Groundwater depletion is one of the most critical concerns for users and policymakers. Identifying groundwater potential (low to high) helps properly plan available resource. This study has used possibilities a geographical information system (GIS), remote sensing and, course, field data delineate zones in Chennai River Basin (CRB). Thematic layers generated eleven controlling factors, such as ...

This paper explores the applicability and capability of solving site location problems using an integrated approach that includes the Markov-chain based Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm, Geographic Information System (GIS), fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evaluation of Mixed Data (EVAMIX). The novelty of the proposed methodology is its capability to combine the flexibility of fuz...

Jingjinji area (namely Beijing, Tianjin and He Bei Province) is one of the three largest regional economic communities in China. Urban expansion has sped up in the past 20 years in this area due to the rapid economic and population growth. Evaluating the landuse suitability for urban growth on a regional scale is an urgent need, because the most suitable areas and the most suitable scale of urb...

We present a reproducible method to analyze the state of software development practices in a given scientific domain and apply this method to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The analysis is based on grading a set of 30 GIS products using a template of 56 questions based on 13 software qualities. The products range in scope and purpose from a complete desktop GIS systems, to stand-alone to...

Kelantan has been facing several cases of catastrophic flooding, causing significant damage to this area. Heavy monsoon rainfall is believed trigger those floods. This study aims identify and classify the flood occurrence using River catchment’s hazard index (FHI) based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP). developed FHI AHP spatial analysis in geographic information system (GIS) environment. ...

Abstract In this study, the coupling of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and geographical information system (GIS) was used to assess flood hazards. Spatial analysis in GIS environment has been applied for estimation hazard zones which five relevant physical factors have selected, namely rainfall amount, slope, elevation, drainage density, land use. The amount use are subjected changes over a...

Mapping of potential flood hazards is an important element in ensuring proper planning development and implementing disaster mitigation efforts for flooded areas. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the regional-scale hazard areas Gorontalo District using AHP-GIS integration technique with focus on factors such as annual rainfall, elevation, slope, soil type, distance water bodies, la...

Analysis of land-use suitability requires consideration of variety of criteria. Application of GIS alone could not overcome the issue of inconsistency in expert opinion when trying to judge and assign relative importance to each of many criteria considered in a suitability analysis. To address this issue, the Analytical Hierarchy Process method is used in combination with the GIS tool. The pape...
