Also MOORA method was used to select the most suitable solid waste site. As a result of this study, it has been determined that the importance of solid waste landfill site selection criteria are "Natural Life Protection Areas", "Land Costs", "Population Density", "Soil and Geology Structure", "Distance to Urban Areas". On the other hand, it has been determined that the least caretakers are "Slope", "River Network", "Road Network", "Underground Water Conservation Areas", "Historical and Important Cultural Areas".
