In our world, with the increase of factors such as the rapid and irresponsible consumption of natural resources, man-made environmental disasters, global warming, and pollution of water resources, solid wastes have to be stored or disposed of more effectively. The presentation of the data required to solve spatial problems such as storage, management, and location selection can be carried out extensively and effectively using geographic information systems (GIS). On the other hand, the unsatisfactory results obtained with GIS recently have made it mandatory to use spatial multiple-criteria decision-making (S-MCDM) methods that include the decision-makers in the process. In this study, RSWSA site selection was carried out in eight cities under the responsibility of the Eastern Black Sea Project Regional Development Administration (DOKAP). A combination of GIS and S-MCDM was used in this site selection process. A total of eight data layers were used in the site selection application. Afterwards, storage areas determined as suitable via GIS analysis underwent additional evaluation, taking into account geological, seismic, and environmental factors as well as transportation costs. In addition to these multi-component evaluations, odor analyses were carried out on the proposed storage areas using the prevailing wind direction.

“…Literature and documents on the area under discussion, including the Food Recycling Act, were consulted. The preliminary criteria selected after carrying out analysis and revision on the Act were then combined with the objectives collected from literature [27,28,[40][41][42][43][51][52][53]. In addition, the criteria used are adapted from Babalola's studies [2].…”

A Benefit–Cost Analysis of Food and Biodegradable Waste Treatment Alternatives: The Case of Oita City, Japan

As the generation of food scrap, kitchen, and biodegradable wastes increases, the proper handling of these wastes is becoming an increasingly significant concern for most cities in Japan. A substantial fraction of food and biodegradable waste (FBW) ends up in the incinerator. Therefore, an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) benefit–cost analysis technique was employed in this study to compare different FBW treatment technologies and select the most appropriate FBW disposal technology for Oita City. The four FBW treatment options considered were those recommended by the Japanese Food Waste Recycling Law: anaerobic digestion, compost, landfill, and incineration, which is currently in use. The fundamental AHP was separated into two hierarchy structures for benefit analysis and cost analysis. The criteria used in these two analyses were value added, safety, efficiency, and social benefits for benefit analysis, and cost of energy, cost of operation and maintenance, environmental constraints, and disamenity for cost analysis. The results showed that anaerobic digestion had the highest overall benefit while composting had the least cost overall. The benefit–cost ratio result showed that anaerobic digestion is the most suitable treatment alternative, followed by composting and incineration, with landfill being the least favored. The study recommends that composting could be combined with anaerobic digestion as an optimal FBW management option in Oita City.

“…Waste-treatment-facility site-selection processes are complex and complicated, as different criteria and judgments are required. The conceptual model and the flowchart of the methodology are shown in Figure 2, and Table 1 shows the description of the criteria (constraints and factors) used in this study, which was obtained from an analysis of the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law (WMPCL) document and related literature [3,6,13,15,19,20,26,29,[41][42][43]. From these, three constraints (main criteria) and seven factors (sub-criteria) that were significant in the siting of the waste treatment plant (AD) were identified.…”

“…The pairwise comparisons of all related factors were utilized to ascertain the relative importance of the factor weights. It should be mentioned that the examined factor weights used in the analysis were based on the collective appraisal of information on the MSW management regulation policy (WMPCL) that mainly represents the FBW situation in Japan and relevant literature on waste disposal/treatment site selection [3,6,13,15,19,20,26,29,[41][42][43]45,47]. For instance, the proximity to water bodies is moderately more important than proximity to powerlines in deciding a suitable location for siting an AD plant.…”

Application of GIS-Based Multi-Criteria Decision Technique in Exploration of Suitable Site Options for Anaerobic Digestion of Food and Biodegradable Waste in Oita City, Japan

Recently, the popularity of anaerobic digestion (AD) has been increasing, and selecting a site for AD is a complex process for both individuals and decision-makers. This process requires the selected site to fulfill all regulation requirements, simultaneously reducing environmental, sociocultural, technical, political, economic, and public health costs. A geographic-information-system-based multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) is presented in this study to evaluate and examine the suitability of the study area in order to propose a suitable site for an AD facility in Oita City, Japan. Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) was used to standardize the map layers into fuzzy membership functions. The proximity variables were classified into seven factors and three constraint groups, specifically, environmental, sociocultural, and technical/economic criteria. The proximity and criteria maps were combined using weighted linear combination (WLC) techniques, and the resulting suitability map was evaluated on a grading scale of 0-255 B. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) ranking analysis indicated that an area of about 13.36 km 2 from the entire study area is the most suitable and that the remaining two options are still suitable for the intended purpose, but the entire decision will be entrusted to the decision-makers' judgment.
