Abstract
In order to control environmental pollution caused by solid wastes needs to be stored properly. In this study, SWARA which is a Multi Criteria Decision Making method was used to determine solid waste site selection criteria in Kars Province and criteria weights were determined by SWARA. Also MOORA method was used to select the most suitable solid waste site. As a result of this study, it has been determined that the importance of solid waste landfill site selection criteria are "Natural Life Protection Areas", "Land Costs", "Population Density", "Soil and Geology Structure", "Distance to Urban Areas". On the other hand, it has been determined that the least caretakers are "Slope", "River Network", "Road Network", "Underground Water Conservation Areas", "Historical and Important Cultural Areas". In order of the optimal solid waste location selection, A4 alternative in Kars province has been the optimal solid waste location.

Summary
The proportion and diversity of solid wastes resulting from people's household are increasing. With the increase of solid wastes, the air, soil and water pollution that they form after the disposal methods cause significant environmental and health problems all over the world. In big cities, as a natural consequence of conurbation, the problem of solid waste is growing rapidly. It was aimed to determine the criteria for solid waste site selection in Kars. For this purpose, in the first part of the study, studies on solid waste site selection are examined, In the second part, information about the SWARA method has been given and in the part, the application part of the study has started. The method of the study was applied to the problem and the study was completed with the results section with suggestions for future studies
