Abstract—With regard to increasing the population growth
and increasing the volume and variety of urban wastes, sanitary
landfill procedure is one of the most common excretion ways in
different countries. There is several ways for locating the waste
landfill sites. In this research it has been tried to select suitable
site for waste landfill of tourist city of Sarein which is placed in
north-western of Ardabil province in Iran country by using the
GIS software package and integrating the Saw and AHP
methods. For this purpose, in the first step Sarein's urban waste
landfill site was selected based on Iran's Department of
Environment's criteria with applying the GIS software and
AHP method.
After overlaying of mentioned-criteria maps, four sites was selected that had maximum score by evaluating of properties of identified sites, one of sites was identified as the first priority by using the SAW method.
Index Terms—Sanitary landfill, multi-criteria analysis method, GIS software, Arbabil, Iran.
