Abstract
Construction of final waste disposal sites has become increasingly difficult as the problem of their location has become an important issue. Final waste disposal sites have a negative image of fostering various kinds of pollution, increased traffic volume, noise by trucks and bulldozers, and aggravated living conditions. These concerns indicate that social factors, such as waste landfills' public image, must be considered along with physical factors when locating the final waste disposal sites. This paper presents a method for determining an optimal site from the two perspectives of physical and social factors. First, we estimate spatial distribution for physical factors using various costs for waste disposal and land prices. Secondly, using results of a survey, we investigate the relationship between cognition of final waste disposal site and age group as covariates and estimate spatial distribution for social factors from the spatial distribution for the age group.
