Abstract: In today's world, handling solid waste is a global environmental issue. The population growth has led to an increase in the production of industry, residential and services and this has a negative environmental impact. The disposal of urban solid waste is known as one in developing countries ' municipalities ' most serious environmental problems. The placement of the dumping site in unsafe places has one of these consequences. The aim of this paper is to create a suitable site for the disposal of urban solid waste generated in and around Aurangabad through GIS technology. Based on analysis of Landsat satellite data, the urban area over the last three decades was increased by more than 240%, mostly south and southwest, apart from the nearby villages where the increase was in the east and northeast. Ultimately three sites, taking the environmental, biophysical and economic variables implemented in the GI-based WLC study into account, were proposed as alternatives to the current waste disposal sites.
