Identifying Optimum Sites for Safe Dumping of Rural Waste by Combining the AHP and DRASTIC Methods in the GIS Environment (Case Study: Shavur District, Shoosh County)

The practice of choosing the properlocation for sanitary disposal of wasteis a difficult, complicated, long andexpensive process. This cannot be donewithout using a robust and reliablesystem that has the ability to use andanalyze multiple strata of data. GIS is very suitablebecause of the capacity to deal with a great quantityof data. The system has the ability to simulate andcontrol the parameters of hydrology, hydrogeology,physiography and the environment. The purpose ofthis research is to find a suitable waste landfill site inShavur district of Shoosh city using the analysis ofthe parameters of the drastic model through the GISand the hierarchical analysis process. In other words,this research attempts to analyze the components thatare important in locating landfill in Shavur, Shoosh,through the GIS and AHP techniques, and identifiesthe most suitable site for solid waste disposal, whichhas the least harmful environmental and humanimpacts, and to provide the findings in the form ofthe map.
