This place is located at a distance of approximately 12 km from Sardasht city, has a suitable side road and slope, which is a suitable distance from the villages and the city, and was selected as a suitable option due to its location outside the aquifer. Conclusion: This study showed that with the help of AHP model and GIS software, a suitable place for landfilling of municipal waste can be selected so that the factors affecting the selection of a suitable place can be applied.http://jehe.abzums.ac.ir/article-1-832-en.htmllandfillsite selectionmodelahpgissardasht |
