The environment in which we live is an important part of our everyday life, therefore preserving the environment is the duty of every individual and, in a systemic sense, of every country as well. Illegal dumping sites pose a significant threat to the environment, public health, and safety, as hazardous waste can also be present at these sites. Despite efforts to clean up, the number of illegal dumping sites in Slovenia is not decreasing, as new ones continue to emerge at the same rate as they are removed. This highlights the need to reduce the creation of new illegal dumping sites or increase the remediation of existing ones. Additionally, there are still many undiscovered or unreported illegal dumping sites in Slovenia, necessitating public engagement to help decrease the number of undocumented sites.
In this thesis, we delve into the discussed issue and develop an information technology(IT) solution that facilitates easier tracking and reporting of illegal dumping sites in Slovenia. The first part includes an overview of the current state of illegal dumping sites in Slovenia, their formation, methods of preventing their occurrence, presentation of current systems for reporting illegal dumping sites and regulations governing illegal dumping sites in Slovenia. In the information section, we design, implement, and evaluate an IT solution that addresses identified needs and challenges.The evaluation was conducted using the TAM model, it demonstrated that our solution is practical, and there is an interest in its use for reporting or checking the status of illegal dumping sites in Slovenia.
