Abstract

The environmental problems
caused by accelerated urbanization in recent years have reached vital limits.
As the population increases in the cities, the problem of waste disposal and
storage arises. The incorrect selection of sanitary landfill sites affects
human and other living creatures because of the malodour sprawling from these
sites. Such problems in particularly appears in metropoles as Istanbul. The
main objective of this study is to analyse potential impact of the malodour
emitted by the second degree of sanitary landfills, Odayeri and Kömürcüoda
located in Istanbul. In this context, the population and land use/land cover
(LU/LC) characteristics lands were estimated with in a multiple ring buffer
located around the landfill areas using Open Source GIS Technology. As a
conclusion the neighbourhoods affected by two sanitary landfills in different
buffer zones examined by comparing the population and different LU/LC classes
in those areas. This study resulted that in case of a potential malodour emitted
from landfill areas, the most affected neighbourhood is Göktürk Merkez for
Odayeri, while Avcıkoru is for Kömürcüoda. Total population and the
characteristics of the affected lands were determined and explained in detail
within the context of the study.
