Optimizing a biomass facility site is a critical concern that is currently receiving an increased attention because of geographically spread biomass feedstock. This research presents a multicriteria GIS assessment with Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) (most suitable areas) and a sensitivity analysis (implementation strategies) applied to various disciplines using suitable criteria to optimize ...

Remote sensing and GIS (geographical information systems) are very important methods for assessment of changes and development of ecosystems in the landscape level. This article deals with applying of remote sensing and GIS methods to assessment of ecosystems in agricultural landscape in the Horňácko region, extending to the White Carpathians Mountains Protected Landscape Area (Czech Republic)....

sustainability is a concept that emphasizes substantially on investments conservation (natural, social and economic) toward intra-generation equity. when sustainable development is achieved an overlapping is created between ecological, economic and social classes. the goal of this study is to measure and evaluate watershed sustainability. in order to evaluate sustainability in zidasht basin 1, ...

in the process of investment decision making, next to financial indicators many other aspects of investment projects are increasingly often considered. this leads to the multi-criteria evaluation of a project. the advantage of multi-criteria methods is the ability to take into account all (not only financial) aspects of the attractiveness of an investment project. the selection of criteria of p...

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issues related to hydrogen energy usually involve weight consideration of evaluation criteria, ambiguous information provided by experts, and lacking or incomplete information. Conventionally, the MCDM calculation method cannot effectively simultaneously process To address this issue, study proposed a novel general data envelopment analysis (DEA)-based appr...

In this paper we describe the application of analogical structure matching techniques to the domain of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Automatic categorisation of map data into roads, buildings etc. is currently based on isolated objects. We describe how identifying analogous clusters of objects can categorise ambiguous polygons by introducing context into the categorisation process. We d...

In the contemporary literature on sustainability, one can notice an increasingly frequent use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods instead classic sustainability indices. The MCDA method should be tailored to specific problem and decision situation so that its results are credible satisfactory for decision-maker. Therefore, following research questions arise: (1) which most often ...
