Development of a multicriteria model for making decisions on the location of solid waste landfills

Abstract
<p class="a">We have developed a structure of the multi-criteria model of decision making related to determine optimal sites for the location of solid waste landfills (using the south of Odessa oblast as an example). A special feature of the model is the integration of GIS and the multi-criteria methods of decision-making. Based on the created raster criteria maps in the GIS geodatabase and expert estimation of the significance of criteria, we ranked alternatives according to the degree of suitability. A multilevel hierarchical decision-making structure includes three groups of criteria: environmental, physical, and socio-economic; it takes into consideration the state building requirements to the construction of SW polygons. Such an approach provides for the acceptability of results of the analysis by most stakeholders.</p><p class="a">The simulation is performed for the three scenarios that imply the aggregation of layers of criteria into a combined map of suitability using Boolean logic, fuzzy logic, and a combination of methods of weighted overlay and a fuzzy analysis of hierarchies. To account for the uncertainty of original information and subjectivity in expert assessments, we employed an apparatus of fuzzy logic. Piecewise-linear membership functions of the fuzzy set are proposed for the standardization of criteria. We calculated weights of criteria using a modified method of the analysis of hierarchies, in which we used linguistic variables represented by triangular fuzzy numbers to perform the paired comparison of criteria significance.</p><p class="a">The results of the simulation show that the use of operations of a fuzzy intersection or a fuzzy combination in order to aggregate a combined suitability map can lead to errors related to the underestimation or overestimation of alternatives. The most acceptable method is a weighted linear combination, or the operation of fuzzy geometric averaging, in cases when it is difficult or impossible to determine the weight of criteria.</p>
