AB  - Due to rapid urbanization and the resulting rapid population increases, an 
      important problem for cities today is the elimination of solid waste or finding 
      suitable places for waste storage. Municipal solid waste disposal (MSWD) site 
      selection is one of the most important steps in urban waste management. Many 
      criteria political, economic, social, and technological should be considered in 
      this process. Geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) are tools that are superior to traditional methods in the 
      planning phase of site selection studies. In this study, suitable MSWD sites were 
      determined in Mersin (a Turkish province) based on GIS and the analytic hierarchy 
      process, an MCDM method. Unsuitable areas in the study were removed at the 
      beginning of the analysis. Eleven evaluation criteria were selected: elevation, 
      slope, permeability, distance from lineaments, groundwater level, distance from 
      rivers and water surfaces, distance from roads, distance from settlements, 
      distance from protected areas, and land cover. Considering the evaluation and 
      exclusion criteria, 19.12% of the study area was deemed suitable, and 80.88% was 
      determined unsuitable for an MSWD site. An MSWD suitability map was created as a 
      result of the study. The outcomes indicate that 80,377 ha and 83,022 ha of the 
      study area were classified as high and very high suitability, respectively. Based 
      on these results, we evaluate whether the locations of existing solid waste 
      landfills are appropriate and propose alternative solid waste landfills for each 
      district.
