Potential landfill site selection for solid waste disposal using GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) in Yirgalem Town, Ethiopia

Application of optical images and analytical hierarchy process model for solid waste dumping site analysis in Kombolcha town, Northeastern, Ethiopia

“…To reduce this burring issue, the current solid waste dumping site is greater than 500 m far from the Borkena River. Several scholars (for example [ 8 , 16 , 20 , 28 ] state that the minimum distance between solid waste dumping sites and rivers is greater than 500 m. The minimum distance between dumping sites and rivers varies for instance 200 m [ 26 , 48 ] and 100 m [ 9 ]. Likewise, the identified solid waste dumping sites of this study are greater than 500 m from groundwater well points (GWWP).…”

“…The goal of this paper is to identify suitable solid waste dumping sites in Kmbolcha town as the best solution to address this solid waste dumping problem. In contrast to previous studies [ 6 , 8 , 26 , 28 , 29 ] primarily focused on physical and socioeconomic parameters only for identifying solid waste dumping sites. This study incorporates geological and fault components in addition to physical and socio-economic parameters to enhance the site selection process.…”

“…Geospatial technique plays a pivotal role in the governing factors selection method by processing, examination, and comprehension of criteria related to socioeconomic, physical, and land use, components [ 26 ]. Furthermore, according to Ref.…”
