Abstract
Currently, the solid waste management work of Raipur is being done in a completely traditional way, which is very expensive and time consuming. The site selection method using Geospatial techniques can function as a decision support tool for enhanced efficient and effective management of municipal solid waste. This Study’s aim was to develop landfill siting by crossing major barriers such as political, economic and environmental pressures for the execution of a suitable site criteria by employing combination of geospatial technique and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) in Raipur urban area. The preliminary step of the methodology was geospatial operation and Study that disqualified all areas unsuitable for landfill siting. The insularity of suitable criteria for landfill site was generated based on published information on solid waste management, existing laws and regulatory necessities, as well as the existing local conditions. The different suitability criteria considered are soil, land use land cover, digital elevation model (DEM), surface waters, transport network, lithology and geological structures. Criteria were mapped using the geospatial technique; each criterion was identified and weighted by score for overlay to create suitability maps using GIS. The final results showed that there are more locations for landfills for Raipur urban area. In the present Study there are sporadic areas identified as suitable sites for landfill location. In the site suitability analysis 74.79% area found not suitable for landfill siting, 20.93% least suitable and 3.25% moderate suitable. Out of the remaining area, 1.03% area is found most suitable.
Highlights
A huge amount of solid waste from the urban area being generated conjoined with effective solid waste management is a major challenge facing most of the growing cities due to population growth and economic development have a lack of planning, inadequate technology, and good governance
Due to their ability to deal with large volumes of spatial information from various resources geospatial technology is ideal for site selection studies (Alkaradaghi et al, 2019; Malczewski, 2006; Mussa and Suryabhagavan, 2019)
All the reviewed papers considered a landfill site selection/evaluation problem as a case Study, the majority of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) overlay articles belong to the deterministic category (Al-Hanbali et al, 2011; Moeinaddini et al, 2010; Saeed et al, 2003; Salmon Mahini and Gholamalifard, 2006)
Summary
A huge amount of solid waste from the urban area being generated conjoined with effective solid waste management is a major challenge facing most of the growing cities due to population growth and economic development have a lack of planning, inadequate technology, and good governance. Solid waste disposal through open waste dumping is very common in unplanned cities of developing countries due to poor solid waste management. O., 2017; Akinbile et al, 2016; Ali et al, 2014; Ferronato et al, 2017; Fides K. R. Adewumi and Fidelis O. 2015; Rahmat et al, 2017). The challenge is more serious in growing cities where population growth and economic activities have led to an increase in solid waste.
