In this study, Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) is one of multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM). SWARA used to define the weights of main criteria and sub-criteria for selecting landfill sites in Baghdad governorate for municipality solid waste. To control of the environmental pollution and the spread of municipality solid waste in irregular sites, SWARA was used for this matter. The alternative Landfill site selection must be properly selected in terms of environmental, social and geological criteria. The obtained results of this study, the most important criteria for selecting municipality solid waste landfill sites were determined. Based on that, the ranking weights of main criteria and sub-criteria for selecting the landfill site for solid waste in Baghdad governorate were founds.
