Abstract

Select a landfill site in an urban area is one of the most crucial topics in an urban planning process. The landfill site has a direct impact on the economic situation environmental and the health in the city. It is also directly related to the growth of the population which leads to increase the amount of waste brought daily. Select the landfill site is a complex process depends on many criteria. these criteria are varying from city to another, for example, the city center location, land use, airport, rail, various networks roads, steep, rivers, industrial zones, oil pipelines, natural resources and areas of archaeological and tourist. The impact of these criteria varies depending on the laws used, available land, and the geographical nature of the area.
The main objective of the study is an integrated application for multi-criteria decision analysis MCDA with geographic information systems (GIS) to determine the most appropriate potential landfill in Al-Nasiriyah city in Iraq. The selected site was compared with the current landfill site in the city to explain if the old conforms criteria or not. The results of the study showed that the GIS with MCDA presents a good solution to select the best site for a landfill and is a good alternative instead of using the classical method. GIS and MCDA present a scientific analysis of all the expected effects of the new landfill by giving different weights for each criterion used in the study. These weights are according to the sensitivity and the impact of each criterion
