Due to its consistent availability, acceptable natural quality, and ease of direct diversion the underprivileged population, groundwater is a vital source water supply. It can also be transported there more swiftly inexpensively. Exploring potential zones (GWPZs) maps therefore essential, especially in semi-arid environments with insufficient surface supplies. The research area assessed using g...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

according to the limit of resources in the subject of prioritization, one of the alternative methods is mcdm method. generally, mcdm models have been developed under certainty while we confront with under uncertainty in real world. in hierarchical mcdm methods, one of the main steps is to weigh criteria and computes each alternative weight using defined criteria in the next steps. one of the ea...

The research aims by presenting one of the quantitative methods, which is Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), and its impact on evaluating investment projects comparing them, developing an effective mechanism to rationalize decision-making, most important complex types decisions risky due future strategic dimensions length period, so it must be dealt with These are more objective not limited...

the environmental problems, in different dimensions, are resulted from the lack of environmental considerations and criteria in locating new cities. the main purpose of this article is to compare different criteria based on library studies and expert opinions and determining suitable criteria in order to evaluate the environmental potential to establish new cities to achieve urban permanent dev...

the ahp/dea methodology is an integration of analytical hierarchical process (ahp) and data envelopment analysis. this method uses the capabilities of both ahp and dea. however, it has some problems: it illogically compares two decision-making units in a data envelopment analysis (dea) model, it is not compatible with dea ranking in the case of multiple inputs/multiple outputs, and it leads to ...

GIS multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly being used in landslide susceptibility mapping for the prediction of future hazards, decision making, as well as hazard mitigation plans. However, the uncertainties associated with MCDA techniques are inevitable and model outcomes are prone to multiple types of uncertainty. In this paper, the spatiality explicitly method is emp...
