Modeling of Criteria Affecting in Locating Dry Waste Recycling Booth in Tehran Using a Mixture of Fuzzy Delphi and FAHP Methods

In the metropolis of Tehran, municipal waste recycling management with produce more than 6500 tonnes per day, consisting of 42% of dry waste, is important. One of the centers pertaining to waste separation is recycling booth. An attempt is made in the present article to use the view points of the concerned experts with the aim of the modeling the criterions affecting the location of recycling booth through effectiveness and usefulness approach. The method used in the article is analytical -descriptive. Due to the spatial characteristic of locating process, and the Inherent uncertainty of urban issues, in order to determine the parameters affecting the location of recycling booth Fuzzy Delphi method, and to calculate weight of criteria, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is used. The results indicate that five main criteria and 16 sub-criteria are considered as prominent characteristic, such criteria like “centrality”, “efficiency and overlap”, “native characteristics and factors”, “adoptability”, “inadaptability”, and sub-criteria like “population density”, “accessibility”, “economic Potential of the booth”, “public participation” and “lack of neighborhood with military and security centers” are considered as the first to fifth priorities of components effective in the model of locating recycling booth in Tehran city.
