چکیده
The Middle Euphrates region comprises four provinces: Najaf, Babylon, Karbala, and Qadisiya. These Iraq's central region provinces severely suffer from poor solid waste collection and disposal systems. There is no landfill site that meets the environmental standards, and this has led to several open dumping practices all around the region which negatively impacted public and environmental health. The lack of national strategies and properly designed landfill sites necessitated urgent action to implement a sustainable waste disposal method. This study tackles this problem by finding some safe locations for sanitary landfill employing a combination of MCDM and GIS techniques. Selecting a landfill site involves many criteria and restrictions, making it a challenging process. So, a range of factors, including sixteen criteria, were determined and weighted using AHP and SRS methods. A suitability index map for potential landfill sites was created by integrating these criteria. The final suitability maps (AHP and SRS) indicated that the majority of the region falls within moderate-to-high suitability classes, and eight candidate landfill sites (two per province) were selected within the ‘high’ and ‘most suitable’ zones for possible land filling. The study contributes to future waste management planning in Iraq’s Middle Euphrates Region by integrating GIS-based suitability analysis with projected waste generation and landfill capacity requirements up to 2040.
