Assessment of Neotectonic Landscape Deformation in Evia Island, Greece, Using GIS-Based Multi-Criteria Analysis

This study deals with the assessment and mapping of neotectonic landscape deformation in northern part Evia Island (Central Greece). Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) utilizing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) procedures were conducted for calculation Neotectonic Landscape Deformation Index (NLDI). The is based on combination morphotectonic, geomorphological geological parameters. GIS-based spatial MCDA led to classification area into five classes (from very low high) a map. results compared outputs relative tectonic activity approach quantitative geomorphic analysis at regional scale, including site-specific field observations. Areas high are related major active faults Dirfis, Kandili Gregolimano–Telethrio. Other minor normal medium seismic risk level, affecting northeastern parts island, also associated areas intense deformation.
