Evaluating Multi-Objective Land Use Planning Tools Using Soft Systems Methods

چکیده
This paper presents a soft systems evaluation of two multi-objective genetic algorithms (mGAs) applied to land use planning. These mGAs search for a set of alternative solutions de ning the structure of the relationship between two or more objectives. To investigate the usefulness of the mGAs for decision support the sets of solutions found by the mGAs are compared with allocations made by professional land managers, with a range of backgrounds, for a real world application. Conclusions are drawn on the di erences between the solutions found by the land managers and the mGAs, in particular the constraints that limit the range of plans considered acceptable.

Using soft-systems methods to evaluate the outputs from multi-objective land use planning tools
Land managers are increasingly faced with complex decisions requiring the consideration of tradeoffs between multiple, non-commensurable objectives. Such decisions have profound effects on the financial, social and environmental sustainability of land use systems. One approach to assisting land managers with these decisions has been the development of computer-based decision support systems (DS...

متن کاملA soft computing logic method for agricultural land suitability evaluation
There is a need for expanding agricultural lands due to increased demand for food production and security. Some regions can convert available land to agricultural land use. In order to evaluate available land for future agricultural production, multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods can be used to identify the land suitability. This study proposes and implements the soft computing logic and Lo...
