“…For example, Anderson & and Greenberg (1982) applied the matrix statistical approach to evaluate land use suitability to locate new hazardous landfill facilities based on water supply, physical, and cultural criteria. Meanwhile, Al-Bakri et al (1988) identified and evaluated a potential landfill site in Shuiba Industrial Area located at Kuwait by using a weighting/scaling scoring system. Nonetheless, the initial combination of GIS and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was proposed by Siddiqui et al (1996) for landfill selection in Cleveland County found at Oklahoma.…”

Landfill site selection has appeared to be an important waste management issue for future landfill planning. The selection of suitable landfill sites involves several alternative sites, along with evaluation criteria. Previously, most studies solved the landfill site selection problem by using the geographic information systems (GIS) and the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. GIS is used to identify suitable sites for a new landfill, while MCDM is used to rank the candidate sites based on the score calculated for each site. With that this paper presents a new approach that ranks the related candidate sites. These candidate sites were ranked based on several vital resource requirements, such as total travel distance to transport collected waste to the landfill, number of vehicles/ drivers required for the collection and total working hours of drivers affect the operating cost of the selected landfill. To be precise, all requirements as described above have been provided when a particular site is selected as the new landfill. These resources are identified by using the heuristic technique, namely nearest greedy. This approach was further tested on a benchmark problem set, namely waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows. The results serve to aid the waste management team to select the most suitable location for landfill siting, besides listing the influential resource requirements for landfill site selection planning in selecting a new landfill site.

“…[14] showed that at least the site must has capacity of 10 years for dumping. AI-Bakri et al [15] recommended 20 years life spam for the landfill to anticipate changes and expansion and five years for unfavourable sites life. Table 7 shows each site categories according to its volume.…”

Abstract:In Najaf Governorate, Iraq, there are five landfill sites. This study aims to rank these sites based on their criteria which are site capacity, land elevation and land price. AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method was used to weight the criteria and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. Fuzzy TOPSIS (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) method was used to rank these sites from best to worst. Based on AHP method, the site capacity criterion was the most important than land price and land elevation.
