世界各地的许多垃圾场已被关闭，以解决拾荒者面临的安全、健康和环境危害，如潜在的陆面、疾病和污染。因此，（前）拾荒者周围的环境可能更安全、更清洁。虽然关闭垃圾场可能是保护拾荒者的一种社会正义行为，但是，在某些情况下，继续居住在这些地点的前拾荒者的收入和生活水平已经恶化。本案例研究借鉴批判理论，采用观察和访谈的方法，考察了菲律宾Payatas垃圾场关闭后的情况。本研究通过扩展、批判和重新概念化批判理论来解决垃圾场关闭后产生的问题，从而增加了先前对批判性城市和区域研究的研究。
Numerous garbage dumpsites worldwide have been closed down to address the safety, health and environmental hazards facing waste pickers, such as potential landsides, diseases and pollution. As a result, the environment surrounding the (former) waste pickers may have been safer and cleaner. While the closure of garbage dumpsites may be an act of social justice to protect waste pickers, however, in some cases, the incomes and living standards of former waste pickers who continue to reside at these sites have been aggravated. Drawing on critical theory, and using observations and interviews, this case study examined the post-dumpsite-closure situation of Payatas in the Philippines. This study augments previous research on critical urban and regional studies through the presentation of a meta-critical theory by expanding, critiquing and reconceptualizing critical theory to address the problematic post-dumpsite situation created through the closure of the dumpsite.
