Landfill site selection in an urban area is a critical issue in the urban planning process because of enormous
impact on the economy, ecology, and the environmental health of the region with the growth of the
urbanization, larger amount of wastes are produced and unfortunately the problem gets bigger every day. A
selection of proper waste disposal site is a function of many parameters can be involved under the Environment,
Planning & Social Functions. GIS based mapping and subsequent image analysis is proposed to be done for
each of the correlating criteria for each parameter. The fuzzy multi criteria decision making (FMCDM) is used
to rank different land fill sites based on decisions given by a group of experts. The selected site can be further
confirmed through GIS application. This paper highlights the explained approach.

Dimension of Land Use Conversion in Ado-Ekiti Metropolisijceronline
Over the years land use has ever been dynamics due to many factors such as economics, environmental, socio- political, legal among others. In Ado-Ekiti metropolis, due to urbanization the quantum of developable land available continue to decrease daily, hence the high rate of land use conversion. This paper examined land use pattern in Ado- Ekiti and then identified the direction of land use conversion in the study area. Primary data were collected with questionnaire administered on 76 individual property owners who have their properties converted. It was discovered that all the identified properties were originally meant for residential use. The results showed that land use conversion from residential-commercial (68%) was identified followed by residential-institutional (16%), residential-recreational (12%), while residential-others (4%). This study concluded that going by the rate at which residential properties are been converted to other uses in Ado-Ekiti metropolis in the recent time, may lead to serious housing shortage. The implication of this is that house rents will continue to rise to the extent that, low and even medium income earners may not be able to afford accommodation within the study area, unless urgent government intervention.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste management requires a better plan for developing cities like Aurangabad, in India. The ecofriendly
environment and reduction in cost can be achieved and analyzed with advanced scientific technology like Geographical
Information System (GIS). This study uses GIS for investigating adequate number and positions of existing collection bins in one
of the urban ward Chelipura, Aurangabad, India. The proposed numbers of collection bins were suggest according to total MSW
generation in the ward. Then the optimal positions were found with reference to existing bin locations, road network and
population density. The three different proximity distances such as 50m, 75m and 100m around existing and proposed bins were
generated and optimal distance to be found. As a result, the entire area was covered by 100m distance around the collection bin.
Thus, the proposed model suggested some modifications in existing system and which would recommend best possible collection
services.

URBAN SPRAWL AND ITS CHANGING PARADIGMS A CASE STUDY OF JAIPUR CITYJournal For Research
There is widespread concern about understanding and curbing urban sprawl, which has been cited for its negative impacts on natural resources, economic development and quality of life of the society. There is not, however, a universally accepted definition of urban sprawl. It has been described using quantitative measures, qualitative terms, attitudinal explanations, and landscapes patterns. The increasing pace of urbanization is usually associated with and driven by the population concentration in an urban area over the periods. The extent of urbanization and its growth drives the change in land use land cover patterns results to urban areas continue to expand over the periods. So, this present study deals with the quantifying the spatial patterns in Jaipur city, analysis based on primary and secondary data collected from different sources, using the spatial analysis technique like Entropy Model for the detection of change in spatial and temporal variability of urban sprawl and the degree of spatial concentration or dispersion of geospatial variable. The boundary less cities are the new paradigms of development and Jaipur is no exception. The process of urban sprawl has been resulted due to the continuous industrial and economic development in the rural – urban fringe of the study area.
Land use planning: Panacea a Sustainable Lagos MegacitySamuel Dekolo
There is a trajectory between land use planning and sustainable development. Both concepts tend to deliberately use available societal resources in a rational way in order to meet future desired needs and aspirations. However, the lack of land use planning of megacities in developing countries has brought about various environmental and economic consequences which cannot be overlooked. The sprawling nature of the Lagos megacity is very alarming and to achieve sustainability, there is need to strike a balance between the spatial needs for human activities and available land through sustainable land use planning which is constant. This paper examines the theoretical underpinnings of land use planning, which seems to be dislocated from existing planning practice and emphasize the need for a holistic approach which transcends the traditional land use planning in order to achieve sustainable development.
Rational Planning concepts and relation with the sustainable concepts is explained with appropriate detail case studies from over the world. Indian scenario is then over-viewed..
Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.
Urban planning deals with physical layout of human settlements. The primary concern is the public welfare,which includes considerations of efficiency, sanitation, protection and use of the environment,as well as effects on social and economic activities.
Urban planning is considered an interdisciplinary field that includes social science, architecture, human geography, politics, engineering and design sciences. It is closely related to the field of urban design and some urban planners provide designs for streets, parks, buildings and other urban areas.
Urban planning is also referred to as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural planning, urban development, physical planning, urban management or some combination in various areas worldwide.
An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages. Any portion of earth’s surface where physical conditions are homogeneous can be considered as a Region in geographic sense, ranging from a single feature region to compage, depending on the
criteria used for delineation. In practice, a prefix is added to highlight the attributes on which the region has been defined, for example, agriculture region, resource region, city region, planning region.
All the daily activities of human beings are carried out on land. Proper organization of these activities i.e. planning will help the human being in leading a richer and fuller life in livable surroundings or environment.

