Abstract

Landfill is the area for the disposal of solid waste. The increase in solid waste production has resulted in existing landfills are no longer able to accommodate the number of waste more and more. Difficulty arises in determining suitable area as landfills causing a lot of problems. This study aimed to determine the appropriate area as landfills in Batu Pahat district by using Geographic Information System (GIS). In addition to the Batu Pahat district has yet to have its own landfill. GIS is an information system that can help make a decision on the form of a map display. The ability of GIS is integrating spatial data and data attributes in the collect, store and analyze the data. Spatial Data used in this study includes street maps, land use maps, map series, gradient map, map of flood area, and map of settlements, location map and a map of the river. This data has been divided into two parts in the form of attribute data includes the criteria constraints and criteria factors. The value of the weights given to factor the relative criteria depending on the importance and value of the rating is determined using the model Hierarchy Analytic approach (AHP). Next method of filtering and grant value weighting is analyzed to produce a map showing the extent of the suitability of the landfill. The results show the suitability of the spaces as landfill area.
