Abstract. Each stage of the planning process should be based on the natural resource protection, in the sense of environmental sensitive and sustainable urban planning. Values, which are vital for the continuity of the life in the Earth, as soil, water, forest etc. should be protected from the undesired effects of the pollution and the other effects caused by the high urbanization levels. In this context, GIS-MCDM based solid waste landfill site selection is applied for Izmir, Turkey, where is a significant attraction place for tourism. As Multi criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used. In this study, geological, tectonically and hydrological data, as well as agricultural land use, slope, distance to the settlement areas and the highways are used as inputs for AHP analysis. In the analysis stage, those inputs are rated and weighted. The weighted criteria are evaluated via GIS, by using weighted overlay tool. Therefore, an upper-scale analysis is conducted and a map, which shows the alternative places for the solid waste landfill sites, considering the environmental protection and evaluated in the context of environmental and urban criteria, are obtained.

“…This research presents a case study of a location analysis procedure that is an integral part of military intelligence operations on the battlefield during the base selection stage. Site selection using GIS is a well-established use of geospatial data [5,[14][15][16][17]. Armed forces use GIS in cartography, combat area management, military deployment, intelligence, and terrain analysis, allowing decision makers and commanders to obtain useful data and information.…”

In a military context, the collection, analysis, and use of geographic data can provide leaders with timely and accurate information on which to base decisions. GIS systems are used to store, manipulate, analyze, and manage all types of geodata, and are widely used by many military organizations in military decision making processes (MDMPs). Apart from accuracy, usage of GIS in MDMPs has provided many advantages, becoming a powerful and popular tool in the militaries of developed countries. However, even though GIS is a sophisticated tool in MDMP, the Sri Lankan Army has not employed widespread use of these systems. Tactical operations in which covert movement is paramount to success depend on high quality data and information concerning enemy positions, as was the case in the Sri Lankan Civil War . A case study of base siting using GIS is explored here; in this research we attempt to introduce GIS as a powerful tool in MDMPs in the Sri Lankan military. Sri Lanka is a developing country that suffered from a terrorist war for more than 30 years. All decision making and data gathering was done manually, spending more money and man power that was realistically necessary. This research is focused on providing solid evidence for the use of GIS techniques in MDMPs, which can partially supplant slower, less reliable humanbased decision making processes. In selecting a suitable permanent or temporary military operation base in enemy territory, all parameters need to be evaluated accurately. Injecting logical and statistical data, thus more automated processes into command-level decisions, will minimize errors in MDMPs. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is utilized to structure commander's perceptions of important selection criteria, and optimal base selection procedures are described.

Nowadays, increasing population and consumption rate have led to the need for the removal of solid wastes from urban areas in a more economical, environmentally friendly, and controlled manner. The increasing growth of urban area along with the increasing population and the need to protect the natural structure of the rural area for the continuity of life have made the selection of suitable sites for the storage of solid wastes a quite important process. In urban areas, increasing population density and solid waste production rate, the diversity of land use, environmental and climatic changes, and the expectations of urban stakeholders (implementers, managers, and living stakeholders) regarding solid waste storage areas have turned the site selection of solid waste storage areas into a complex process. The successful management of this complex and multi-actor process for solid wastes along with its economic, environmental and social aspects and the protection and development of urban and rural lives require a system. The Geographic Information System (GIS) and its applications are important tools in the management and monitoring of this complex process with its abilities to store graphical and non-graphical data, to analyze them by using together, to model and visualize them. In this study, the solid waste landfill site located in the city center of Niğde province in Turkey was evaluated by the analyses performed using the GIS (land use, slope, visibility, spatial distances). The suitability of the solid waste landfill site for the changing land use in the strategic planning process of the city center of Niğde was discussed with the analyses.
