Abstract
Open dumping sites for solid wastes in Asian developing countries, including Pakistan, have recently received particular attention in terms of environmental pollution problems. In the Lahore District, Mehmood Booti is the only authorized open dumping site developed by city district government which is now unable to fulfill district’s requirement. Therefore the data was collected to propose a new landfill site in Lahore district, Pakistan. These data sets involved the processing of spatial information that was utilized in GIS environment using Boolean Operation as a tool for land suitability analysis. In order to achieve desired results, five input raster layers; including water bodies, roads, important places, existing dumping site and tube well were prepared. After omission of unsuitable areas, the suitability analysis of the residue areas was accomplished.
