In a city with a growing population such as Vancouver there are naturally issues surrounding what to do with the garbage produced by this expanding population. For the past 20 years Metro Vancouver has been trucking about 500, 000 tonnes of garbage annually to a landfill in the community of Cache Creek, but with this location set to reach it's capacity in the coming years Metro Vancouver is looking for alternative ways to deal with it's garbage. One of the solutions put forward has been to build incinerators in Vancouver to burn some of the trash to generate electricity. The location of incinerators in Vancouver would be a sensitive issue and would surely be subjected to a "not in my backyard" objection from local communities. But with proper geographical analysis of Metro Vancouver it should be possible to determine locations that could largely mitigate the negative effects of these facilities. Keeping incinerators away from densely populated areas would be crucial factor to lower any potential health risk. In addition, issues such as not allowing the incinerators to negatively effect surrounding property values and preventing them from upsetting the beauty of the city should also be taken into consideration. The many pros and cons of garbage incineration allows much room for debating whether they are the best solution to deal with waste, and therefore answering such a question is beyond the scope of this project. But by using multicriteria decision analysis to take into account the geographical and socioeconomic conditions of Metro Vancouver I will attempt to decide on the ideal location for a garbage incinerator assuming such a waste management plan was to be implemented.
