Estimating the generation of e-waste in governorates is critically needed for sustainable and environmentally sound e-waste management in Jordan. The main objectives of the present study are to quantify and evaluate the annual e-waste generation in all governorates in Jordan and disposal practices. The present study comprises the information of e-waste as classified by the European Union Directive including six main categories (16 United Nations University key items). The survey targeted 15,883 households (12.52% females and 87.48% males), where primary data on e-waste generation and disposal methods were gathered, assessed, and quantified. Subsequently, the survey-based data collected from the study sample have been extrapolated to quantify an e-waste generation inventory for Jordan and the disposal methods using ArcGIS mapping. The study-extrapolated findings reveal that ~8,735,187 e-waste items (13 ktons) had been turned into e-waste and discarded by all households in 2018 in the 12 governorates in Jordan. Moreover, dumping of e-waste is still the dominant disposal method practiced by 58.4% of households in Jordan. The other disposal practices showed that granting of the waste EEE to others has the share of 16.6%; selling (10.7%); delivering the waste EEE for environmentally sound recycling (6.8%); and others practices represented 7.4%. Furthermore, the present study has played a vital role in e-waste awareness dissemination since the findings of the present study have been modeled and shown online by the Department of Statistics, Jordan through the link (https://arcg.is/1KzvjO). Finally, the challenges, barriers, and prospects of e-waste management in Jordan have been explored in the present study.

约旦主要省份电子废物产生、居住行为和处置实践的估计

约旦可持续和无害环境的电子废物管理迫切需要估计各省的电子废物产生量。本研究的主要目标是量化和评估约旦所有省份的年度电子废物产生量和处置做法。本研究包括欧盟指令分类的电子废物信息，包括六个主要类别（16 个联合国大学关键项目）。该调查针对 15,883 个家庭（12.52% 女性和 87.48% 男性），收集、评估和量化了有关电子废物产生和处置方法的原始数据。随后，从研究样本中收集的基于调查的数据已被外推，以量化约旦的电子废物产生清单和使用 ArcGIS 制图的处置方法。研究推断的结果显示，2018 年，约旦 12 个省约有 8,735,187 件电子垃圾（13 千吨）被所有家庭转化为电子垃圾并被丢弃。此外，倾倒电子垃圾仍然是约旦 58.4% 家庭的主要处置方式。其他处置实践表明，将废弃电子电气设备授予他人的份额为 16.6%；销售（10.7%）；提供废 EEE 以进行无害环境回收（6.8%）；和其他做法占 7.4%。此外，由于本研究的结果已由约旦统计部通过链接 (https://arcg.is/1KzvjO) 进行建模和在线展示，因此本研究在传播电子废物意识方面发挥了至关重要的作用. 最后，挑战、障碍、
