Abstract :

Abstract One of the serious, potential and growing problems in many urban areas, especially in developing countries, is the management of waste and the selection of suitable sites for its disposal and burial. This issue is very important for our country, and especially the Andika, due to issues and constraints, and most importantly the challenge of quantity and quality of water. Therefore, in this study, suitable locations for dumping landfills in the Andika city using the integration of GIS spatial knowledge and multi criteria decision analysis on hydrological factors, human factors and accessibility, geomorphology, geology and ecology were extracted and introduced. For this purpose, 15 layers of input map were prepared and analyzed in GIS environment. Effective factors were weighed, limitations were applied and places with high, moderate and low proportions in the Andika township were extracted and suggested.
