ABSTRACT

In this study, an integration of multi-criteria evaluation, geographic information system, and remote sensing techniques were used for site selection of medical waste landfills in Kermanshah, Iran. Also, an environmental risk assessment for the selected site has been conducted in order to minimize the possible hazardous. The GIS and remote sensing were used for acquiring and preparing layers and maps and the multi-criteria evaluation was used for setting aim, criteria selection, criteria weighting, and final decision making. The results showed that only 1.2% of the study area is scored high-suitable, while 90% of the area is considered unsuitable that makes this region critical for preservation. After further assessment and field visits, a suitable site was selected for landfilling. Environmental risk assessment showed that the selected site poses a low-level of risks to the environment and surrounding areas and this is because various environmental and health aspects have been considered in the site selection process.

摘要

在这项研究中，综合多标准评估、地理信息系统和遥感技术，用于伊朗克尔曼沙赫医疗废物填埋场的选址。此外，已对选定地点进行环境风险评估，以尽量减少可能的危害。GIS和遥感用于获取和准备图层和地图，多标准评估用于目标设定、标准选择、标准加权和最终决策。结果表明，只有 1.2% 的研究区域被评为高度适宜，而 90% 的区域被认为不适宜，这使得该区域对保存至关重要。经过进一步评估和实地考察，选择了一个合适的填埋场。
