Abstract

Areas with potential for creating landfill in the southern state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil), were identified by means of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using multi-criteria analysis. They are assigned different weights for determining areas considered with or without restriction for the landfill facility. The most favorable classes for landfill installation have the largest areas (220.800 ha), representing 78% of the study area, in the municipalities of Tacuru and Iguatemi. The classes with the highest restriction showed up unrepresentative in the study area, being the city of Coronel Sapucaia, the largest quantity of about 47 ha. We did here a first approximation of this type of study because the inclusion of other variables of social and environmental (opinion of the locals and standards such as the Forest Code and Zoning Ecological Economic), may result in more restrictions and potential for location this type of infrastructure.
