To overcome this problem, landfilling is a common and effective solution used by municipalities frequently. This study aims to assess and identify suitable potential areas for municipal solid waste disposal. For this purpose, a criteria determination and evaluation commission consisting of experts from various institutions and disciplines was established. Fourteen criteria, including environmental, economic and sociocultural sensitivities, were selected via the experience of an expert team and a wide literature search. The criteria used in this study were standardized by using fuzzy membership functions and feature values turned into continuous values. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method, in which expert opinions are effective, was used to determine the criterion weights. A site suitability map was obtained by us...
