An Application of Geographic Information System to Select Areas for Sanitary Landfill in Bang Nok- Khwaek Municipality

The study of Sanitary landfill in Bang Nok-khwaek
municipality consists of two procedures. First, to survey and create
the spatial database by using physical factor, environmental factor,
economical factor and social factor to follow the method of
Geographic information system: GIS, second, to analyze the proper
spatial for allocating the sanitary landfill in Bang Nok-khwaek
municipality by using Overlay techniques to calculate the weighting
linear total in Arc GIS program.
The study found that there are 2.49 sq.km. proper spatial for the
sanitary landfill in Bang Nok-khwaek municipals city which is
66.76% of the whole area. The highest proper spatial is 0.02 sq.km.
which is 0.54%, The high proper spatial is 0.3 sq.km. which is
8.04%, the moderate spatial is 1.62 sq.km. which is 43.43% and the
low proper spatial is 0.55 sq.km. which is 14.75%. These results will
be used as the guideline to select the sanitary landfill area in
accordance with sanitation standard for Subdistrict Administrative
Organization and Subbdistrict Municipality in Samut Songkhram
provice.
