Road infrastructure projects have proven to be a challenging task, particularly in a dynamic setting, such as mountains and hillsides. Such an endeavour entails the integration and processing of cross-disciplinary research, particularly engineering and geosciences. Our study is oriented towards the geographic aspects, specifically the ones involving applied geomorphology. We aim to provide a cartographic solution that reveals the areas suitable for developing a road network, based on a geomorphologic and environmental approach. This is achieved through a GIS-based multi-criteria analysis involving raster data sets of different geodynamic factors, such as geology, pedology, gravitational processes, land use and other environmental components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
