Industrial State Site Selection Using MCDM Method and GIS in Germi, Ardabil, Iran

Abstract

The industrial state site selection for urban and industrial equipment's establishment is tied to some limiting and strengthening factors. Increasingly, the relationships between environmental concerns and industrial, social and political affairs as well as rapid growth of the potential changes rise up regional and local system's complexity. The conditions of different areas in our country indicate that we should consider environmental planning topics more than previous. There are different methods for site selection however using multicriteria methods are more preferred. In this study we investigated about the second industrial area's site selection in Germi where is located in the Ardebil province, in Iran. Totally seven criteria including average annual temperature, slope, water resources, roads, landuse, residential areas and geological fault, were mapped using Arc GIS 9.3. Meanwhile we used Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) for map's weighting. The preferred areas were located after field work and software analysis and considering economic, social and environmental conditions such as land ownership value and access. Based on infrastructural facilities existence and short distance to Germi city, the first preference was selected. 

Industrial park land capability assessment and post-evaluation in Markazi province

“…GIS-based MCDM is a fast and cost-effective method for industrial site selection purposes. There are diverse studies that verify the benefits of MCDM methods in the GIS environment for industrial site selection purposes (Ramaya and Devadas, 2019;Cunden et al, 2020;Saraswat et al, 2021, Sun et al, 2021Caner and Aydin, 2021), especially in Iran, notably Reisi et al (2011), Masoudi and Jokar (2015), Fataei et al (2015), Amini (2015), Arabsheibani et al (2016), Ahmadipari et al (2018), Kishani Farahani (2018, Salari et al (2019), andMoradi et al (2020). The difference of this study with other research has been its comprehensiveness and integrity of information, in so that, it has made the effort to use the most effective data in the field.…”

GIS-Based Multi-Criteria and Multi-Objective Evaluation for Sustainable Land-Use Planning (Case Study: Qaleh Ganj County, Iran) “Landuse Planning Using MCE and Mola”

“…Surprisingly, through searching the scientific literature we found few publications on the zoning of terrestrial environments for multiple land uses using MOLA (Fataei and Mohammadian 2015;Hajehforooshnia et al 2011;Mehri et al 2018;Mahmoodzadeh et al 2019;Shaygan et al 2013;Sitko and Scheer 2019) which focus mainly on the natural environment or protected areas but not on the mixed environment of urban and natural areas (peri-urban to rural) land-use planning. The integration of MCE with GIS and MOLA has significantly advanced conventional map overlay approaches (Zhang et al 2013).…”

Gis-Based Multi Criteria Model for Location of Rice Aggregation Centers in Anambra State

“…Synergistic effect, generated by combining these tools contribute to the efficiency and quality of spatial analysis for industrial site selection [13,14]. One of the main problem of facility selection is that it requires a lot of time for decision making, because of the number of factors to be considered for quality analysis [15,16]. To speed up decision process, it is necessary to develop a model for decision making that is optimized and adapted for a site selection problem such as this.…”