A study Report on Implementation of GIS in Solid Waste ManagementAM Publications
Increasing human population and economic development and urbanization has resulted in generation of huge quantities of municipal solid waste (MSW). It involves many activities like collection, transportation and disposal of wastes. There is tremendous amount of loss in terms of environment degradation, health hazards and economic descend, due to direct disposal of waste. It is better to segregate waste at initial stages where it is generated. Planners are thus forced to consider alternate and available means of disposal, especially by minimizing damage to the ecosystem and human population. GIS has proved to be boon to such planners by visualizing the real solid waste situations and facilitating route analysis through mapping. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking and displaying data related to positions on Earth’s surface.
Use of Burnt Municipal Solid Waste and Lime in Local Subgrade Soil Stabilizat...IJAEMSJORNAL
Increased human activity and urban agglomeration have, of late added critical dimensions to environmental planning and solid waste management. The present day conventional practices of on-site-land disposal method of municipal solid wastes (MSW) are creating environmental pollution and health hazards. MSW generated from the house holds of Warangal city in the burnt form is taken for demonstration and investigative study for its use in stabilization of local subgrade soils. A comprehensive data collection through primary house-hold survey using a structured questionnaire is conducted on residential waste, collection, transportation, disposal for its quantification and characterization. Waste samples were collected from the disposal site and is analyzed for their engineering properties in un-burnt and burnt forms. Sub grade soil samples from a rural area near Chintagattu village in Warangal District of Telangana State in India were collected and are examined for its compaction characteristics, CBR value and strength characteristics. Laboratory experimental investigations are carried for the use of Burnt Municipal Solid Waste (BMSW) in local subgrade soil stabilization in presence of lime. Optimum percentage of lime is arrived at based on un confined compressive strength(UCS) and CBR value criteria. Experimental, investigations are carried on local subgrade soil, soil-lime mix and soli-lime- BMSW mix for assessing the engineering properties and their use in construction of secondary roads. Experimental investigation results are encouraging and revealed that local soils can be stabilized by using BMSW ash (20%) in presence of lime(4%) for the significant improvement in strength and reduction in pavement overlay thickness up to 30%.
Identification of appropriate landfill sites for City of ChittagongKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.
Study of Muncipal Solid Waste Management Scenario of Kadapa CityIJERA Editor
Municipal Solid Waste management constitutes a serious problem in many third world cities. Most cities do not collect the totality of wastes generated and of the wastes collected, only a fraction received proper disposal. The insufficient collection and inappropriate disposal of solid wastes represent a source of water, land and air pollution and poses risks to human health and the environment. Over the next several decades globalization, rapid urbanization and economic growth in the developing world tend to further deteriorate this situation. Items that we no longer need or don’t have any further use are falling in the category of waste and we tend to throw them away. In early days people were not facing such big problems of disposals because of availability of space and natural materials but now a day’s congestion in cities and use of non-biodegradable materials in our day life create many problems. It is directly deals with our hygiene and psychology. So, proper management of solid waste has become unavoidable.
Analytical Study of Municipal Solid Waste Characteristics at Deonar Dumping Y...ijtsrd
Waste management is an international sensation, rising population, industrialization and urbanization are accountable to produce a tremendous amount of waste. Todays daily waste generation rate is about 760,000 tons. By 2025, this rate will be increased to about 1.8 million tons per day. These approximations are conservative the real values are probably double of this amount. 1 The estimated municipal solid waste generation by 8 Municipal Corporations and 9 Municipal Councils in Mumbai Metropolitan Region MMR cumulatively generate more than 10,000 metric tons of solid waste per day. Due to growth in population, industrialization and urbanization, the generation of solid waste has increased frighteningly. There is a high need for systematic management of municipal solid waste and for that understanding of characteristics play a vital role in it. In these research paper characteristics of Deonar dumping, yard has been studied on pre monsoon and post monsoon bases and encounter that, it contained some amount of organic and recyclable part, which if managed well, will reduce the load on dumping yard considerably.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

