GIS and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis for Land Use Resource Planning

land use change modeling using multi-criteria decision analysis and gis

in recent decades, as a result of population growth, industrial developments, scarcity of sources, etc. more attention has been paid to spatial planning. spatial planning needs the consideration of different goals, scenarios, criterions and constraints, which leads us to the usage of spatial multi-criteria decision analysis (mcda) methods. the mail goal of this research is to develop a novel mo...

GIS-based multi-criteria analysis for land use suitability assessment in City of Regina

Background: Land use suitability assessment is a key factor in any urban and suburban planning and decision-making processes. The assessment is evaluated by a series of criteria involving socio-economic needs. To deal with the conflicting, disproportionate and multiple criteria, land usage will be characterized with respect to the preferences and importance. Meanwhile, many spatial decision pro...

INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS FOR MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...

Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support System DECERNS: Application to Land Use Planning

Land-use planning and environmental management often requires an implementation of both geospatial information analysis and value-driven criteria within the decision-making process. DECERNS (Decision Evaluation in Complex Risk Network Systems) is a web-based distributed decision support system for multi-criteria analysis of a wide range of spatially-explicit land management alternatives. It int...
