AB  - This article presents a process of evaluation and selection of the most 
      favourable location for a sanitary landfill facility from three alternative 
      locations, by applying a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. An 
      incorrect choice of location for a landfill facility can have a significant 
      negative economic and environmental impact, such as the pollution of air, ground 
      and surface waters. The aim of this article is to present several improvements in 
      the practical process of landfill site selection using the VIKOR MCDM compromise 
      ranking method integrated with a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process approach for 
      determining the evaluation criteria weighing coefficients. The VIKOR method 
      focuses on ranking and selecting from a set of alternatives in the presence of 
      conflicting and non-commensurable (different units) criteria, and on proposing a 
      compromise solution that is closest to the ideal solution. The work shows that 
      valuable site ranking lists can be obtained using the VIKOR method, which is a 
      suitable choice when there is a large number of relevant input parameters.
