Abstract :
Backing and Objective: Mismanagement in solid waste disposal is a critical problem increasing the rate of global solid waste production globally. The solid waste management in Bandar-e Mahshahr, Iran is so poor that caused public health and environmental problems requiring to be addressed. The purpose of this study is to use a geographic information system, analysis techniques, and multi-criteria AHP decision-making evaluation techniques in determining suitable locations for landfill sites in Bandar-e Mahshahr. The selected landfill location must satisfy environmental, engineering, and social criteria.
Material and Methodology: In this paper, geotechnical properties, land utilization type, the location of transportation facilities, natural phenomena, and lifelines, were used in the distance-weighted AHP model.
Finding: Based on AHP model, the weight of the distances from cities, the coastline, and railroads are 0.276, 0.091, and 0.090, respectively, which are the highest weights, with an error coefficient of 0.07. Implementing fuzzy method has resolved the scale difference in applied restrictions and the variables. The positive measures have been normalized through the decreasing linear fuzzy and the negative measures have been normalized using the incremental linear fuzzy.
Discussion and Conclusion: In the end, five fuzzy functions (GAMA, SUM, OR, AND, PRODUCT) were used to determine suitable areas and 0.9 GAMA function was selected as the final function for choosing the suitable site. Four sites were then chosen, three for Bandar-e Mahshahr, and one for the Shahid Chamran residence area.
