Choosing A Site For The Waste Dump For The City Of Baghdad Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Abstract

The city of Baghdad faces great challenges in solid waste management, as waste accumulates in residential and public areas, posing a threat to public health and the environment. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to assist authorities in managing solid waste by analyzing spatial data and determining the best locations for waste disposal sites. This includes building a mapping model to visualize and analyze spatial data using various GIS tools, and identify key selection factors for selecting the best waste disposal sites, such as distance from residential and public areas, water resources, and the environment. The end results can provide appropriate recommendations and solutions to improve solid waste management in Baghdad.
