The increasing world population and the growing quantity of solid waste have become a challenging problem facing governments and policy makers because of the scarcity of suitable sites for new landfills and the negative perception of these sites by the people. This study aims to evaluate the performance of different Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis (MCDA) approaches using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) data for identifying suitable landfill sites (LFSs). We evaluated the methodologies used by various investigators and selected appropriate ones as suitable sites for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill in the Tanjero River Basin (TRB) in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. We applied Boolean Overlay (BO), Weighted Sum Method (WSM), Weighted Product Method (WPM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to allow combined use of 15 thematic layers as predictive factors (PFs). In this study, we applied the Topographic Position Index (TPI) for the first time to select MSW LFSs. Almost all methods showed reliable results and we identified eight suitable sites situated in the western part of the TRB having total area of ~18.35 km2. The best accuracy was achieved using the AHP approach. This paper emphasizes that the approach of the used method is useful for selecting LFSs in other areas, which are located in similar environments.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The problem of Urban Municipal solid waste disposal is a challenging task faced by civic bodies and planning authorities in almost all the cities of rapidly developing countries like India. A similar situation is being faced by Dehradun, the capital, and the fastest growing city of Uttarakhand, India. In the current study, an attempt has been made to find out the suitable sites for waste disposal in the area around Dehradun city using Geospatial Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques from remote sensing data. Two different decision rules of MCDA are used, namely, Analytical Hierarchical Process based Weighted Linear Combination (AHP – WLC) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). WLC has been used previously for similar studies for its ease and simplicity to apply in raster format but TOPSIS has an advantage over WLC, it orders a set of alternatives on the basis of their separation from the ideal point. It defines the best alternative as the one that is simultaneously closest to the ideal alternative and farthest from the negative ideal point. Raster-based suitability analysis has been done and the results obtained by the two methods are compared. Identical results with minor differences identifying best suitable sites outside the eastern boundary of the city where the existing dumping site is located are obtained. Also, new potential sites are identified in the western part of the city which faces the problem of waste disposal more acutely because of expansion of the city in that direction.</p>

“…Waste management-the collection, transportation, processing, recycling, or disposal of waste materials-is central to the environment, human health, and local aesthetics. Waste management has increasingly become a major concern in most cities in developing countries, including Ado Ekiti Southwest Nigeria [1][2][3]. According to Iorhemen et al [4], the current method of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment across most Nigerian cities remains open burning at disposal sites.…”

The use of landfills has been applauded in municipal solid waste management as a critical solution to open dumping and burning. Selection of suitable landfill sites presents a challenge as it involves integration of numerous criteria in waste management and sustainability template without prejudice to the environment. The aim of this paper is to delineate appropriate sites for landfills in the basement complex of Ado-Ekiti, South-western Nigeria. The need for landfill sites that meet scientific and environmental requirements is compelling. Landsat-8 OLI & TIRS images of 2016 and ASTER imagery (30m resolution) were acquired to generate land use/land cover maps and site selection criteria. The composite image was subjected to supervised classification using the maximum likelihood algorithm in ArcGIS 10.2.2. The classification permitted the extraction of the land use of urban areas (settlements), agricultural areas, and bare land. Geoelectrical characterization was deployed to produce in situdata. Integration of data using a weighted overlay yielded a landfill suitability index map that classified the area into four categories of unsuitable, partly suitable, moderately suitable, and very suitable locations of landfill sites. Sanitary landfills are desirable to mitigate the adverse effects of widespread open dumping. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-03-05 Full Text: PDF
