Landfill site selection literature review: For Bodrum District

Abstract

With the rapid increase of the world's population, waste production is also increasing rapidly and these wastes must be disposed of in landfill sites under control in national-international accordance with the decrees. Nowadays, some of the waste is still disposed of in wild irregular landfill sites. As a result of these wild irregular landfill sites, it is seen that there is a need for solid waste landfill sites due to environmental pollution and health risks. One of the areas where solid waste is disposed of in wild irregular landfill sites is the Bodrum district of Muğla province. For these solid waste landfill sites to be built in suitable areas, some criteria need to be considered. In this study, the location selection criteria for solid waste landfill sites for the Bodrum district of Muğla province were determined by examining the frequency of use in the literature. Nevertheless, national-international decrees that were evaluated in criterion restrictions have also been examined.
