In our world, with the increase of factors such as the rapid and irresponsible consumption of natural resources, man-made environmental disasters, global warming, and pollution of water resources, solid wastes have to be stored or disposed of more effectively. The presentation of the data required to solve spatial problems such as storage, management, and location selection can be carried out extensively and effectively using geographic information systems (GIS). On the other hand, the unsatisfactory results obtained with GIS recently have made it mandatory to use spatial multiple-criteria decision-making (S-MCDM) methods that include the decision-makers in the process. In this study, RSWSA site selection was carried out in eight cities under the responsibility of the Eastern Black Sea Project Regional Development Administration (DOKAP). A combination of GIS and S-MCDM was used in this site selection process. A total of eight data layers were used in the site selection application. Afterwards, storage areas determined as suitable via GIS analysis underwent additional evaluation, taking into account geological, seismic, and environmental factors as well as transportation costs. In addition to these multi-component evaluations, odor analyses were carried out on the proposed storage areas using the prevailing wind direction.

“…The CNS have set strict standards for the evaluation criteria of landfill site selection and Delphi is an improved expert scoring method, which utilizes the questionnaire to continuously iterate four times anonymously to investigate the scientific evaluation of multidomain experts on decision-making problems (Ahmed et al, 2020) Hydrogeological aspects should be considered to avoid potential groundwater contamination in semi-arid valley basins caused by the leakage of landfill leachate, while ensuring the safety of construction and operation (Karakus et al, 2020). Morphological aspects were taken into account to reduce construction costs and increase stability during construction (Bahrani et al, 2016).…”

The siting of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills is a complex decision based process that involves multiple hydrogeological, morphological, environmental, climatic, and socio-economic criteria. In a fuzzy logic environment, DEMATEL and ANP methods were employed to comprehensively consider uncertainty, fuzziness of data and the subjective scoring and stability of results to enhance the spatial decision-making process. Primarily, 21 criteria were identified in five groups through the Delphi method at 30m resolution, criteria weights were determined via the integration of DEMATEL and ANP, and seven sets of membership functions were simulated to obtain the best fuzzy logic environment. Combining GIS spatial analysis and the three clustering algorithms (DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, and OPTICS), candidate sites that satisfied the landfill conditions were identified, and the spatial distribution characteristics and reachability were analyzed. These sites were subsequently ranked utilizing the MOORA, WASPAS, COPRAS, and TOPSIS methods to verify the reliability of the results by conducting sensitivity analysis. This paper focuses on a flexible and novel framework for the selection of MSW landfill sites for Lanzhou, which is a semi-arid valley basin city in China. In contrast to common techniques, this model not only made the best recommendation scientifically and efficiently but could also provide accurate assessment data for decision makers in landfill construction and high-quality urban development.

“…The basin landform is surrounded by mountains on three sides and with "S" or "Y" gullies extending in the open direction, which is conducive to reducing pollution risks, providing sufficient space, while extending landfill service and resource utilization (Sureshkumar et al, 2017).The bottom of the basin or valley is gentle and wide, and the landfill space is sufficient, which is conducive to extending the landfill service (Sureshkumar et al, 2017). For the LSSR, the reduction of excessive damage to surface vegetation should be considered (Kara and Doratli, 2012). In the study area, the vegetation distribution is affected by natural factors such as climate, soil, hydrology, and landform, showing obvious meridional and vertical zonal distribution.…”

The rational and scientific selection of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill sites is becoming increasingly important, due to the continuous growth of MSW worldwide. Multi-source information is employed to ensure the accuracy of the evaluation criteria, including hydrogeological, morphological, environmental, climatic and socio-economic data. In the fuzzy logic environment, a Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and GIS spatial technique have been utilized to locate potential landfill sites. Landfill Site Selection Results (LSSR) were divided into three categories: suitable, less suitable, and unsuitable. Suitable areas were further divided into high, moderate, and low levels. We used the field investigations of 28 standardized landfill sites in the Hexi Corridor of China that comply with the China National Standard (CNS) to verify the LSSR. These sites are then ranked utilizing group fuzzy MULTIMOORA. These methods were more feasible and accurate in assessing the suitability of MSW landfills. The highlights of our methods were as follows: (1) The uncertainty of AHP expert scoring reduced by employing the fuzzy membership function, and the decision efficiency of spatial analysis improved as well. (2) Verification results showed that the main LSSR met the CNS perfectly and located suitable areas, with an accuracy of 93% (26 out of 28 sites). (3) In the highly suitable areas, 11 candidate areas were selected for the MSW landfill site construction in the Hexi Corridor. Furthermore, technical countermeasures for the standardized management of MSW landfills were proposed for the Hexi Corridor, which is critical for ecological/environmental protection.
