“…Step 1: Four evaluation criteria for medical waste landfill site selection are determined and given as: 𝐶 : land use [28], 𝐶 : topography [23], 𝐶 : distance to residential districts [29], and 𝐶 : water quality [30]. The weights of these criteria are determined as 𝑊 = 0.23, 𝑊 = 0.27, 𝑊 = 0.30, 𝑊 = 0.20 , respectively.…”

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of protective medical products has tremendously increased. The wastes generated by used products pose a threat to public health. Selection of alternative landfill sites to be determined for medical waste is a challenging task as there are several criteria to consider. Fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches can be employed to overcome this problem. In this study, the landfill sites evaluation for Covid-19 pandemic medical waste is investigated. Decision-makers give their judgments with intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and a novel circular intuitionistic fuzzy MCDM approach is developed for evaluating sites. As a contribution to the literature, this study extends the usage of circular intuitionistic fuzzy sets (C-IFS) in MCDM approaches by proposing defuzzification functions. The application of the proposed method is intended to guide future C-IFS MCDM methodologies.

“…Traditionally, industrial site selection had been conducted based exclusively on economic and technical criteria; however, nowadays, a higher degree of consideration is desired [3,4]. Considering a comprehensive set of criteria in site selection, not just only maximizes the economic benefits but also satisfies social and environmental requirements [5].…”

This process of industrial zones site selection requires to fulfill requirements and standards, simultaneously reducing environmental and public health costs and maximizing technical and economic benefits. A geographic information system was used in this study to evaluate land suitability to propose suitable sites for industrial zones in Duhok district, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The defined parameters were classified into two groups, specifically, environmental and socioeconomic criteria. The information layers were prepared and were standardized into Boolean logic. The parameters maps were combined using the Boolean logic technique, and the suitability map was achieved on two classes including unsuitable and suitable. The results showed that only about 10% (104 Km2) of the study area was evaluated as suitable areas for industrial zones, which are mainly found in the north, northwest, and central parts of the study area. The results also illustrated that most of the industries within the study area have been located in inappropriate sites which have had a severe impact on the air quality of Duhok city. This paper would present a solution for industrial site selection in Duhok and it is helpful for regional planning of the country.

“…A significant factor that complicates the decision-making process is the global, political, and environmental crisis [3]. The literature on MSW landfill site selection methodologies [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] is conceptually rich.…”

The landfill has the potential impacts of environmental pollution if not properly selected, which can be irreparable because the environment and health components are human and other creatures. The ultimate goal Locating the most appropriate place to achieve the fewest adverse effects to the environment and natural resources and economically the most cost and engineering perspective to have the best features. This study aims to locate a place for a landfill in the city of Razan. The ARC GIS 9.3 software and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) are used. The data layers such as elevation, slope, aspect, soil, climate, and vegetation were determined and collected. Then by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), weight parameters were given. Then parameters were standard in the GIS environment. The layers obtained the value by multiplying the analytic hierarchy process and data layers together with (WLC) method, and this is the final layer that can be extracted. The final plan was presented to construct a landfill.
