Landscape Repair Approach in Solid Waste Landfill Facilities: The Case of Burdur Province, Türkiye

Abstract

The waste that has emerged in parallel with the rapid urbanisation that followed the Industrial Revolution, and the management of this waste, is a major problem for cities. In our country, municipal waste is disposed of randomly and stored regularly. The landfill method is used to prevent and reduce the harmfulness of waste production. However, when landfills are located in urban environments, they cause environmental problems, such as a reduction in residential quality or a deterioration of the urban ecology. Pollutants, one of the environmental problems, are seen in the solid waste dump in Burdur town and its surroundings. The solid waste landfill is located in the potential settlement area. For this reason, image and air pollution in the environment should be minimised. The preparation of the landscape design project for the facility using the landscape repair technique shows that environmental problems can be eliminated with minimal changes. In this context, a project proposal has been prepared to avoid the pollution caused by the landfill in the city of Burdur and to improve the environmental quality of potential urban settlements.
