It must be noted that GIS analysis is not a substitute for field
analysis; however, it does identify areas that are more suitable
and directs efforts to these areas rather than areas that are unsuitable
or restricted by regulations or constraints (Sener et al.,
2006). Six sites (CS1–CS6) were chosen for site visiting through
consideration of parameters such as required area for landfill,
distance to MSW generation points, wind direction, land ownership,
political and management issues, and public acceptance
(Figure 4).
