Tourism Induced Challenges in Municipal Solid Waste Management in Hill Towns: Case of Pahalgam
چالش های ناشی از گردشگری در مدیریت زباله های شهری در شهرهای هیل: مورد Pahalgam-2016 Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is one of the crucial urban basic services which influence the public health
and environment of a town. While hill towns in India are already facing tremendous pressure due to lack of infrastructure,
unfavourable climatic condition, difficult terrain, and public apathy towards waste management, Tourism induced challenges
further aggravate the issue. Although in case of hill towns, tourism has a profound impact on the economy of the town, it comes
with new challenges in terms of waste generation resulting into negative impacts on the sensitive hill environment. It is in this
context, an effort has been made in this paper to examine the current issues and challenges in MSWM practice in Pahalgam, a
small hill town located in the state of J&K, commonly known as “Mini Switzerland”, with special reference to impact of tourism
on overall MSWM of the town. The methodology adopted includes review of case of SWM in other hill towns in India, and the
legal and policy aspects at the national level. Primary survey of households and hotels was conducted by using stratified random
sampling technique. Data was collected through structured questionnaire containing key information related to the issues and
challenges in MSWM with special focus on tourism. Interview of city officials was conducted to capture institutional perspective.
The study revealed that, in Pahalgam, tourism sector is the major generator of solid waste, Religious-touristic activities
during the peak season. The study also finds crucial issues related to lack of capacity of the local body and the issues related to
lack availability of plain land, improper location of waste collection infrastructure due to undulated terrain and inadequate
collection capacity. The study also finds very strong correlation between unscientific disposal of MSW and degrading surface
water quality and increasing occurrence of water borne diseases in the downstream during the peak tourist season.
