Abstract

The object of the current study was to determine and select suitable sites for solid waste landfill in Shiraz city regarding the observation of environmental matters by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques done using software Expert Choice. In this study, at first for sanitary landfill site selection, 19 effective criteria including: Geological Situation , Soil, Slope, land use, distance from urban centers, rural and industrial towns, hydrographic network, Groundwater, the dominant wind direction, rain, road access, etc., were identified and prepared. In the next step on the basis of the sanitary landfill site selection regulations, each of the layers was graded such that Low graded layers showed non coordination or less coordination and high grade layers showed more coordination.
