Abstract

Landfill site selection is a complex process because it requires knowledge about a large number of criteria, parameters, and regulations. The aim of this study was to describe a methodology for landfill site selection and relevant criteria from a geological engineering point of view. To determine landfill suitability in the municipality of Pančevo, Serbia, we used the geographic information system (GIS) and analytical hierarchical method (AHP). Seven criteria and eighteen subcriteria are discussed, compared, and evaluated. The final map was obtained by overlaying and is reclassified into four classes: unsuitable, poorly suitable, moderately suitable, and most suitable. The results obtained show that 62.31 % of locations are unsuitable, 13.49 % are poorly suitable, 12.08 % are moderately suitable, and 12.12 % are most suitable. The analysis revealed geological engineering criteria as the most important, followed by hydrogeological and hydrological criteria. Geomorphological criteria were the least important.
