Abstract
Rapid urbanization (both controlled and uncontrolled) coupled with other factors (such as land acquisition cost being high) is putting up a new sort of challenge for planners and decision-makers. The challenge of how to define and control the land-use for sustainable urban development. Constant clash of interest of various groups of people makes the decision even more difficult. To address this challenge stake-holders can use GIS and AHP based technology.
The present study deals with the problem of site selection for various desirable obnoxious facilities (Landfill and STP). These facilities are necessary to reduce the burden that urban areas put on the environment. The selection of suitable sites for landfill and STP land use has been carried out using GIS and AHP based methods. GIS analysis by taking into account the various spatial and non-spatial criterions provides the various alternatives that can be used for Landfill and STP land-use. These alternatives are then ranked by doing the pair-wise comparison of the various criterions. These ranks then make the job of the planners and decision-makers pretty comfortable in the final selection of a site for Landfill and STP land-use. The Landfill site (LS4) and STP site (SS5) were the top-ranked sites amongst other identified sites in this case study.
