Abstract

Economics
Geographical Information System (GIS), Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), Waste Management, Landfill Siting
Less economically developed countries are facing challenges resulting from poor solid waste management due to a number of reasons such as the rise in urban population, the construction era, industrial growth, and unsustainable consumption practices. Site selection of waste disposal and waste management for developing countries always pose major challenges. The application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) in the location of landfills is still in its infancy. In this study we tested the suitability of pre-existing landfill locations by comparing them with the newly located landfills in the study area. In order to locate the sites of appropriate landfills, applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model of MCDA during criteria evaluation to give each criterion weight matching its importance. Our findings show that most suitable landfill sites constitute a low percentage (0.11%) than unsuitable area (91.95%). The Jaccard test produced an overlap of 22.72% and high deviation between the newly located landfills and the pre-existing Pomona landfill. Comparisons of the extent of suitable area for landfill site selection show that the proportions differ significantly (χ2 = 7305.8, df=2, p<0.0001). Our study is a cost effective verifiable tool in landfill site selection and assessing suitability of landfills to make economic and environmentally conscious decisions so as to ensure minimum damage to the environment.
