Abstract

The treatment of municipal solid waste has different impacts on the society, economy and environment of a region. It is extremely important to select a municipal solid waste disposal method suitable for the Tibetan Plateau. In the study, social, technical, economic, environmental and municipal solid waste characteristics are selected as comprehensive analysis indicators, and then combined with analytical hierarchy process and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution methods for comprehensive analysis. The results show that the population size, population growth, population density and other indicators account for a large weight, and have a greater impact on the selection of municipal solid waste treatment methods. Through the final analysis, it is believed that the incineration treatment method is better than the landfill treatment method in the Tibetan plateau area.
