Monitoring of the environmental condition of the solid waste landfill using GIS

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the means that allow for environmental monitoring of the condition of solid household waste landfills. The results of the research will have a great impact on the sustainable development of cities, which is inextricably linked with ecology. The authors suggested monitoring with the help of geoinformation technologies based on the software product from the company ESRI - ArcGIS. The study of the specialized geo-information system was carried out on the example of the Dergachy landfill of solid household waste in the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Authors proposed the structure of the geodatabase of the monitoring system and performed an analysis of the sanitary protection zones of the Dergachyv solid waste landfill using a vectorized map with attributive data. A typical algorithm for designing a similar monitoring system has also been developed. Authors show ways of using geoinformation systems in the field of environmental monitoring. This made it possible to significantly influence the improvement of the situation with environmental safety. Authors have developed an algorithm for designing a specialized GIS for monitoring. It was concluded that the use of geoinformation systems is promising at the current stage of development of digital cities.
