AHP and GIS-Based Site Selection for a Sanitary Landfill: Case of Settat Province, Morocco

In Morocco, solid household waste is often disposed of in open air in unsuitable sites causing adverse effects on humans and the environment. In the province of Settat, there are eight uncontrolled landfills. The present study aims to determine the most suitable sites from an environmental and econ...
