This paper represents the attempt to map and analyze spatial distribution of
illegal landfills in the City of Belgrade. To make this happen the main tasks
were to form the geospatial database of illegal landfills in the study area
and to analyze the patterns in their spatial distribution. The data on the
landfill locations were obtained from the Agency of Environmental Protection
of the Republic of Serbia, while the ArcGIS software was used for their
spatial analysis. The City of Belgrade, respectively the public utility
companies use five landfills, which cover up the area of 89 ha. On the other
hand, in the study area there are 223 illegal landfills. The spatial analysis
showed two patterns: (1) increasing of the number of illegal landfills with
distancing from the city urban center, and (2) increasing of their number
with distancing from the municipal centers. This paper also showed that there
is landfill clustering, or that their spatial distribution is not random.
