Methodology for the Regional Landfill Site Selection

چکیده
One of the most important causes of environmental pollution is certainly an inadequate waste management. The three factors that have primarily influenced this problem area are: ever increasing amount of municipal solid waste (which causes increasingly pronounced space occupation), increasing amount and types of hazardous waste, as well as lack of awareness on the importance of acting promptly in this field. Particular problems in waste management occur in developing countries, where the awareness of the importance of environmental protection has not yet achieved a satisfactory level and where, out of economic or political reasons, professional guidelines associated with waste management are not observed. Problems emerge either due to a lack of legislation, or obsolete legislation, lack of trained personnel, inadequate waste management infrastructure, financial constraints in the establishment of a modern waste management system, population lacking the awareness about solid waste management, impossibility of selecting appropriate space for landfill development, lack of standards, etc.
