Vulnerability Hotspots Mapping for Enhancing Sanitation Services Provision: A Case Study of Jordan

Enhancing sanitation services is a major challenge for sustainable development and plans. This work aims at developing vulnerability hotspot mapping improving provision in Jordan based on multi-weighted criteria model. Multiple spatial, physical, demographic, social, economic, data were collected compiled using GIS. We also considered experts’ stakeholders’ opinions to determine the necessary indicators needed develop Sanitation Hotspot Index (SHI). used Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis assign relative weights of ten criteria. checked consistency AHP results. found that population density got highest weights, while soil hydraulic conductivity lowest. Based results AHP, we developed two SHI administrative levels: district neighborhood levels. The maps classified into five classes ranging from most vulnerable least vulnerable. can be as decision support tool decision-makers planners allocate funds orient aids donors international agencies enhance country’s areas.
