dc.description.abstractA recent study showed that among the problems of chemical wastes, pesticide chemical wastes disposal system is a serious challenge to human health and the environment as well. Particularly, Ethiopian chemical industries have no optimized disposal techniques and potential sites to avoid obsolete pesticide chemicals safely and environmentally friendly. This research attempts to answer how to dispose of pesticide chemical wastes through potential site selection using GIS and RS with the context of developing countries, particularly in Ethiopian Pesticide Chemical Industries. To dispose of obsolete pesticide chemical wastes safely, this study used a GIS-based multi-criterion as an optimized approach to determine temporary site selection. Based on the explored practices & challenges, and the selected disposal criteria and techniques, a suitable potential site was determined for disposing of pesticide chemical wastes. Geographic Information System (GIS) & Remote Sensing (RS) were used as analysis tools to identify the optimum site for disposing of obsolete chemical wastes. Hence, the researcher believes that GIS and RS with the integration of Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) have the potential for selecting a proper temporary storage site in the process of pesticide chemical waste disposal which can reduce cost and minimize risks.
