Abstract Disposal of collected waste is the least preferable way of sustainable solid waste management. But most of the cities in developing nations prefer to use open dumping in an inappropriate and non-scientific way, causing negative impacts on the environment as well as human health. This study offers a novel approach for scientific landfill site selection and sustainable waste management in Aligarh city, India. This could be possible through relevant data collection, selection of suitable models for criterion weighting, and model validation. In order to prepare a suitable landfill site selection map, a GIS-based ensemble FAHP-SVM and FAHP-RF model was implemented. Considering the previous studies and the characteristics and the study area, a total of eighteen thematic layers (decision criteria) were selected. The result reveals that land value, nearness to residential roads, nearness to hospitals and clinics, distance from waste bins, and NDBI having a fuzzy weight of > 0.10, indicates significant factors; whereas land elevation, land slope, surface temperature, soil moisture index, NDVI and urban classification having a fuzzy weight of 0, indicates these criteria have no importance for the present study. The result further reveals that FAHP-RF with an AUC value of 0.9182 is the more accurate model in comparison to FAHP-SVM. According to the final result of weight-based overlay, a total of seven potential landfill sites were identified, out of which three sites were determined as most suitable by considering current land cover, environmental and economic concerns, and public opinions. This study proposed a zonal division model based on the location of suitable landfill sites for sustainable waste management in the study area. The findings of this study may provide a guideline to the decision-makers and planners for optimal landfill site selection in other cities of developing countries.

Landfilling remains the most common systematic technique of solid waste disposal in most of the developed and developing countries. Finding a suitable site for landfill is a very challenging task. Landfill site selection process aims to provide suitable areas that will protect the environment and public health from pollution and hazards. Therefore, various factors such as environmental, physical, socio-economic, and geological criteria must be considered before siting any landfill. This makes the site selection process vigorous and tedious because it involves the processing of large amount of spatial data, rules and regulations from different agencies and also policy from decision makers. This allows the incorporation of conflicting objectives and decision maker preferences into spatial decision models. This paper particularly analyzes the multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) method of landfill site selection for solid waste management by means of literature reviews and surveys. The study will help the decision makers and waste management authorities to choose the most effective method when considering landfill site selection.

One of the main issues with solid waste management is finding appropriate sites for landfill. Non-scientific and inappropriate disposal practices have a negative impact on the environment which affects the quality of life. The study provides an integrated framework with a focus on structuring the decision-making process for the landfill suitability site map. This could be determined by the use of proper data collection, criterion weighting and normalization. In order to understand the procedures that affect the suitability of landfill sites, the integrated GIS-based fuzzy-AHP-MCDA method was implemented to appropriate landfill site for Abha-Khamis-Mushyet located in Aseer region Following the extensive literature review and expert opinion, 10 themes were selected for this study such as drainage density, land use/land cover (LULC), slope, elevation, lineament density, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), rainfall, distance from the airport, distance from road, and geology. These themes have been developed through RS (remote sensing) and conventional data. Subsequently, potential landfill sites were identified and divided into five classes: very low suitable (fuzzy value 0.20–0.45), low suitable (0.46–0.55), moderately suitable (0.56–0.65), high suitable (0.66–0.75), and very high suitable (0.76–0.92). According to the statistical analysis, 23.91% and 3.67% of the total area were within a very good and good landfill area, while 38.14% and 22.84% accounted for the moderate and poor suitable zone, respectively. As a quality-based site, the existing two landfill sites were located over a very low suitable and low suitable potential area while one landfill site was located over the high suitable∙ The spatial variance of high and very high potential landfill site zones found in the north-eastern, east-central and south-eastern parts of the watershed. The sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the efficacy of each parameter and reveals that the effective weights for each theme differ slightly from the theoretical weight assigned to the landfill site suitability zone. This technique and its findings can provide an appropriate guideline to assist hydrogeologists, engineers, regional planners, and decision-makers in selecting an optimal landfill site in the future.

Abstract Durgapur, an industrial city, is the second and third-largest city in West Bengal in terms of population and area respectively. The city is suffering from an enormous generation of waste and improper waste management. The wastes are dumped in an unscientific and unplanned way, negatively impacting the environment and public health. Hence, the National Green Tribunal has advised the city planners to find new landfill sites following the Central Pollution Control Board's guidance. This paper focuses on the new landfill site selection of Durgapur city using the Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods with Geographic Information System (GIS). The methodologies used for the site selection processes are GIS (for mapping the 14 criteria and overlay analysis) and MCDM methods: Analytical Hierarchy Process, Straight Rank Sum Method, and Ratio Scale Weighting Method (to derive the weights). Finally, the five landfill sites are selected after calculating the change detection.
