Environmental Planning for Wind Power Plant Site Selection using a Fuzzy PROMETHEE-Based Outranking Method in Geographical Information System

A geographic information system for gas power plant location using analytical hierarchy process and fuzzy logic

This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

Fuzzy Outranking Methods Including Fuzzy PROMETHEE

The notion of comparatively positioning objects with respect to each other is commonly called ranking. With respect to databases, the ranking issue is closely associated with data retrieval. Yu, Hwang, and Chang (2007) highlight that with the myriad of databases situated online, retrieving relevant data is problematic; in reality it becomes an online ranking problem (Chaudhuri, Das, Hristidis, ...

Decision support system (DSS) for site selection floodwater spreading schemes using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS)

GIS-Based Multi Criteria Evaluation for Thermal Power Plant Site Selection in Kahnuj County, SE Iran

Choosing a location for a power plant site is a complex task that involves evaluation of multiple factors, which should satisfy a number of economic and environmental requirements. The main aim of this study is to determine the best possible candidates for thermal power plant sites using Multi-criteria Evaluation and Geographic Information System (GIS) in Kahnuj County in the southeast of Iran....

An integrated environmental management approach to industrial site selection by genetic algorithm and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process in geographical information system

Environmental planning and management can have positive effects on development of some land uses including industrial areas that have a major effect on economic, social and environmental conditions. Considering the most important problems associated with modeling, the fundamental methods and functions of site-selection laid inside the geographical information system are not accounted for the mu...

Multi Criteria Supplier Selection Using Fuzzy PROMETHEE Method

The fundamental objective of supply chain management (SCM) is to integrate various suppliers to satisfy market demand. Supplier evaluation and selection is very important for establishing an effective supply chain. As a matter of fact, supplier selection consists of both qualitative and quantitative criteria, so it is considered as a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Under incomple...
