Abstract :
The management of waste within the urban landscape has become a critical concern. With landfill capacities steadily decreasing. This study was performanced to select of optimum waste landfill site using GSIS methodology to reduce the time, cost and effort. The results of this study, can be used to investigate many factors synthetically which could not be handled by previous methods in the site selection for waste landfill
