Abstract :
Determining the best location is a complex process that faces the Decision makers. In El- Mahalla El-Kubra, Egypt this problem exists in selecting the best location of wastewater lift station for the industrial sewage system. The site selection problem comes with criteria that determine the best location. In order to solve this problem, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique that is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Geographical Information System (GIS) is used. An application adopting the AHP idea is developed to calculate weights for the criteria of the site. The GIS was used to overlay and generate criteria maps and suitability map. The study ends with an assessment of proposed sites to the generated suitability map
