Solid Waste Landfill Site Selection in the Sense of Environment Sensitive Sustainable Urbanization: Izmir, Turkey Case

Abstract

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.

MCA and geospatial analysis-based suitable dumping site selection for urban environmental protection: A case study of Shambu, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

“…Studies ( Mallick, 2021 ; Mussa and Suryabhagavan, 2019 ; Pasalari et al., 2019 ) are available regarding the ranges of slope that influence the selection of suitable sites for disposing wastes. The classification of the slope implemented in this study ( Figure 8 ) was based on the classification used in ( Das, 2019 ; Sarkar and Mondal, 2020 ; TÜdeş & Kumlu, 2017 ). For this specific study, the slope was classified under four major categories as highly suitable (<5%), moderately suitable (5–20%), less suitable (20–35%), and Not suitable (>35%) as shown in ( Figure 5 ).…”

Combining AHP with GIS for landfill site selection: Case of the Ben Ahmed circle

“…This comparison requires using a scale that varies from 1 to 9. The least significant is assigned to 1, while the most significant criterion is set to 9 (Table 2) [6], [8]. The second important step of the AHP is the calculating of weights (Table 3), then a consistency check of the peer comparison matrix is required [9].…”

Landfill Site Selection Using GIS and (AHP): Case Study of Ranya City

“…Distance from residential areas is critical when it comes to landfill site selection. Solid waste landfills should not be close to residential areas including urban centers and villages [1]. In this context, residential areas are marked as restricted in this study.…”

“…Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal is one of the most critical environmental issues in the world [1].…”
