Siting a solid waste conversion facility requires an assessment of solid waste availability as well as ensuring compliance with environmental, social, and economic factors. The main idea behind this study was to develop a methodology to locate suitable locations for waste conversion facilities considering waste availability as well as environmental and social constraints. A geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis was used to identify the most suitable areas and to screen out unsuitable lands. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used for a multi-criteria evaluation of relative preferences of different environmental and social factors. A case study was conducted for Alberta, a western province in Canada, by performing a province-wide waste availability assessment. The total available waste considered in this study was 4,077,514tonnes/year for 19 census divisions collected from 79 landfills. Finally, a location-allocation analysis was performed to determine suitable locations for 10 waste conversion facilities across the province.
选址固体废物转化设施需要评估固体废物的可用性，同时确保符合环境、社会和经济因素。本研究的主要目的是开发一种方法，以确定考虑废物可用性以及环境和社会限制的废物转化设施的合适位置。地理信息系统（GIS）空间分析用于识别最合适的区域，并筛选出不合适的土地。层次分析法（AHP）用于对不同环境和社会因素的相对偏好进行多准则评估。通过对加拿大西部省份艾伯塔省进行全省废物可用性评估，进行了案例研究。本研究共考虑了 79 个垃圾填埋场从 19 个普查分区收集的 4,077,514 吨/年的总可用废物。最后，进行了位置-分配分析，以确定全省 10 个废物转化设施的合适位置。
