Municipal solid waste landfills represent environmentally sensitive land-use objects whose management requires accurate registration, continuous monitoring, and spatially informed decision-making. In Uzbekistan, landfill governance remains constrained by fragmented cadastral records, incomplete environmental control, and weak integration between land administration and ecological monitoring systems. This study develops a GIS-based framework for the cadastral management of waste landfills by integrating cadastral, topographic, hydrological, soil, land-use, and monitoring data within a unified spatial platform. The methodology is based on geospatial database preparation, landfill boundary digitization, overlay analysis, buffer zoning, and sensitivity classification. The results show that the proposed framework improves the positional clarity of landfill registration, enables the identification of environmentally sensitive sites, supports the detection of land-use conflicts, and facilitates the prioritization of landfill monitoring. The study demonstrates that GIS can serve as an effective tool for linking cadastral management with environmental assessment and spatial governance. The proposed approach is particularly relevant for countries with incomplete digital cadastral integration and legacy landfill infrastructure.References
