Abstarct: The excessive urbanization and population growth has to an explanation in per-capita consumption. This has, in turn, led to the production of large amounts of municipal solid wastes that must be considered as one of most important threats of the living environment in urban areas. Selection of landfill sites is one of the important steps in the management of solid wastes. Considering the environmental, economic and ecological hazards which may be related to the landfills, the site selecting of landfills should be implemented on a scientific basis. Chenaran town in the North of Khorasan Razavi province with production of 70 tons of waste per day, has not any appropriate site for waste disposal. In the present study in order to select the most suitable site for landfill site in Chenaran area, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was combined with a geographic information system (GIS) to examine several criteria, such as hydrology/ hydrogeology, lithology, soil texture, land use, slope, seismicity, distance from faults, distance from residential areas, wind direction, distance from the roads and access to loan resources. Geographic information system (GIS) was used to manipulate the spatial data and to produce the maps. Data were assorted into four suitability classes within the study area, i.e., high, moderate, low and very low suitability areas, which represented 11%, 13%, 37% and 39%, of the study are. As a result, 5 candidate sites were suggested for landfill site. Considering all the criteria, candidate sites were discussed and finally one site (zone 5) with position 58˚57′ E and 36˚29′ N were suggested as the most suitable site for landfill in Chenaran area. The results of this research will be urban environment of the study area.
