Abstract
AbstractBiomedical waste is among the most significant sources, which threaten the global environmental health hazard. The adverse effects on our environment due to biomedical waste can be reduced through the selection of appropriate landfill site. Multi-criteria of site selection depending on consideration of the various factors concerning road/transport network, land use, surface water, geomorphology, geology, habitation/residential areas, soil texture, and groundwater table and the use of different thematic layers assessment method seems unavoidable. The present investigation involves the utility of geospatial data and GIS techniques, which is an important tool for the creation of database for various thematic maps. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is an especially useful and structured approach to compare and assigning of weight, relative importance, and decision-making analysis. In the study area IRS-IC/ID satellite’s 23.5 m, Landsat 30 m spatial resolution, and ground truth data have been used to couple with the AHP method. The study presents the results based on geospatial data, GIS and AHP method is an endeavor to identify and mark the most suitable site for disposed-off the biomedical waste in Lucknow city, Uttar Pradesh, India.KeywordsRemote sensing dataBiomedical wasteMulti-criterion layersGISAHP
