Abstract
This bibliography explores the body of literature that interfaces between professional land use planning and the management of waste. The author has been struggling to understand the dynamics of waste facility siting failures and the sustained public opposition that has become ubiquitous in Canada and the United States. Waste planners may have displayed a general ignorance or intellectual neglect regarding fundamental planning models and theory. This neglect may help us to understand why waste planning appears to be prone to failure. This bibliography provides some foundational readings in planning models that may help us link waste management and planning theory. A literature review was undertaken, with a focus on refereed journals. Three distinct types of refereed journals were examined: planning, waste management and environmental management. Articles were screened for evidence of six planning models as they relate to waste management, including the comprehensive rational, incremental, adaptive, contingency, advocacy, and participatory models.