ABSTRACT
Landfill site selection in an urban area is a critical issue in the urban planning process because of enormous
impact on the economy, ecology, and the environmental health of the region with the growth of the
urbanization, larger amount of wastes are produced and unfortunately the problem gets bigger every day. A
selection of proper waste disposal site is a function of many parameters can be involved under the Environment,
Planning & Social Functions. GIS based mapping and subsequent image analysis is proposed to be done for
each of the correlating criteria for each parameter. The fuzzy multi criteria decision making (FMCDM) is used
to rank different land fill sites based on decisions given by a group of experts. The selected site can be further
confirmed through GIS application. This paper highlights the explained approach.

I. INTRODUCTION
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is being
produced since earth’s evolution. During the early
period, MSW was conveniently disposed of in low
lying areas with large open land space. The
population growth lead to increase in Solid Waste
generation and the problem of waste disposal and its
adverse impact on the environment is recently
diagnosed, may be due to enforcement. Municipal
Solid Waste in India is generally disposed in an
unscientific manner. Unfortunately environment
planning as well as socio-economic factors are
never quantified and synthesized in decision
making. To select the site, an approach is designed
in Indian conditions. This is based on fuzzy
analysis.
II. SOLID WASTE SCENARIO IN
INDIA
Overview Of Existing Method Of Landfill Site
Selection
In many developed countries the site
selection process could last five years or more
depending on the specific local circumstances.
Especially when the site selection is correlated with
the design criteria of the facility the process can
take up to ten years due to the detailed studies that
have to be completed before the final decision. In
the case of a large facility with remarkable
environmental impacts, a site selection process may
involve the optimization and selective action of all
the parameters when viewed from a combined
perspective. On the other hand, a successful site
selection process may reduce the capital and
operational cost of a landfill affecting the design of
some expensive parts like liners, biogas collection
and management systems, leachate collection and
management systems and monitoring details.
Urbanization & Solid Waste Generation
Scenario
The India is the world’s second highest
populated country of 1.21 billion (census 2011).
The annual rate of growth of urban population in
India is 3.35% (Census of India, 2011). The
proportion of population living in urban areas has
increased from 17.35% in 1951 to 31.2% in
2011(Census, 2011). High rate of population
growth, declining opportunities in the rural areas
and shift from stagnant and low paying agriculture
sector to more paying urban occupations. India has
achieved multifaceted socio-economic progress
during last 64 years of its independence. However,
in spite of heavy expenditure by Civic bodies,
Management of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW)
continues to remain one of the most neglected areas
of urban development in India. Piles of garbage and
wastes of all kinds littered everywhere have become
common sight in urban life. For most of urban local
bodies in India, solid waste is a major concern that
has reached alarming proportions requiring
management initiatives on a war-footing.
Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making Method
The initial publication of fuzzy set theory
was by Prof. Lofty Zadeh in 1965.It can also be
considered as a modeling language that is well
suited for situations that contains fuzzy relations
criteria and phenomena. The fuzzy analysis for land
fill site selection requires having a careful
evaluation of different pre-determined criteria.
FMCDM method is therefore selected for ranking
different landfill site based on decisions given by a

