GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis identifies optimal landfill sites in Pokhara, suggesting sustainable urban planning strategies.

Only 5.2% of the total area in Pokhara is very suitable for landfill development, indicating limited options available.
The study employed GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis, with criteria including proximity to environmental features and land conditions.
Field verification confirmed that the GIS-based model is reliable and the landfill siting process is transparent and replicable.
This approach can aid sustainable landfill siting in rapidly urbanizing regions like the Himalayas, addressing waste management challenges.

Rimal et al. (2025) studied this question.
