| Abstract | In response to cumulative municipal waste problem in Pathumthani, a waste-to-energy electric powerplant is selected as waste management approach. This study aims at assessing waste-to-energy power plantpotential zones in Pathumthani using Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS data collection depends on all12 factors considered in this study as follows: the distances from power plant site to communities, to industrialareas, to power lines, to power stations, to waterworks stations, to hospitals, to education institutes, to main waterresources, to accessible roads, to railways, to airports and the risk of flooding. After multiple layers of informationhave been generated as a single map using GIS, the suitable power plant locations are defined on the basis of theordered weighted averaging (OWA) technique. Color-coded symbology is applied to the maps to differentiatesuitable/unsuitable areas for power plant establishment. Considering proportions of suitable areas of each of theseven districts to the total area of the province, the most suitable district is Klong Luang, followed by Nongsua,Lamlukka, Ladlumkaew, Muang Pathumthani, Thanyaburi, and Samkok districts, respectively. This analysisapproach should be further developed and applied to other areas. |
