   Abstract:

   The aim of the article was to determine to what extent the NIMBY syndrome may hinder the implementation of investments in waste management in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The background of the analysis was the premises of the European Green Deal, including the need to implement a circular economy. The article consists of: an analysis of investment outlays in waste management in Lesser Poland, defining the NIMBY syndrome, and analysis of the results of a survey conducted among respondents in Lesser Poland. As a result of the conducted analysis, it was found that potential investments in waste management should not encounter financing problems. In terms of social resistance, social protests can be triggered by investments in the form of landfills and waste incineration plants. Investments related to waste recycling arouse less public objection. Social opposition grew also when the more pejorative name of the facility was used.
