Abstract:
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is a major socio-economic issue in all emerging countries. Cities have their solid waste management regulations, approach, and procedures. They believe that wastelands outside of cities are the greatest places to dispose of solid waste. Such inappropriate location will lead to morphologic changes in the urban region and its surrounding, creating health hazards. The acquisition of data about an object(s) without establishing contact with it is known as remote sensing. The geographic information system (GIS) is a spatial system that creates, maintains, analyses, and maps various kinds of data. GIS software and remote sensing data are extremely valuable for assessing and managing solid wastage. Sentinel-2 satellite images were used to obtain land cover data. Digital elevation model (DEM) from ALOS-PALSAR free data used to describe surface information. Some thematic layers, such as soil, surface slope, drainage density, airport distance, road distance, and land-use, were used as principal input data for Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to choose the best solid waste locations in Najran city. According to the appropriateness degree of the landfill, locations acquired, 31% and 10.9 percent of the total area were classed as very low and low, respectively, while 25.3 % and 11.9 % were classified as high and very high suitable areas.
