization supply chain models, which are used e.g. for the design of new waste-to-energy facilities.
