The goal of this project was to create a map of landfills in Armenia that have been on fire during the last five years and to rank the landfills based on criteria determining how harmful they are to nearby communities and the environment. The map and rankings can further be used by the project sponsor to take measures to prevent the negative impact of landfill fires on both the environment and surrounding communities.
