A Parameteric Evaluation for Sanitary Landfill Site: A Case of Indian Metropolitan City

Abstract

In the planning process, landfill site selection in a metropolitan community is a critical issue. With the growth of urbanization, the region's economy, biodiversity, and environmental health are having a massive impact. Outsized quantities of waste are produced and every day the problem grows. As a result, selecting an optimal sanitary dump location is a challenge for city planners and solid waste managers. The site of the disposal is determined by a number of factors. Because they are frequently related to the surrounding open ground, geo-technical factors are quite significant. Furthermore, useable land that is secure and acceptable is uncommon. Surat Metropolitan City is India's densely inhabited and fastest-growing city. The purpose of the study is to conduct field experiments in order to gather data and shift facts to the best location in the GIS platform in order to create a model. The analytical hierarchical technique was used to calculate weights for each parameter based on planner expectations (AHP).