group of experts. Then stepwise ranking procedure
is proposed to determine the ranking order of all
locations. When conducting the inference triangular
fuzzy number (TFN) is commonly used by the
experts to describe vagueness and ambiguity in the
real-world system.
Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) is used to
resolve conflicts and deal with the difficulties that
decision makers encounter in considering large
amounts of complex information. The principle of
the method is to divide the decision problems into
more smaller understandable components, analyze
each component separately, and then integrate the
components in a logical way. The integration of GIS
and MCE is a powerful tool to solve the landfill site
selection problem because GIS provide efficient
organization and handling of spatial data and MCE
supplies consistent ranking of the potential landfill
areas based on a variety of criteria.
III. SOLID WASTE SCENARIO IN
STUDY AREA
Surat City Profile
Surat is located in coastal region of
western India. The City is located at 21.17°N &
72.83°E. Surat is the 4th fastest growing city of
India and it is business capital of State Gujarat.
Total city area is 385 Square Kilo Meters. The City
has main potential in forms of River Tapi; The City
has CBD (Old City) and Non CBD (New City)
areas. The city is administrated by local government
called Surat Municipal Corporation. The
development, town planning schemes are prepare
by SUDA i.e. Surat Urban Development Authority.
Annual Rainfall is about 45 to 50 inches, summer
temperature ranging from 22 to 40 degree Celsius,
winter temperature ranging from 12 to 31 degree.
The city is divided in 7 zones, having population
near about 48 lacs.
Present Solid Waste Generation & Disposal
Scenario
Quantity of M.S.W. generation is found to be
1500 M.T. as per the yearly average.
Every day, Surat generates 400 gms per capita
per day of waste amounting to roughly 1000
metric tons. This is collected by SMC, private
contractors and the rag pickers. About 70
percent of the waste generated every day is
contributed by households, shops and other
commercial establishments. Just over 30 percent
of the total waste generated is recyclable. This
comprises of paper, plastic, metal, brick stone
and glass primarily. Combustible waste accounts
for 22.75 percent of the total and organic waste
is nearly 42 percent. Doorstep bins are roadside
cradle types and are 314 in number.
The total number of waste collection bins is
1170. These are mainly 4.5 cu.m in size with a
capacity of 1.5 tonnes (4.5 cu. m)/ dustbin and
cover the entire population of the city. The
spacing between waste storage depots is about
100 m.
For door-to-door collection 3000 bins would be
installed by 3 private agencies. The cradle type
would be designed in such a way that revenue
generation through advertisement is possible.
There are also initiatives for segregation of
waste at source including awareness generation
through pamphlets. For this to create awareness
pamphlets are distributed. At present there are
4503 sweepers engaged in the collection of
waste across the seven zones of the city. Of the
total waste collected, the corporation manages
98 percent i.e., 980 tons/day while the rest is
collected by rag pickers.

M.S.W. is dumped and levelled by the heavy
machineries. Daily cover of soil is also laid on the
levelled M.S.W. Out of total collection of garbage
average 400 TPD garbage is sent to processing plant
which is established on BOOT basis. This plant is in
operation from September 2008.
The capacity of the land fill site is expected to be
exhausted in the next three years due to which four
more new Land filling sites have been proposed by
the Surat Municipal Corporation.
IV. REVISED PARAMETRIC
APPROACH
A suitable method is to be devised for the
solid waste landfill site selection which is further
enumerated to fulfill the following objectives:
To evaluate planning and environmental
parameters for the solid waste landfill site
selection
To select appropriate site using fuzzy MCDM
and GIS as a tool.
To develop fuzzy GIS Integrated Model for solid
waste landfill site location.
The following are the reasons for the pursuit of
the area of research for the fulfillment of the
objectives:
This area of research has never been observed in
the Indian context.
The parameters visible in similar researches are
vastly different from the parameters identified in
the scope of the current research.
The level of urbanization and generation of solid
waste in India is different from the territories or
countries explored as per the trends observed.
Components Of MCDM Process
Fig 4.1 Methodology of Research Process
The above illustrated flow chart briefly describes
the methodology proposed to be adopted during the
course of the research. Priority is given to the
Experts’ Opinion & Validation at each of the
critical steps to seek necessary guidance. A
combination of GIS Analysis & Fuzzy Analysis is
intended to give accurate results and proactively
help in decision making. Landfill site selection
should be combination of planning and
environmental parameters. Fuzzy composite model
structures are shown in Fig 4.2 and 4.3. More over
parametric justifications are tabulated in Table III.

