Resource planning for a single landfill site selection model based on greedy strategy: a case study

Landfilling, which has emerged as the most common method for disposal of solid waste and selection of appropriate landfill for solid waste management, is a crucial aspect in urban planning. It is compulsory to consider the various criteria, such as environmental, economic, and social criteria, in or...
