Science - Human Resources / planejamento urbano

Portuguese term or phrase: encravado

O texto fala dos aspectos que complicam o planejamento urbano em determinado área, "em especial pela existência de um aterro sanitário encravado na área" pensei em "placed" , mas encravado é mais forte; pensei em "encroached", mas pode dar uma ideia de ilegitimidade, não pode. foi o próprio governo que colocou o aterro lá. "inserted"?

Explanation:
É difícil pensar num termo para captar todo o sentido de "encravado". Mas, como comentou, nenhum sentido negativo é cabível, já que o próprio governo encravou o aterro lá!

improperly located

Explanation:
As the following shows, even governments err, and it often takes more than a single word to correct their mistakes (or protect refugees from the elephants):

Lack of proper, pre-selected evacuation sites, evacuation routes and other infrastructure facilities were identified by the expert panel as a critical issue during the relief stage in some countries, such as Sri Lanka. Evacuation sites had not been properly evaluated for their suitability, resulting in the lack of basic amenities such as power, proper sanitation facilities, and access to water. In addition, some sites were improperly located in ecologically sensitive areas such as elephant corridors.
