For the needs of this paper, we categorized all the parameters into five major groups: a) Geological – Geomorphological – Hydrological - Hydrogeological, b) Land planning, c) Environmental d) Operational and e) Financial. Each group may contain many sub-groups and so on. In this study we attempt to indicate the most suitable areas for the establishment of&lt;br&gt;a sanitary landfill at Naxos island, using Geographical Information Systems. The&lt;br&gt;method of ‘multiple selection criteria’, helps to objectively specify suitable areas,&lt;br&gt;based on given weight factors for each parameter.&lt;br&gt;Geographical Information Systems enabled the processing of all necessary&lt;br&gt;parameters and weight factors in order to develop different theoretical models for&lt;br&gt;Naxos island. All resulting areas, were automatically marked by the GIS, and the best&lt;br&gt;possible solution was isolated. Moreover, we developed different thematic maps,&lt;br&gt;graphically representing the elimination criteria and the resulting positions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
