“…Recycling, composting and landfilling are the most common methods for municipal solid waste management (Chandrappa and Brown 2012;Ludwig et al 2003). The combination of these management techniques is utilized to manage municipal solid wastes, but the existence of sanitary landfill could not be ignored in an MSW management system (Kharlamova et al 2016;Santhosh and Sivakumar 2018). Sanitary Landfill is a conventional method for municipal wastes because Editorial responsibility: Binbin Huang.…”

The current study presents the integration of geographical information system (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for municipal landfill site selection, a case example in Iran. In the first step, useful criteria were determined based on the literature review, national standards and regulations, expert opinion, data availability and regional characteristics. Several criteria including distance from groundwater resources, distance from surface water, distance from urban and rural areas, distance from protected areas, land use, distance from faults, distance from roads and the slope were selected, and a hierarchical structure was formed for landfill suitability. The maps of the criteria were prepared using ArcGIS 10.2. Using different fuzzy membership functions, the maps were standardized. An AHP-based pairwise comparison was applied to calculate the weights of the parameters, and standardized maps were overplayed using the weighted layer combination approach to gain the landfill suitability map in the study area. The final map was assorted into four suitability classes, i.e., high, moderate, low and unsuitable regions. The result indicates that almost 92% of the study area is inappropriate and cannot be considered as landfill. The comprehensive field visits were performed to further assessment, and finally, three candidate sites were suggested. The result illustrated that an integrating approach of GIS and MCDA is effective in landfill site selection.

“…Barakat et al (2017) study conducted to identify candidate landfill sites using geographic information system (GIS) and multi-criteria evaluation techniques in Béni Mellal-Khouribga Region and the results showed that this study could help planners and local and regional authorities to better manage the solid waste in the region (Barakat et al, 2017). Santosh and Sivakumar Babu (2018) assessed groundwater vulnerability to contamination using the standard DRASTIC method. The presented approach assists decision-makers in selecting reliable locations for the safe disposal of MSW Santosh & Sivakumar Babu, 2018).…”

“…Composting and recycling waste are the most usual ways for MSW management in the world [4,5]. The merge of these management methods is employed to manage MSW; however, the existence of a hygienic landfill could not be disregard in a Municipal Solid Wastes management system [6,7]. The hygienic landfill is an accepted technique for municipal wastes there for the building expense and plain process, and it is a necessary part of Municipal Solid Wastes systems [8,9].…”

“…To decrease the opposed impacts on the environment, it is essential to consider all environmental standards in selecting landfill sites. Further, economic and social items play a fundamental role in selecting landfill sites because of the commercial expense, just like the social protest [13,14,15]. The different environmental, economic and social factors make a complex operation in the selection of landfill sites, and it is hard to collect and analyze various parameters and perform the conclusion clearly [16,17].…”

Landll siting is a complex and challenging operation. It is one of the fundamental problems in waste management, where it is necessary to consider different conditions when it comes to selecting an appropriate site for landll in each area. The factors or criteria we used in this article are environmental, economic, and social criteria. In this research, the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were utilized to select the most suitable sites for landll in Paveh, which the current landfill in this county does not follow environmental laws. In the process of zoning sites for landll in Paveh, twelve various criteria were mapped and join for cover analyses within GIS application to construct the last suitability index map for the site. The weightings of criteria were done with the help of AHP, and the weightings of the criteria were identified based on various factors. For this purpose, we used experts opinions, governmental regulations, and previous literature. Paveh is located in Kermanshah in the western part of Iran with 736 km^2area. The results show that almost 93% of the study areas is improper for landfill sitting.
