This paper focuses on the application of a multi-criteria analysis methodology - the analytical hierarchy process - for the locating of a sanitary landfill on the small island of Mauritius. Four candidate sites were assessed using three main criteria (environmental, technical and socio-economic) and twenty-one sub-criteria. Scores were assigned to each criterion and sub-criterion by stakeholders in the solid waste sector, based on the impact assessment of each site so as to obtain their relative importance. The analytical hierarchy process was then applied, which involved the combination of the weights obtained at the different stages of pair-wise comparisons. The candidate sites were finally ranked to obtain the optimum site. Because of political factors, the second best ranked site was chosen by the authorities for the location of a new landfill on the island. This technique provides a realistic approach for use by small island developing states such as Mauritius for choosing and justifying to all stakeholders the best location for a sanitary landfill site or any other waste management site.
本文着重探讨多准则分析方法——层次分析法在毛里求斯小岛卫生填埋场选址中的应用。使用三个主要标准（环境、技术和社会经济）以及二十一个子标准对四个候选场地进行了评估。固体废物领域的利益相关者根据每个场地的影响评估，为每个标准和子标准赋予分数，以确定它们的相对重要性。随后应用层次分析法，该方法涉及对成对比较不同阶段获得的权重进行组合。最终对候选场地进行排名以获得最佳场地。由于政治因素，当局选择了排名第二的场地作为该岛新填埋场的选址。这种技术为毛里求斯等小岛屿发展中国家提供了一种切实可行的方法，用于选择卫生填埋场或任何其他废物管理场地的最佳位置，并向所有利益相关者说明理由。
