城市垃圾管理，包括卫生填埋场的管理，是世界范围内的一项紧迫任务。卫生填埋场的清道夫面临着安全和健康问题。他们的人权经常受到社会压迫、非人化和剥削的侵犯。为了解决这些问题，各国政府关闭了许多垃圾填埋场。尽管这些关闭可能带来了更安全、更清洁和更公平的生活环境，但在某些情况下，继续居住在这些地点的前拾荒者的低收入和生活水平加剧了。也就是说，对于不同的利益攸关方(例如，政府官员和拾荒者)，可能存在不同的司法观点。本案例研究以城市社会公正的基础和能力方法为理论框架，采用观察和访谈的方法，考察和解决了菲律宾帕亚塔斯垃圾填埋场后当地居民面临的社会经济复杂情况，试图努力建立一个公正的城市。
Urban waste management, including that of sanitary landfills, is an urgent matter worldwide. Scavengers at sanitary landfill sites face safety and health issues. Their human rights are often violated through social oppression, dehumanization, and exploitation. Numerous landfills have been closed by governments to address these issues. Although these closures may have brought safer, cleaner, and more equitable living environments, in some cases, the low incomes and living standards of former scavengers who continue to reside at these sites have been exacerbated. That is, there may exist different perspectives of justices for respective stakeholders (e.g., government officials and scavengers). Based on the foundation of urban social justice and the capabilities approach as a theoretical framework, and using observations and interviews, this case study examines and addresses the socioeconomic complications faced by the local residents in the post-landfill situation of Payatas in the Philippines in an attempt to work toward establishing a just city.
