Abstract :

One of the main parts of management in the urban solid wastes is finding an appropriate place in order to dispose the wastes. Difference criteria should be paid attention in site selection, so using of special methods are necessary to assimilate the criteria. This study was done to locate the appropriate landfills in the city of Bandarabbas through using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for offering the optimal alternatives for site selection. In present study, in order to select sites for dispose of urban waste of Bandarabbas, the following data layers and maps  have been utilized; the maps of land use, road network, water source, and the layers related to the distance from city center. In next step, each layer(criteria) weights are calculated by using the AHP. Through field visits, four locations for comparison and evaluation through hierarchical analysis process were selected and ultimately by doing closer studies on the selected locations and exerting appropriate weights on each of the locations, the final location will be selected. Finally, an appropriate location for landfill, North West Bastak was selected.
