Abstract

With the continuous trend of urbanization, increase in industrial capacities, and expansion of agricultural areas, there is also a rise in the amount of wastewater. One of the effective and economical solutions for wastewater treatment has proven to be Constructed Wetlands (CWs). Defining the locations where CWs can be built is not an easy task and there are several criteria that need to be considered. The Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis—Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are combined to select CW locations. AHP is one of the most commonly used methods in many environmental decision making problems, involving various conflicting criteria. In this case, conflicts arise between the evaluation of criteria that influence the selection of CW locations. The evaluation of selected criteria and sub-criteria resulted in a suitability map indicating that the first class represents 44%, the second class 37%, and the third class 16% of the total area. The fourth and fifth classes represent 3% of the total area. The criteria with the highest significance are land use, floodplains and distance of the location from populated places. This study has important implications for sustainable wastewater management in Serbia and provides guidelines for selecting locations for CWs.

确定塞尔维亚伏伊伏丁那省人工湿地的最佳位置

随着城市化的持续发展，工业能力的提高，农业面积的扩大，废水的数量也在增加。人工湿地(CWs)已被证明是污水处理的有效和经济的解决方案之一。确定可以建造生化武器的地点并不是一件容易的事，需要考虑几个标准。将地理信息系统(GIS)和多准则决策分析-层次分析法(AHP)相结合来选择集化站的位置。层次分析法是许多环境决策问题中最常用的方法之一，涉及各种相互冲突的标准。在这种情况下，冲突产生的评价标准，影响选择化武基地的位置。通过对所选标准和子标准的评价，得出了一类占总面积44%、二类占总面积37%、三类占总面积16%的适宜性图。第四类和第五类占总面积的3%。最重要的标准是土地利用、洪泛平原和距离人口稠密地区的距离。这项研究对塞尔维亚的可持续废水管理具有重要意义，并为污水处理厂的选址提供指导。

期刊介绍： Journal of Hydrology publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all the subfields of the hydrological sciences, including water based management and policy issues that impact on economics and society. These comprise, but are not limited to the physical, chemical, biogeochemical, stochastic and systems aspects of surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrometeorology, hydrogeology and hydrogeophysics. Relevant topics incorporating the insights and methodologies of disciplines such as climatology, water resource systems, ecohydrology, geomorphology, soil science, instrumentation and remote sensing, data and information sciences, civil and environmental engineering are within scope. Social science perspectives on hydrological problems such as resource and ecological economics, sociology, psychology and behavioural science, management and policy analysis are also invited. Multi-and interdisciplinary analyses of hydrological problems are within scope. The science published in the Journal of Hydrology is relevant to catchment scales rather than exclusively to a local scale or site. Studies focused on urban hydrological issues are included.
