OBJECTIVE

• To validate the site suitability index map to improve the accuracies

2

INTRODUCTION

• Municipal solid waste (MSW) management has become one of the global concerns in developing countries such as Malaysia

• Urbanisation and economic development lead to large waste produced

• Landfilling is the main waste disposal method utilised in the country

3

• Selangor has a total of 20 landfills of which 13 are closed and 7 still operating

• Most are Level 0 (open dumping) or Level 1 (non-sanitary)

• Most of the landfills in Selangor are built and operated without proper monitoring facilities and pollution controls

4

• Landfills being built near to residential area • Sharifah Norkhadijah (2011) has suggested

areas that suitable for landfill development – GIS and MCDA

• How accurate of this map?

Study area: Selangor

Figure 1: The population of the urban areas in 2010 of Selangor (Source: Department of Statistic Malaysia, 2010).

• Selangor has a total area of 8,104 km2 with 5.4 million inhabitants in 2010. • This is approximately 20% of Malaysia’s total population

Map validation

Map validation• Visual assessment of the map with the interpolated

water quality data. – Determine the differences between maps – Whether it were consistent with the physical

characteristic

CONCLUSIONS • Suitability index map in Sharifah Norkhadijah

(2011) is not consistent with the water quality parameters analysed in this study.

• Areas designated as high suitability was reported with high level of contaminants – locate landfill on these areas will worsen the environment

• Except for C8, C10, C11 & C12.
