Fundamental factors of local government transparency in the management of urban solid waste
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the variables that may have a significant relationship in relation to the level of transparency in municipal waste management, measured through the Municipal Transparency Index in Waste Management, proposed in the research carried out by Rodríguez- Martin et.al. (2020), applied to a sample of 96 Spanish city councils examining the information published on their transparency websites, relative to the year 2017. The independent variables have been chosen, spanning from demographic, political, management and budgetary fields. The results obtained from the Multiple Linear Regression Model, confirm that the municipalities with the highest level of transparency in Municipal Management of Urban Solid Waste are those with the largest population, with the largest levels of average gross income, those that have the so-called fifth container and, although with less incidence, those that show higher tax revenues.
