Land uses
The land-use plans are useful in delineating areas with definite
zoning. The selected lands for landfill must be based on zoning
restrictions. Land uses were divided to residential, agricultural,
industrial and unused lands. The highest score was allocated to
the last group. Disposal of MSW to residential lands is not
allowed, therefore it was scored 0. Recreational and tourism
areas are not suitable for landfills, thus a score of 2 was given to
them. Agricultural and industrial lands received a score of 4 and
8 respectively. The results are shown in Figure 3.
