Abstract

A critical challenge confronting cities today is the disposal or storage of generated waste. Municipal solid waste landfill site appraisal is essential for sustainable and ecologically responsible solid waste management. In this study, a suitability analysis for municipal solid waste disposal sites in the Burdur Lake Basin was conducted using multi-criteria decision-making tools, specifically the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Geographic Information System. AHP established a hierarchy structure that facilitated the determination of the significance levels of the parameter and sub-parameter through the assignment of weights. A landfill suitability map was created using these parameter weights in a GIS analysis. The study region is categorized into four landfill suitability classes: inappropriate (35.72 %), low suitability (23.75 %), suitable (18.14 %) and high suitability (22.38 %). Thus, it has been determined that the conditions of the existing landfill site in Burdur province are met, and two alternative landfill sites have been identified for future use.

The study offers valuable insights for decision-makers engaged in sustainable solid waste management in Türkiye and comparable regions.

– How to find an environmental landfill to achieve sustainable development

基于AHP和GIS的布尔杜尔湖流域固体废物可持续管理填埋场适宜性分析

当今城市面临的一个重大挑战是处置或储存产生的废物。城市固体废物填埋场选址评价是可持续和生态负责任的固体废物管理的必要条件。本研究采用层次分析法和地理信息系统等多准则决策工具对布尔杜尔湖流域城市生活垃圾处置场地进行适宜性分析。AHP建立了一个层次结构，便于通过权重的分配来确定参数和子参数的显著性水平。在GIS分析中使用这些参数权重创建了填埋场适宜性图。将研究区划分为不适宜（35.72%）、低适宜（23.75%）、适宜（18.14%）和高适宜（22.38%）4类。因此，已确定满足布尔杜尔省现有垃圾填埋场的条件，并已确定两个备选垃圾填埋场供将来使用。该研究为缅甸和类似地区从事可持续固体废物管理的决策者提供了宝贵的见解。-如何找到一个环境垃圾填埋场实现可持续发展-在选择垃圾填埋场时考虑了哪些区域特征和参数。
