A critical challenge confronting cities today is the disposal or storage of generated waste. Municipal solid waste landfill site appraisal is essential for sustainable and ecologically responsible solid waste management. In this study, a suitability analysis for municipal solid waste disposal sites in the Burdur Lake Basin was conducted using multi-criteria decision-making tools, specifically the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Geographic Information System. AHP established a hierarchy structure that facilitated the determination of the significance levels of the parameter and sub-parameter through the assignment of weights. A landfill suitability map was created using these parameter weights in a GIS analysis. The study region is categorized into four landfill suitability classes: inappropriate (35.72 %), low suitability (23.75 %), suitable (18.14 %) and high suitability (22.38 %). Thus, it has been determined that the conditions of the existing landfill site in Burdur province are met, and two alternative landfill sites have been identified for future use. The study offers valuable insights for decision-makers engaged in sustainable solid waste management in Türkiye and comparable regions. - How to find an environmental landfill to achieve sustainable development - What regional characteristics and parameters are considered in the selection of the landfill site.
