the revival of chalcolithic sites have a particular importance in tracing the settlement patterns of the region, in the aegis of special biological features and replacing in environmental elements. by depicting the special features, the characteristics of plain of hamedan and its strength in northern plain (kaboodarhang) must be hinted. this plain is determined as a joint fund between central z...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely used in different domains of applications, such as maritime navigation, museums visits and route planning, as well as ecological, demographical and economical applications. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated and adapted GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to get quick access to relevant information and to analyze data with respect to g...

GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) provides a rich collection of techniques and procedures for landslide susceptibility mapping. In this study landslide susceptibility was evaluated by applying different analytical GIS techniques based on Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) criteria. The OWA-MCDA is complemented by a Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and a Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST)...

Present analytical functions and conventional cartographic modeling techniques in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are based on Boolean logic, which implicitly assumes that objects in a spadal database and their attributes can be uniquely defined. The inherent constraint of the classical set theory does not allow for partial set membership conditions and imprecise information in GIS. The in...

Nacrtak Sound development of forest infrastructure represents the backbone for sustainable forest management. However, planning forest roads, which nowadays must fulfill multiple conflicting objectives, is not an easy task. A GIS based model was developed for supporting decision making in forest road engineering. The tool allowed assessment of forest infrastructure scenarios based on multiple c...

Strategic models identify areas of development opportunity and constraints for long term management strategies. A GIS based environmental decision support system for solid waste management under Indian socio-economic and regulatory conditions has been developed. For selection for primary landfill site selection using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) has been used to give weights to different ...
