background due to burgeoning population, solid waste site selection is one of the most crucial issues in waste management system. regarding the complexity of waste management systems, the convenient solid waste site selection involves considering multiple alternative solutions and assessing different criteria. objectives the current study, aimed to select the fuzzy logic method as one of the mo...

A solid waste management crisis exists in many parts of the US as a result of the inability to site new landfills to replace the consumed capacity of existing landfills. Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills can, and usually do, have a significant adverse impact on the individuals who own property in, reside in, or otherwise use, areas near the landfill. This leads those who stand to be adverse...

Landfill sites receive 92% of total annual solid waste produced by municipalities in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. In this study, candidate sites for an appropriate landfill location for the Abu Dhabi municipal area are determined by integrating geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) analysis. To identify appropriate landfill sites, eight input map layers including...

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 ...

Designing environmentally safe and economically feasible landfills can be a challenging engineering task due to complex interactions that need to be taken into account between landfill size, waste and site characteristics. Performance-based landfill design enables the selection of the most appropriate design components and design details of a landfill to obtain the best overall performance with...

Site selection of new landfills for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is a great concern of urban governments around the world as old landfill sites are being filled-up and demand for new sites is increasing. Finding a suitable MSW disposal site of adequate size meeting all the regulations is a costly endeavor. With the advent of geographic information systems (GIS) and its decision support ...
