Site Selection of Sarein's Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Using the GIS Technique and SAW Method

Abstract—With regard to increasing the population growth and increasing the volume and variety of urban wastes, sanitary landfill procedure is one of the most common excretion ways in different countries. There is several ways for locating the waste landfill sites. In this research it has been tried to select suitable site for waste landfill of tourist city of Sarein which is placed in north-western of Ardabil province in Iran country by using the GIS software package and integrating the Saw and AHP methods. For this purpose, in the first step Sarein's urban waste landfill site was selected based on Iran's Department of Environment's criteria with applying the GIS software and AHP method.
After overlaying of mentioned-criteria maps, four sites was selected that had maximum score by evaluating of properties of identified sites, one of sites was identified as the first priority by using the SAW method.

Index Terms—Sanitary landfill, multi-criteria analysis method, GIS software, Arbabil, Iran.
