Abstract

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2179460X15973

Nowadays, one of the financial and environmental problems faced by cities is related to the adequate final disposal of solid waste in municipal sanitary landfills. The selection of the areas implies in several factors as the proximity of watercourses, soil resistance to contaminating effects, protection of conservation areas, size of the area available, distance between collection and disposal, which are the main issues that make the topic relevant. Thereby, was employed a methodology to assess the potential for selected of areas with the capacity to receive a landfill, considering as the study areas intercropping municipalities, by using techniques of Geographic Information Systems. The method used, considered as criteria of exclusion for unsuitable areas, the airport security zones, conservation unities and others operational and technical aspects of environmental, weighted according to their influence within the theme, generate the ranking of the most suitable areas for 20-years operation of landfill installation. Therefore, after applying the criteria, it was found that less than 50% of the entire region area is suitable for such an initiative leading to 31ranked sites with great aptitude to implementation of the landfill sanitary, according to multicriteria analysis by weighted overlay.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
