Spatial Analysis of the Solid Waste Bins in the Sectors of the City of Mosul "Environmental Study in Geographic Information Systems

Abstract

An experimental study on a passive solar distiller in the Tikrit city on (latitude line"34 36o
The problem of solid waste in Mosul city is one of the most important daily problems that faces
the municipal and other institutions, because it consists eight sectors and those of varied in the
people preparation, economic conditions and area, This study aimed to identify the spatial
variation of solid waste as well as the geographical distribution of bins numbers and spatial
analysis using geographic information systems. The study produced many maps of the bins
number distribution geographically using buffer tools that used to determine the area served by
a single bin, as well as the maps of the spatial analysis by Theissen polygons and IDW
methods. The study results proved the efficiency of IDW compared to Theissen polygons
method, because the analysis by polygons Theissen methods show only the capacity and
efficiency of the bin to accommodate the solid waste at the same location, as well as of the
generality and comprehensiveness at the area expense in the spatial description process unlike
the first type.
