“…In order to create a binary mask layer with the values 0 and 1, all gathered restricted layers were merged using a raster calculator tool in the spatial analysis [37]. As a result, a value of 0 for the unsuitable region and a value of 1 for the suitable area was assigned to the restricted and nonrestricted areas, as illustrated in Fig.…”

Environmental degradation is one of the most visible problems in Hargeisa. Currently, solid waste is disposed of at two dumping sites within the city limits causing nuisance and unsanitary conditions. Moreover, the existing dumpsites are on the verge of closure, therefore necessitating a dire need to be addressed. This research paper is aimed to integrate multicriteria decision analysis and GIS for evaluating the site suitability for the landfill in Hargeisa, Somaliland. For this purpose, eleven significant parameters were selected: proximity from built-up areas, surface water, groundwater well points, sensitive sites (Airports), land use/land cover, geology, soil type, elevation, slopes, roads, and distance to existing dumpsites. These were then integrated using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Subsequently, restriction buffer analysis was performed on the seven parameters to obtain better and more accurate results, and restricted zones were omitted. Furthermore, the pair-wise comparison used to obtain priorities between the selected criteria showed that the land uses land cover is the most significant criterion in the model with a relative weight of 0.1829, followed by the habitations, 0.1506. The overall result reveals that about 68.96% (21060.9 ha) of the study area is unsuitable, while 24.36% (7441.53 ha) and 6.68% accounted for the less and highly appropriate zone, respectively. Following the results of this study, Hargeisa City's municipal council must reconsider the waste management and landfill sites to solve the problems observed in the area before it is overdue. Furthermore, this systematic research approach will assist regional and global researchers, policymakers, and municipal governments.

“…Non-sanitary landfills are created due to a lack of planning and organization in WM and, as such, can significantly impact human health, biodiversity, land degradation, and water pollution (Șener et al 2010;Gorsevski et al 2012;Asif et al 2020). Among the methods used in WM, a sanitary landfill is the most common way of disposing of municipal waste for economic, technical, and organizational reasons (Mishra et al 2020;Yang et al 2022;Ahire et al 2022). Although landfill Responsible Editor: Ta Yeong Wu is at the bottom of the WM scale (waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting and landfilling), it is recommended that only waste that has no energy or recycling potential is disposed of in the waste disposal (WD) process (Ajibade et al 2019;Carević et al 2021).…”

Adequate disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of Serbia's most complex environmental challenges. The problem is more serious in urban areas, since large amounts of waste are disposed of in locations that do not comply with environmental, technical, and socio-economic standards. Such is the case for the city of Kraljevo, where about 116,000 inhabitants do not have a sanitary landfill facility. This research includes a multi-criteria analysis, conducted with the help of geographic information systems, to find a suitable landfill site location. After data collection, the first step was to process 15 environmental and socio-economic factors utilizing the fuzzy analytic-hierarchy process method. The second step comprised the visual analysis and selection of the ten most suitable locations from the synthetic convenience map. The third step involved the final ranking of sites by means of the fuzzy multi-objective analysis by ratio, plus the full multiplicative form method, based on four additional beneficial and non-beneficial criteria. The results show that sanitary landfill candidate site A4 is the most suitable location for constructing a sanitary landfill site due to its large area (569 ha) and relatively short distance from the urban zone (8 km). This study is the first to integrate geographic information systems and the fuzzy analytic-hierarchy process, multi-objective analysis by ratio, and the full multiplicative form algorithm for sanitary landfill selection. The results of the research can be used as a reference for safe waste disposal in the city of Kraljevo.

“…Therefore, the use of GIS provides simple and fast solution to site location question, as it is equipped with in-built modules and tools for buffering, Euclidean distance, and modelling (EPA, 2006). By buffering around a landfill using a standard threshold distance, it easily shows whether it is properly sited or else (Ahire et al, 2022). The role of GIS is much in solid waste management as many aspects of its planning and operations are highly dependent on spatial data (Zulu and Jerie, 2017;Ahire et al, 2022).…”

The role of GIS is much in solid waste management as many aspects of its planning and operations are highly dependent on spatial data (Zulu and Jerie, 2017;Ahire et al, 2022). In general, GIS plays a key role in maintaining data to facilitate collection operations, as it reduces time and cost of mapping the refuse landfill sites for efficient waste management (Chalkias and Lasaridi, 2011).…”

“…GIS also provides a digital data bank for present and future monitoring program of the landfill sites site (Sumathi, 2008); and ArcGIS is a platform for spatial data analysis (Bombom et al, 2022) GIS is an appropriate technique for landfill site analysis and mapping since it has the capability to manage large amount of spatial data that comes from various sources (Al-Ansari, 2013). The use of GIS and remote sensing in landfill and waste disposal issues as well as its management has been documented in many studies including Hassan (2004), Sumathi, (2008) Akpu et al (2011), Chalkias and Lasaridi (2011), Zulu and Jerie (2017), and Ahire et al (2022). Hassan (2004) studied problems associated with waste disposal and collection in Zaria Local Government Area, Kaduna State.…”

This study assessed the location of landfills in Zaria LGA of Kaduna State by the use of GIS and RS. Increase in population has brought rapid urbanization, which in turn accelerates the rate of waste generation. This caused indiscriminate disposal of waste in landfills within residential centers, which are not properly located; these are source of disease, pollution, and unaesthetic. Hence, all the landfills in the study area were identified (27 landfills) and their locations or spatial data recorded using a GPS. GIS was employed for mapping and spatial analysis using buffering of 500 meters’ proximity to residential houses in order to designate the proper and improperly located landfills. Results of the GIS analyses indicated 2 landfills were properly located, while the remaining 25 were not. Based on the results of this study it is recommended that all the improper landfills should be abandoned and banned by the government; new landfills should be designated at outskirts of the town at distances of few kilometers from the residential houses; pickup points should replace the abandoned landfills, and new ones also be designated for efficient waste management.
