The Amount Of Household Waste Produced By The Mainly Urban Population In Morocco Continues To Increase Year After Year. Morocco Is Thus Confronted With The Problems Of Storage And Disposal Of This Waste, Which Are Composed Largely Of Organic Matter, Bio-Waste. In The Recent Past, These Wastes Have Been Buried In Wild Dumps Or In Old Quarries Located In Areas Close To Urban Centers Without Any Treatment Or Control. This Can Constitute Significant Risks Both For Public Health And The Environment And For The Future Of The Socio-Economic Activities Of The Country. Determination Of Proper Landfill Site Involves Multiple Disciplines. The Landfills Contain A Large Quantity Of Solid Waste. The Management Of Solid Waste (Msw) Necessitates The Involvement Of Different Stakeholders. In This Paper, We Aim To Determine The Appropriate Landfill Site At The Level Of The Municipality Of Ajdir In The Province Of Al Hoceima Morocco. We Take Into Consideration The Opinions Of The Stakeholders. Based On Environmental, Socio-Cultural And Economic Criteria. For This Purpose, We Used In This Paper Two Multi-Criteria Analysis Methods. The Geographic Information System (Gis) And The Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp). First, We Created The Database Gis Related To The Study Area. Next, This Data Was Processed To Determine The Landfill Sites That Respect The Stakeholder's Priorities And Exclusion Criteria. Then, A Multi-Criteria Analysis By Ahp Method Was Carried Out To Offer Different Visual Representations Of The Possible Solutions Of The Site’s Choice, Especially The Multi-Scale, Multi-Theme Maps And The Construction Of The Free Zones Which Can Shelter A Landfill Which Will Contribute To The Evaluation Of These Criteria While Integrating The Stakeholders Who Assisted In The Rationalization Of The Sub-Criteria’s Judgments Involved In The Study.
