Combining AHP with GIS for landfill site selection: Case of the Ben Ahmed circle

The demographic growth in the circle of Ben Ahmed leads to a large production of household waste. This waste is disposed of in uncontrolled open-air landfills. The informal discharge of this waste leads to negative impacts on the environment and on human health. To remedy these effects, this work ai...
