GIS and AHP based modeling for landfill site selection (case study: west side of Mosul city)

Feasibility Study of GIS and AHP Techniques in Site Selection for Pedestranization towards Urban Regeneration

Landfill site selection for municipal solid waste with combining SWARA technique and COPRAS method using GIS (Case study: Kermanshah, Iran)

The selection of municipal solid waste landfills is significant because it controls environmental pollution and its problems. Since site selection is a time-consuming and multifaceted process involving various socio-economic and environmental parameters, it requires expert opinion, extensive information resources, and multi-criteria methods. Therefore, this study was carried out for landfill si...

Municipal Waste Landfill Site Selection based on Environmental, Geological and Geotechnical Multi-criteria: A Case Study

Waste management is a complex and detailed process that involves evaluation of certain important factors, such as a geological, geotechnical, hydrological, hydrogeological, climate, urban management, environmental, along with social, cultural, and psychological parameters. Unfortunately, in Iran, there is minimal evaluation of initial parameters and in some cases even don’t exist. The purpose o...

Wastewater treatment plant site selection using AHP and GIS: a case study in Falavarjan, Esfahan

This paper presents the criteria and applied methods in the screening of potential sites for the wastewater treatment plant of the Falavarjan district, northwest of Esfahan province. For this the nine parameters that were selected as main criteria, 7 parameters were considered to define the buffer zones in the natural and artificial terrains. At the first stage of the study, unsuitable zones we...

Site selection using GIS, Simulated Annealing, AHP and EVAMIX approaches under Fuzzy Set Theory: A case study of landfill siting in Blantyre City, Malawi

This paper explores the applicability and capability of solving site location problems using an integrated approach that includes the Markov-chain based Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm, Geographic Information System (GIS), fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evaluation of Mixed Data (EVAMIX). The novelty of the proposed methodology is its capability to combine the flexibility of fuz...
