摘要：Solid waste management continues to be one of the major issues facing municipal planners. As
urban populations rise, so does the build-up of waste. Planners are thus forced to consider alternate
and available means of disposal, especially by minimizing damage to the ecosystem and human
population. This paper shows such alternatives by using GIS and remote sensing techniques to
identify appropriate areas suitable for waste disposal at Niamey, Niger. It provides a selection of
environmentally friendly disposal sites, thus supplying reasonable, convenient and administratively
transparent solutions to the waste disposal problem.
