AB  - Landfilling with simplicity and economic advantages is the most common element 
      for waste management in both developed and developing countries. Landfill site 
      selection in a proper way is an important municipal planning process which 
      prevent environmental issues including water pollution imposed for insanitary 
      landfills. The present research was developed to exhibit a simplified method of 
      multi criteria decision making (MCDM) and Fuzzy memberships in GIS environment to 
      ascertain best landfill sites for Shiraz county, located south of Iran. 15 most 
      common sub-criteria, documented in literature and implicated by Iranian 
      environmental protection organization (IEPO) including surface water, ground 
      water, land use, distance to well, soil type, slope, protected area, fault in 
      environmental group, residential area, road, airport, village, infrastructure, 
      historical area, wind direction in socio-economical group were selected and the 
      weight of each criterion was determined based on expert's knowledge with use of 
      analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results of the present research are as 
      follows: *Distance to residential area and groundwaters with weight of 0.36 and 
      0.28 were recognized as the most important criteria for landfill site 
      selection.*The six suitable areas for landfill in Shiraz county is 1.003% of 
      total area equal to 8710 ha.*AHP and Fuzzy memberships has a great potential and 
      ability for landfill site selection.
