Even though solid waste management is widely researched, there is scanty literature addressing the influence of physical environmental attributes on solid waste management service provision in informal settlements. The aim of this study was to investigate the nexus between physical infrastructural planning and waste management service. To obtain relevant results, this study used the case study of Peleng township in Botswana. The study relied on empirical data collected from 91 randomly selected households. ArcGIS was used for mapping 550 purposively selected households, and for visualization of the physical infrastructure. This study concluded that the community is at the forefront of dealing with waste problems in their settlement. However, their interventions have fallen short of becoming profitable and sustainable due to a failure of the government to integrate solid waste management into mainstream urban development planning. The findings revealed that there is minimal government intervention for improved solid waste management in the area. It recommends that adequate attention must be given to road infrastructure and physical developments in order solid waste management in Peleng, Lobatse.

尽管对固体废物管理进行了广泛研究，但很少有文献涉及物理环境属性对非正式住区中固体废物管理服务提供的影响。这项研究的目的是调查基础设施规划与废物管理服务之间的关系。为了获得相关结果，本研究以博茨瓦纳的佩伦镇为例。该研究依赖于从91个随机选择的家庭中收集的经验数据。ArcGIS用于绘制550个有针对性的选定住户的地图以及物理基础结构的可视化。这项研究得出的结论是，社区处于解决定居中的废物问题的最前沿。然而，由于政府未能将固体废物管理纳入主流城市发展规划，他们的干预未能实现盈利和可持续性。调查结果表明，政府几乎没有采取任何干预措施来改善该地区的固体废物管理。它建议必须对道路基础设施和有形发展给予足够的重视，以便在洛巴特佩林进行固体废物管理。