V. GIS BASED TECHNIQUES
Fundamentals Of GIS
Geographic Information System is a computer
system capable of assembling, storing,
manipulating, displaying geographically referenced
information, i.e., data identified according to their
locations.
Geographic data can be categorized into three
distinct types:
a) Geodetic control network
b) Topographic basis
c) Geographic overlays
With the help of a GIS, the maps can be stored in
digital form in a database in world co-ordinates
(meters or feet). This makes scale transformations
unnecessary, and the conversion between map
projections can be done easily with the software.
The spatial analysis functions of the GIS are then
applied to perform the planning tasks. This can
speed up the process and allows for easy
modifications to the analysis approach.
Conversion of real world geographical variation
into discrete objects is done through data models. It
represents the linkage between the real world
domain of geographic data and computer
representation of these features. Data models
discussed here are for representing the spatial
information.
Data models are of two types: Raster and Vector. In
raster type of representation of the geographical
data, a set of cells located by coordinate is used;
each cell is independently addressed with the value
of an attribute. Each cell contains a single value and
every location corresponds to a cell. One set of cell
and associated value is a LAYER. Raster models
are simple with which spatial analysis is easier and
faster. Raster data models require a huge volume of
data to be stored, fitness of data is limited by cell
size and output is less appealing.
Vector data model uses line segments or points
represented by their explicit x, y coordinates to
identify locations. Connecting set of line segments
forms area objects. Vector data models require less
storage space, outputs are appreciable, Estimation
of area/perimeter is accurate and editing is faster
and convenient. Spatial analysis is difficult with
5. Hecson Christian Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com

www.ijera.com 30|P a g e
respect to writing the software program. The vector
model is extremely useful for describing discrete
features, but less useful for describing continuously
varying features such as soil type or accessibility
costs for hospitals.
The raster model has evolved to model such
continuous features. A raster image comprises a
collection of grid cells rather like a scanned
map or picture. Both the vector and raster
models for storing geographic data have unique
advantages and disadvantages. Modern GIS
packages are able to handle both models.
Scope Of GIS
GIS is used to perform a variety of Spatial
analysis, including overlaying combinations of
features and recording resultant conditions,
analyzing flows or other characteristics of
networks; proximity analysis (i.e. buffet
zoning) and defining districts in terms of spatial
criteria.
GIS can interrogate geographic features and
retrieve associated attribute information, called
identification. It can generate new set of maps
by query and analysis. It also evolves new
information by spatial operations.
Following are the analytical procedures applied
with a GIS. GIS operational procedure and
analytical tasks that are particularly useful for
spatial analysis include:
a) Single layer operations
b) Multi layer operations/ Topological overlay
c) Geometric modelling
d) Calculating the distance between geographic
features and calculating area, length and
perimeter
e) Geometric buffers
f) Network analysis
g) Surface analysis
h) Raster/Grid analysis
Proposed Use Of GIS Techniques In Landfill
Site Selection
For the case of Surat Urban Area, it is proposed
to include 4 sites located at various zones of the
city for the purpose of Solid Waste Landfill to
satisfy the growing population of the city.
The locations of the sites (as shown in the map)
are as follows:
a) West-Zone (2 sites)
b) North-Zone (1 site)
c) East-Zone (1 site)
Fig 4.1 Proposed Locations of Landfill Sites
For each of the above sites as shown in the
figure, GIS Maps will be prepared and subsequent
comparative analysis shall be done using MCDM
techniques.
VI. CONCLUSION
This study started with an objective that
there should be a scientific method for the selection
of site for solid waste landfill. There is a strong link
between quality of life in cities and how cities draw
on and manage the natural resources available to
them. Projected population increase in 2031 is 8.6
Million. So therefore it is necessary to select a
suitable and long-lasting efficient solid waste
landfill site. As such, the transition to resource
efficiency rests on a range of factors such as
redefining how urban systems are understood at the
global level, developing a shared language for
evaluating city sustainability and reviewing indices
that account for the sustainability of cities. Resource
efficiency also needs to be situated within the
context of human development.
From an overview of recent literature and
case study reports, it was found that transition to
sustainability is in three different parts: a
demographic transition, rural to urban (RUrban)
transition and environmental transition. The future
direction of Indian urbanization is not only an
important domestic concern but also a major
international opportunity to demonstrate the
viability of a more sustainable development. A
multilevel climate adaptation framework is
necessary, which works at national, state, city and
neighborhood levels.
