Selection of alternative landfill location by using a geographical information system. European side of Istanbul. Case study. Environment Protection Engineering, 42(1), 123-133. doi:10.5277/epe1601100324-88280324-8828https://hdl.handle.net/11147/5786One of the most difficult tasks encountered when implementing waste management practices in Turkey involves the selection of the most suitable area for a landfill. The Geographic Information System (GIS) which possesses the ability to imitate and process economic and environmental constraints, presents itself as a useful and effective decision support tool. This study will utilize the GIS to determine feasible alternative landfill areas on the European side of Istanbul, which has a high density population, showing that accurate selection results can be achieved at lower cost.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDecision support systemsLand fillGeographic information systemsWaste managementIstanbulProcess economicsArticle2-s2.0-8497510560510.5277/epe16011010.5277/epe160110
