Combining Fuzzy AHP with GIS and Decision Rules for Industrial Site Selection

This study combines Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Decision rules to provide decision makers with a ranking model for industrial sites in Algeria. A ranking of the suitable industrial areas is a crucial multi-criteria decision problem based on socio-economical and technical criteria as on environmental considerations. Fuzzy AHP is used for assessment of the candidate industrial sites by combining fuzzy set theory and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The decision rule base serves as a filter that performs criteria pre-treatment involving a reduction of their numbers. GIS is used to overlay, generate criteria maps and for visualizing ranked zones on the map. The rank of a zone so obtained is an index that guides decision-makers to the best utilization of the zone in future

GIS-based Multi-Criteria Analysis and if… then… rules for ranking industrial zones

Poster Papers of ISCRAM-Med 2016 - Third International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management in Mediterranean Countries. October 26-28, 2016. Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain)The approach proposed in this article allows, from a study of geographic, environmental and socio-economic criteria, to cooperate If Then rules, Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) and geographic information system (GIS) for spatial choosing of the right site for installing industrial projects. The result obtained by IAHP (Intelligent Analytic Hierarchic Process) for ranking industrial zones in Algeria is refined by a viewing GIS-IZ (Geographic Information System for Industrial Zones). The IAHP unit ranks industrial zones using AHP after reduction of judgment criteria by If… then… rules and GIS-IZ module to the visualization of these zones on the map. The system was designed for the evaluation of a new methodology of multi-criteria analysis guided by data mining. Only the Spatial Decision Making Support System (SDMSS) is presented here
