Abstract
Landfill is a common solution for the final disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Albania. Landfill siting is an extremely difficult task to accomplish because the site selection process depends on different factors and regulations. To ensure that an appropriate site is chosen, a systematic process should be developed and followed. Unsuccessful landfill siting is typically the result of strong public opposition. In this study, 11 candidate sites for an appropriate landfill area in Kukës Region are determined by using the integration multi-criteria evaluation (MCE). From the application of the exclusion criteria provided in the study methodology, it was able to find the best three alternatives. The statistical processing for the determination of the best place was accomplished through Multi-criteria Analysis and Environmental Management. The application of this method has led to the identification of the most suitable site for the construction of sanitary landfill in the Kukës Region.
