Abstract
Temporary Disaster Waste Management Sites (TDWMS) play a very important role in post disaster waste management. The selection of candidate TDWMS can be regarded as a land suitability analysis problem. This article reviews literature related to waste management treatment facilities to identify the common processes and methods. Previous studies indicate that identifying and determining weighting criteria as well as mapping and overlapping standardised layers are the four main steps in this process. In this study, ArcGIS was used to conduct the land suitability analysis and the Modelbuilder function was applied to build the analysis model. In addition, Boolean logic was used to standardise the criteria map layers. A total of 45 candidate sites were selected within the case study area. According to the analysis, the distance from ground water, drinking water resources, and public water supplies are the most sensitive criteria.
