Abstract. Identification of suitable landfill site for municipal solid waste disposal is a complex task. The proposal of alternative landfill site consists of multicriterial analysis of various parameters. In this study Geographical Information System (GIS) was utilized effectively for alternative landfill site identification. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique was effectively used by assigning weights and rank for decision making. Criteria such as residential area, road network, Geology, Geomorphology and soil are considered for analysis. The developed system encompasses social, environmental, geological and accessibility conditions. By using this modelling approach, GIS once again proved an effective tool for evaluating multiple criteria in decision making. The research aims to introduce a model for selecting an appropriate landfill site in municipalities. The developed methodology is useful for identifying alternative landfill in the study area with an effective manner.

“…To compare the plausibility of our results, we also followed an additional method of aggregation, which is collec-tively described as the fuzzy defined weighted combination (Aydi et al, 2013;Janke, 2010). We followed the same procedural steps, weights and aggregation formulae except that the numerical values of each of the hazard and vulnerability layers were standardized between 0 and 1 (i.e., 0 %-100 %) instead of the five ordinal classes.…”

Megacities are predominantly concentrated along coastlines, making them exposed to a diverse mix of natural hazards. The assessment of climatic hazard risk to cities rarely has captured the multiple interactions that occur in complex urban systems. We present an improved method for urban multi-hazard risk assessment. We then analyze the risk of New York City as a case study to apply enhanced methods for multi-hazard risk assessment given the history of exposure to multiple types of natural hazards which overlap spatially and, in some cases, temporally in this coastal megacity. Our aim is to identify hotspots of multi-hazard risk to support the prioritization of adaptation strategies that can address multiple sources of risk to urban residents. We used socioeconomic indicators to assess vulnerabilities and risks to three climate-related hazards (i.e., heat waves, inland flooding and coastal flooding) at high spatial resolution. The analysis incorporates local experts' opinions to identify sources of multi-hazard risk and to weight indicators used in the multi-hazard risk assessment. Results demonstrate the application of multi-hazard risk assessment to a coastal megacity and show that spatial hotspots of multi-hazard risk affect similar local residential communities along the coastlines. Analyses suggest that New York City should prioritize adaptation in coastal zones and consider possible synergies and/or tradeoffs to maximize impacts of adaptation and resilience interventions in the spatially overlapping areas at risk of impacts from multiple hazards.

“…With respect to waste management, the AHP methodology has been used to support decisions regarding selection of suitable municipal waste sites e.g. [9][10][11]. With respect to mining waste management, [12] applied this methodology for the selection of sites suitable for stone (solid waste) disposal facilities on a case study in Greece, and [13] applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) in analysis of strategies for waste management in iron mines in India.…”

Featured Application: The paper presents a two stage, multicriteria-based methodology for evaluation of mining waste potential use that can be applied to any type of mining waste site. Abstract:The article describes the research on the analysis of the economic use of mining and processing waste produced and stored on the premises of active mining plants exploiting rock raw materials in the context of the reduce-recycle-reuse (3R) concept. To assess the potential economic applications of the investigated wastes, a two-stage methodology based on a multicriteria analysis using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) algorithm was proposed. Preliminary research produced an inventory of active mining plants storing mining and processing waste on their premises (62 locations). Then, preliminary qualitative analysis was carried out to assess mining waste locations at the environmental and social level consistent with the idea of circular economy-CE (20 locations). Next, in the first stage of the multi-criteria analysis, six directions of economic use of the investigated waste were analyzed and their significance was determined. These directions are use in road and railroad construction, construction, agriculture, reclamation and development of post-mining areas, food industry, and storage at landfills of mining and processing waste on the premises of a mining plant. In the result of the assessment of potential economic applications of mining waste, recommendations for directions of economic use were obtained for the six highest classified mining waste sites. The recommendations were determined in the second stage of multi-criteria analysis by deriving the local preferences (waste sites) for the alternatives (waste uses).concept is the optimization of the use of resources in accordance with the so-called 3R principle (reduce-recycle-reuse) [2,3].Territorial scope of the research carried out in the publication concerned the area of Lower Silesia, which is located in the southwest part of Poland (Figure 1). This region is the most interesting in Poland in terms of rich accumulation of rocks with diverse genesis and age. Additionally, over 90% of minerals extracted in Poland for the production of construction and road elements originate from deposits located in the Lower Silesia region [4]. The subject of the research are active mining plants, which extract and process rock raw materials, such as bentonites, dolomites, ceramic and refractory clays, crushed and dimension stones, vein quartz, phylite and mica schists, magnesites, sands, and gravels. The period covered by the study concerned the years 2010-2016. The research method used for the purpose of collecting and analysing the source data was the method of examining documents, consisting of collecting, selecting, describing and interpreting the facts contained in it. The research was limited to establishing the actual state of affairs, which the sources consisted of data archived in the period 2010-2016 from databases of the Marshal's Office, District Mining Office, Poli...
