“…A number of studies (San Cristóbal, 2011;Sánchez-Lozano et al, 2013Uyan, 2013;van Haaren & Fthenakis, 2011) have dealt with renewable energy site selection periods using GIS and MCDM. In addition, the use of GIS and MCDM in the landfill site selection process has been the subject of many recent investigations (Alanbari, Al-Ansari, & Jasim, 2014;Donevska, Gorsevski, Jovanovski, & Peševski, 2012;Huang et al, 2011;Nazari, Salarirad, & Aghajani Bazzazi, 2012;Şener, Sener, & Karagüzel, 2011). Finally, many other studies have covered additional site selection processes employing GIS and MCDM (Behzadi & Alesheikh, 2013;Rikalovic, Cosic, & Lazarevic, 2014).…”

In accordance with current demands, the natural gas transmission pipeline (NGTP) is one of the most appropriate methods used in the distribution of existing reserves. Construction of long-distance pipelines requires large expenditures. Decreasing the time and cost of such construction and minimising environmental damage depend upon identifying the optimum routes from the onset of the project. Route determination is one of the most important steps in NGTP projects. The route determination process requires obtaining the existing graphic and non-graphic data from different institutions and organisations, as well as gathering, storing, querying and analysing non-existing data in an appropriate and efficient manner. Accessing the correct results rapidly by analysing such large data-sets can be achieved with spatial multicriteria decision-making technologies based on the geographic information system as an effective decision support tool. In this study, three methods were implemented for two NGTP projects of 103.60 and 60.89 km in length. At the end of this study, it was concluded that Spatial technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution was the most effective of the three pipeline routing methods and that it could reduce project costs by approximately 21%.

In this study, geographic information system (GIS)‐based network analysis and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods were applied to the Erzincan–Trabzon segment of the Turkish high‐speed railway (HSR) project. A new hybrid route, which considers both economic and environmental criteria, was created and compared with three different routes from various preconstruction studies. The route‐generating analysis included the eight parameters (criteria) of slope, geology, soil quality, rivers, protected areas, roads, land cover, and lakes. The optimum route for connecting the port of Trabzon to Turkey's interior via HSR was generated. The weights for determining the route were tested for sensitivity. The study demonstrated the efficiency of GIS and AHP integration in generating optimum routes for HSR projects according to given databases. All these GIS and AHP analyses were applied automatically with our novel GIS extension for determining optimum HSR routes. The final route has preserved cultural and historical structures, environmental integrity. The new hybrid route also decreased construction costs by approximately 12%, and the least‐cost‐path analysis confirmed the environmental efficiency of the route.

“…Whatever methodology or technology is used for solid waste management, some amount of waste always remains as a residue which has be disposed off at a safe location. A properly located landfill is of utmost important as its improper site selection may result in environmental degradation and a nuisance to the stakeholders due to leachate percolation, foul order, and pathogens etc, associated with the waste (Sadek et al, 2006;Yıldırım, 2012;Alanbari et al, 2014).The identification of a suitable site for a sanitary landfill is a process requiring a detailed evaluation of certain factors. The factors are more or less the same all over the world but the relative importance of these factors differs according to the geographical location and local socio-economic conditions (Dipanjan et al, 1997;CPCB, 1999).In India these factors are given by Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO) (Swachh Bharat Mission,2016).…”

Landfills are the most common method for the disposal of municipal solid waste the world over, as well as in India due to their low technical and economic requirements. The selection of an appropriate site for the establishment of a landfill is a complex process because it must combine social, environmental and technical parameters. The scientific selection of landfill site is based on several diverse criteria (Land Use and Land Cover, ground water table depth, soil permeability, surface water, roads distance, slop etc) and regulations. The study presents the selection of a site for the establishment of a landfill based on several criteria using geographic information system (GIS) based site suitability modeling and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Site suitability modeling was implemented using Boolean and Index overlay models. Each criterion and sub criteria was evaluated with the aid of AHP to assign a relative weightage in the index overlay model. Rules and criteria's set by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO) were implemented through Boolean model. The combination of the results of the two models generated a map with several suitable sites. Further selection was done on basis of the size requirement of the site, to handle Municipal solid waste (MSW) for next ten years. Two sites having the maximum suitability and also fulfilling the size requirement were shortlisted. Final selection from the two sites was done by a field survey of the sites. Finally the site B was selected on the basis of field survey which revealed it being better on account of certain factors discussed and social acceptability.
