- A Framework for Landfill Site Selection: An AHP-Topsis Approach
Abstract Views :317 |
PDF Views:1
Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on real condition of the studyregion and considering various evaluation criteria, a hierarchical model is proposed for solving the solid waste landfill site selection problem. After makingthe required hierarchy, the weights for each criteria are calculated by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method.Finally, TOPSIS is utilized to choose the best alternative Landfill site.
Findings: Abest candidate site is suggested for the use for landfill purposeas the regionhas a high suitability value calculated by the AHP and TOPSIS techniques.
Practical Implication: The outcome of this study offers a framework to support to decision maker in the solution of the problem in the management of solid waste for the city.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the understanding of management solid waste in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha.

Purpose: It is becoming challenging operation for the municipal corporation in India to manage solid waste in a scientific, modern and cost-effective manner. In India the final disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) are done commonly in landfills. Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha is a fast growing city in eastern India having an unscientific, inefficient and outdated solid waste management system. Following this lead, the main objective of this research is the selection of asuitable landfill site within or nearer to the Bhubaneswar city.Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on real condition of the studyregion and considering various evaluation criteria, a hierarchical model is proposed for solving the solid waste landfill site selection problem. After makingthe required hierarchy, the weights for each criteria are calculated by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method.Finally, TOPSIS is utilized to choose the best alternative Landfill site.
Findings: Abest candidate site is suggested for the use for landfill purposeas the regionhas a high suitability value calculated by the AHP and TOPSIS techniques.
Practical Implication: The outcome of this study offers a framework to support to decision maker in the solution of the problem in the management of solid waste for the city.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the understanding of management solid waste in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha.

With the growing public awareness regarding mining environmental issues, pressure is surmounting on mining industries to reduce their environmental impact. Mining industries also have responded to these pressures by adopting various environmental practices. However green supply chain management (GSCM) has been gaining popularity as it focuses on reduction of environmental impact of the entire supply chain instead of the individual organization. Though strong research evidence exists regarding positive relationship between GSCM practices and improved organizational performance, still most of Indian mining industries are standing on the cross roads of GSCM adoption. The reason is the insufficient knowledge regarding the influential factors of GSCM. It has been found that there is no difference among different mining sectors in perception regarding the barriers of GSCM implementation.Keywords
