dc.description.abstractMedical waste generally consists of many different types of materials so it cause environmental hazards and public health risks. Therefore to protect public and environment local authorities must take special measures associated with medical waste management. Medical waste site selection has been taken into account for better management in urban areas. In this study, candidate sites for an appropriate landfill area in Konya are determined by using the integration of Geographic Information Systems. For this purpose, six input map layers including, settlements (urban centers and villages), roads (Highway and village roads), railways, slope, irrigation canal, grasslands are prepared and simple additive weighting method is implemented to a geographical information system. A final map was generated which identifies regions showing suitability for the location of the landfill site. At the end of the analyses, candidate sites are determined. Among these candidates, the most suitable potential landfill site should be selected by decision makers in Konya.en_US
