Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Environmental Engineering

International Journal of Environmental Engineering (IJEE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Landfill site selection using geographical information system and remote sense techniques. A case of Fiche Town, North Shewa, Oromiya, Ethiopia   Order a copy of this article
    by Bezu Abera Geresu 
    Abstract: This study investigates unsafe municipal solid waste disposal in Ethiopia, using GPS data, secondary data from governmental offices, and satellite images. During determining a suitable site, ten factors such as land use, land cover, built-up area, geology, religious institutions, soil, slope, road network, groundwater table, and surface water were selected initially. These parameters were analysed using pairwise comparison and a weighted analytical hierarchy process. As the results indicated, the suitable area is about 566 ha (19.66%), the moderately suitable is 432.8 ha (22%), the low suitable is about 1,830.58 ha (63.54%) and the unsuitable area is about 51.56 ha (1.79%) of the study area. The selected suitable sites were in the direction of the south, southeast, northern, and west parts of Fiche Town. These areas are far from the main road, built-up areas, religious institutions, surface water, and groundwater Moreover, the site had: basalt geology, vertosol type of soil, low-depth groundwater (>50 m), and low slope (<10%).
    Keywords: geographical information system; municipal solid waste; MSW; site selection; the analytic hierarchy process.

  • Application and practice of sustainable design in landscape planning machine learning and spatial agglomeration optimisation   Order a copy of this article
    by Ge Liu, Ajmera Mohan Singh, Manual Bexci 
    Abstract: This study examines the shortcomings in the techniques and resources used in landscape performance research and offers a substitute framework for performance evaluation supported by smart devices. Landscape performance has been a new area of emphasis for sustainability research in an effort to more accurately quantify sustainable performance. This creative research emphasis has developed in response to the increased awareness of sustainability. This study’s objectives are to do a thorough evaluation of relevant literature and a detailed examination of the case studies and performance metrics that the landscape performance series (LPS) has recorded. Furthermore, surveys are carried out in order to analyse quantitative instruments. The study’s conclusions indicate that there are many issues with the current body of research on landscape performance. In addition to this, it provides a list of suggestions for expanding study on the performance of landscapes. In addition to assisting in the accomplishment of sustainable development objectives, it contributes to the improvement of landscape performance via research.
    Keywords: landscape performance; performance measurement tools; smart device; alternative framework; sustainable development.
