Land suitability analysis for urban development using TOPSIS, WLC and ANP techniques (Eastern cities of Gilan-Iran)

Land suitability mapping using GIS‐based ANP for residential zoning: Case research from central Iran

“…Various environmental, social, economic, utility, and physical factors were used to generate a final land suitability map—inclusive of elevation, slope, soil texture, population density, land cover, distance to roads, highways, railways, powerlines, streams, industrial, residential, commercial, and educational areas—to demonstrate these findings. There are diverse studies that explore the benefits of MCDA methods in the GIS environment for urban and residential land suitability and development purposes (Aburas et al., 2017; Chandio, Matori, Lawal, & Sabri, 2011; Das, Lee, Wong, Tang, & Aziz, 2021; El Baroudy, 2016; Huang, Li, & Zhang, 2019; Jahangeer, Showkat, & Sultan Bhat, 2018; Luan et al., 2021; Malmir et al., 2016; Park et al., 2011; Qiu et al., 2017; Santosh, Krishnaiah, & Deshbhandari, 2018; Ullah & Mansourian, 2014; Zhang et al., 2013), particularly in Iran (Aliani, Ghanbari‐Motlagh, Danesh, & Aliani, 2021; Feizizadeh & Blaschke, 2013; Ghorbani, Mahmoodzadeh, & Taghipour, 2013; Malmir et al., 2016; Memarbashi et al., 2017; Saeedavi, Khalili‐Moghadam, Bagheri‐Bodaghabadi, & Rangzan, 2017), but seldom are they used for assessing current and post‐development investigations.…”

Land suitability analysis of urban agriculture for different investment scenarios: Evidence from fuzhou of China

“…How to select an ecologically suitable, easily accessible and potentially investable urban site as a pilot site for urban agriculture is of great importance [ 24 ]. Methods used in previous studies to assess the suitability of urban agriculture include the Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), the Analytic Hierarchy Proce (AHP), the Geographic Information System (GIS), and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), etc [ 11 , 19 , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ]. The suitability evaluation of urban agriculture needs to consider a variety of influencing factors, and MCDA is widely used as a mainstream research method.…”

“…Another complement to the suitability evaluation method is the ranking method. Ranking the evaluation options can help decision makers choose [ 32 ]. In 1981, Hwang and Yoon [ 33 ] proposed the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for the first time to rank alternative decision points.…”

Integration of ANP and TOPSIS Methods in Prioritizing Sales Strategies for Frozen Food Products

“…The Company's business development is a policy that needs to be carefully considered. With the study of this marketing strategy, an investment picture and future business projections can be obtained [11]. This marketing strategy is one step in determining the best alternative to be chosen so that the marketing techniques carried out by the Company are correctly on target and can compete.…”

“…In the TOPSIS method, the most optimal option is the one closest to the positive ideal solution and the one farthest from the negative ideal solution. Therefore, TOPSIS was chosen as the best alternative selection method of criteria [11].…”
