Solidwaste dumping system in the city is an open dumping system. As a result thereare environmental and social problems resulted from the dumping site. Severalof the sources of solid wastes are from household, market, agriculture and commercialarea and putted in an open dumping site, which may contain the components ofleachable toxic that are hazardous to the human health and to the environment,at the dumping site without any separation and treatment. Moreover, the dumpingsite is very close to the main road, and it has a low distance to Tnjaro riverand surrounded by residential houses hence resulted in societal problems likehealth danger and environmental problems.

In viewof the above, this study looks to adopt the best methodology for the selectionfor landfill sites within the study area, as well as taking into consideringthe natural, artificial factors and environmental factors. Using the results ofprevious and present work, the following conclusions can be stated:1. Opendumping of waste leads to many environmental problems, including surface and groundwater contamination, rodent, insect and disease infestation and others. Solid wasteis disposed of on the daily basis in Sulaymaniyah city by burning. This leads tomany population health problem in the city and villages near them.2.

Thevalue of solid waste generation rate 0.794 kg/ (capita· day) in 2016 based oninformation of Sulaymaniyah Directory of Municipality with expected incrementrate in generation rate of (1.3) kg/ (capita· day) per year.3. InSulaymaniyah city, the generation rate values in 2016 were (0.8065 and 0.

86)kg/ (capita· day) based on the results from the methods (1 and 2) respectively.4. Generationrate of solid waste Comparison with other studies puts Sulaymaniyah city as amiddle-income city.5. Basedon expected increment rate in generation rate of (1.3) kg/ (capita· day) peryear, the value of generation rate in 2032 will be (1.

057) kg/ (capita. day) inSulaymaniyah city respectively.6.Annual quantities of solid waste generated in Sulaymaniyah city was 230,186tonnes respectively when inhabitants of Sulaymaniyah city was 723,898 inhabitantsin 2017 correspondingly. With the population growing rate of 2.

99%, the totalpopulation in Sulaymaniyah city will reach to 1,126,168 inhabitants in 2032.Table 5.1 shows the expected waste to be produced in 2032 and the cumulativequantity of solid waste for the period 2020- 2032 in the methods first andsecond correspondingly.7. The quantityof solid waste generated in 2032 and the accumulative quantity of solid waste2020-2032 in the method 2 were implemented to calculate the required landfill area,where the value was derived from the method 2 has  higher than the resulted value from the method1. Depended on these result, the required area for candidate landfill inSulaymaniyah city is 2.438 km2.8.

Inthis study, fifteen map layers were used in the process of overlaying withinGIS and analysis in order to find the most suitable site for landfill inSulaymaniyah city. These map layers are water wells, slope, rivers, elevation,soil types, land use, agricultural land use, military site, roads, power lines,industrial area, airport, urban centers, archaeological sites and villages. .

The criteria used in this study are not fixed factors since they can vary from siteto site and these criteria can be changed accordingly in the analysis process.9. Theweights of each criteria were determined utilizing AHP method, and after that the weights forsub-criteria of all criterion were calculated depended on the opinions ofexperts and produced previously supporting literature. To produce thesuitability index map for the landfill siting, applied the method of WLC  on all criteria using “map algebra” in GIS in specialanalysis tool. After the analysis process, in the “most suitable” category onthe final map in Sulaymaniyah city, two candidate sites were selected forlandfill between several sites. These selected sites were checked on the Googleearth to make sure that these sites were more suitable for landfill.
