AB  - Landfill site's selection represents a complicated process due to the large 
      number of variables to be adopted. In this study, an arid area (Babylon 
      Governorate as a case study) was selected. It is located in the middle region of 
      Iraq. In this area, the landfills do not satisfy the required international 
      criteria. Fifteen of the most significant criteria were selected for this 
      purpose. For suitable weight for each criterion, the multi-criteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) methods were applied. These methods are AHP and RSW. In 
      the GIS software 10.5, the raster maps of the chosen criterion were arranged and 
      analyzed. The method of change detection was implemented to determine the 
      matching pixels and non-matching pixels. The final results showed that there are 
      two candidate locations for landfills for each district in the governorate (ten 
      sites). The areas of the selected sites were sufficient to contain the cumulative 
      quantity of solid waste from 2020 until 2030.
