Application of GIS and MCDM on Natural Environment Effect toward the Durability of Water pipe: A Conceptual Study

Abstract Utility is considered as one of the most important systems in all countries. A structured network defined a comprising specific components and subsystems. Leakage water pipes common problem around world. It understood that valuable resource to living things. The aim this study estimate durability pipe based on natural environment factor Selangor, Malaysia. There are several proposed objectives listed such identify parameters affect pipe, develop GIS modelling predict pipelines generate pipeline prediction maps area. criteria temperature, soil moisture, type, acidity, resistivity, landuse slope were selected from expert opinion also previous study. method used Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) GIS. AHP technique calculate weightage for each criteria. In study, map mildsteel waterpipe estimation can be produced using ArcGIS.
