GIS Based Approach for Site Selection in Waste Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Strategic models identify areas of development opportunity and constraints for long term management strategies. A GIS based environmental decision support system for solid waste management under Indian socio-economic and regulatory conditions has been developed. For selection for primary landfill site selection using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) has been used to give weights to different criteria. The criteria were aggregated and suitability index (S) is generated using weighted linear combination (WLC) technique in GIS environment. The suitability index (0-10) values are classified into four categories (Excluded, Less Preferable, Suitable and Best Suitable) to select the landfill site.
