Landfill site selection via geographical information system and fuzzy logic in Uşak province (Turkey)

The importance of landfill site selection has grown rapidly in recent years. New and various analytical techniques have been developed due to previous researches. Along with breakthroughs information systems technology, computer-assisted work designs, come the forefront. aim this study is identify best locations serve as a across provincial territory Uşak, Turkey, use modern technologies through specific method, Fuzzy Logic. As data analysis current utilizes fuzzy logic which become common criteria set out were digitalized design base maps. Geographic system was used for formation membership values overlay procedures. socio-economic physical criteria, prevalent literature, include roads, rivers, airports, settlements, faults landslides, slope, geology, soil, land capability, use. results show that faults, airports not very effective determining optimal sites research area, since they do occupy many areas. However, geological structure, road fundamental determinant wide areas it covers major achievement study, suitable unsuitable identified mapped. These analyses indicate most are mostly located southwestern part Uşak province.
