Abstract
The management of solid waste disposal is an issue that features in
urban planning due to population rise and hence build-up of solid wastes.
Planners are forced to use suitable disposal means to minimise damages that
may occur to ecosystem and population. This study sought to develop a site
selection model for urban solid waste disposal management. The aim of the
study was attained by assessing the current system of: waste collection;
transportation; disposal and monitoring to identify model requirements before
its design and validation in Gulu Municipality. A total of 370 respondents were
purposively sampled using Morgan table for sample size and managed with the
help of questionnaires and interviews. The methods of: GIS and remote
sensing; spatial multi criteria evaluation and analytical hierarchy processing
were used in the study. The determined damping sites were classified by
aggregation based on criteria weights and the best one selected using a sizing
procedure.
