Estimation and Web-GIS geovisualisation of a suitable solid waste disposal site: Case study of New City, Harare

With the ever-increasing human population, there is a need to develop new urban settlements for habitation. For these settlements, it imperative optimally site different land-use zones, including solid waste disposal sites. The aim of this article determine suitable sites locating landfill in developed city Zimbabwe around Mt. Hampden, named New City. City will have various residential, commercial, and industrial areas. This entails proper selection reduce negative social environmental effects such as contamination water bodies proliferation diseases malaria. GIS remote sensing were major methods used mapping Multi-criteria evaluation weighted overlay analysis process. Factors rivers, roads, protected areas, soils. A suitability map was generated, showing five potential that are siting Moderately areas cover approximately 8%. further 73% total land area study highly unsuitable landfill. real-time Web-GIS monitoring interface monitor use on selected area, because under development. Using makes data easily accessible environment planners, ecologists, spatial other decision makers.
