Abstract
With the fast increasing construction and demolition (C&D) waste in China, it is an important issue of how to make advisable decisions on landfill site selection to reduce the problems such as the scarcity of land, high operating costs and serious environmental impacts, particularly in Shenzhen. In available studies, few covered the three critical factors together i.e. economy, environment and society. Based on geographic information system (GIS) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study aims at identifying the appropriate C&D waste landfill sites in Shenzhen by encompassing environmental, social and economical criteria. First of all, the environmental, social and economical criteria are identified and criteria weights are computed by applying AHP method. Next, geographic information system (GIS) is used to manipulate and present spatial data. The candidate sites are determined by aggregation according to the criteria weights. Data are sorted into three classes within the study area i.e. most suitable, suitable and not suitable areas, which accounted for 0.83, 19.09 and 80.53% of the total land area in Shenzhen. Finally, some suggestions are proposed to further improve landfill site selection practice.
