The Syrian civil war, which broke out in 2011, caused the displacement of more than one million refugees to Jordan. Most of them settled in the Northern Govenorates of Jordan. Due to this, the local services and infrastructures of the hosting communities, in particular the solid waste management (SWM), were put under great pressure. The aim of this study is to evaluate how the off-camp refugees impacted the SWM in the Greater Irbid Municipality (GIM; in the Irbid Governorate), both quantitatively and qualitatively. Data and results obtained from the studies carried out before the Syrian crisis are compared with data collected by the authors in 2016 using similar or comparable methodologies. Moreover, local citizen perceptions of and satisfaction with the solid waste (SW) service level were assessed. A deterioration of the SWM in GIM between 2011 and 2016 was observed in terms of service performance indicators (e.g., an increase of SW collection and transportation costs by 2.5 times and of fines for improper SW disposal by 2.2 times) and of citizens’ views (a decline in SWM quality was felt by 59% of the respondents). An attempt to cope with this situation has been made in recent years with international donors mobilizing efforts and resources to enable municipalities to meet the growing demand in basic SW services. There is however, still much to be done.

2011年爆发的叙利亚内战导致超过100万难民流离失所到约旦。他们中的大多数人定居在约旦北部的总督府。因此，东道社区的当地服务和基础设施，特别是固体废物管理（SWM），承受着巨大的压力。本研究的目的是从数量和质量上评估营地外难民如何影响大伊尔比德市 (GIM；在伊尔比德省) 的 SWM。从叙利亚危机之前进行的研究中获得的数据和结果与作者在 2016 年使用类似或可比较的方法收集的数据进行了比较。此外，还评估了当地公民对固体废物 (SW) 服务水平的看法和满意度。2011 年至 2016 年间，GIM 的 SWM 在服务绩效指标（例如，SW 收集和运输成本增加 2.5 倍，对 SW 处置不当的罚款增加 2.2 倍）和市民意见（ 59% 的受访者认为 SWM 质量下降）。近年来，为了应对这种情况，国际捐助者努力调动资源和资源，使市政当局能够满足对基本 SW 服务不断增长的需求。然而，仍有许多工作要做。近年来，为了应对这种情况，国际捐助者努力调动资源和资源，使市政当局能够满足对基本 SW 服务不断增长的需求。然而，仍有许多工作要做。近年来，为了应对这种情况，国际捐助者努力调动资源和资源，使市政当局能够满足对基本 SW 服务不断增长的需求。然而，仍有许多工作要做。
