Abstract
The prompt urbanization and expansion in Kozhikode Corporation, Kerala, have led to a surge in solid waste creation, posing environmental and public health challenges. This chapter aims to recognize an environmentally and developmentally appropriate spot for solid waste dumping using GIS and remote sensing technologies. By employing supervised classification, reclassification, and Euclidean distance analysis, key parameters such as land use, elevation, geology, water resources, and proximity to infrastructure were analyzed. Weighted overlay analysis was applied to classify the suitability of sites into five categories: very high, high, moderate, low, and very low. Results indicate that the eastern wards, including Kovoor, Mayanad, and Chelavoor, are most suitable for waste disposal due to their sparse buildup and availability of barren lands, with approximately 2.52 hectares identified as very highly suitable. This research underscores the importance of sustainable waste management practices and provides actionable insights for reducing environmental and health risks in urban areas.
