Impact Analysis of Sanitary Landfill Based Odour in Istanbul Using GIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The environmental problems caused by accelerated urbanization in recent years have reached vital limits. As the population increases in the cities, the problem of waste disposal and storage arises. The incorrect selection of sanitary landfill sites affects human and other living creatures because of the malodour sprawling from these sites. Such problems in particularly appears in metropoles as Istanbul. The main objective of this study is to analyse potential impact of the malodour emitted by the second degree of sanitary landfills, Odayeri and Kömürcüoda located in Istanbul. In this context, the population and land use/land cover (LU/LC) characteristics lands were estimated with in a multiple ring buffer located around the landfill areas using Open Source GIS Technology. As a conclusion the neighbourhoods affected by two sanitary landfills in different buffer zones examined by comparing the population and different LU/LC classes in those areas. This study resulted that in case of a potential malodour emitted from landfill areas, the most affected neighbourhood is Göktürk Merkez for Odayeri, while Avcıkoru is for Kömürcüoda. Total population and the characteristics of the affected lands were determined and explained in detail within the context of the study.
