“…GIS multicriteria analysis is widely used in site selection exercises, for example, wind farm site selection [168,169], agro-industrial complex [170], industrial site selection [171], parking site selection [172], investment site selection [173], landfill site selection [174] or for the detection of land use suitability for example in urban extension [175][176][177], citrus management [178], agricultural land use [179], land management [180,181], for biomass residues [182], and rainfed farming [183]. GIS multicriteria analysis is very useful technique in hazard mapping such as multi hazard mapping of landslides, floods and earthquakes [184], forest hazards [185], hazards in site selection [186], and forest fire risk [187] also in socio-economic fields to analyse deprivation [188], urban water demands [189], climate change [190], forest landscape restoration preferences [191], or to map zones in groundwater recharge [192], landslide hazard zonation [193,194], protected area zoning [195], or to create multi objective land allocation [196][197][198][199][200].…”

The increase in geoheritage studies has secured recognition globally regarding the importance of abiotic natural features. Prominent in geoheritage screening practices follows a multicriteria assessment framework; however, the complexity of interest in values often causes decision making to overlook geoeducation, one of the primary facets of geosystem services. Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand stretches through the whole area of metropolitan Auckland, which helps preserve volcanic cones and their cultural heritage around its central business district (CBD). They are important sites for developing tourist activities. Geoeducation is becoming a significant factor for tourists and others visiting geomorphological features, but it cannot be achieved without sound planning. This paper investigates the use of big data (FlickR), Geopreservation Inventory, and Geographic Information System for identifying geoeducation capacity of tourist attractions. Through landform classification using the Topographic Position Index and integrated with geological and the inventory data, the underpromoted important geoeducation sites can be mapped and added to the spatial database Auckland Council uses for urban planning. The use of the Geoeducation Capacity Map can help resolve conflicts between the multiple objectives that a bicultural, metropolitan city council need to tackle in the planning of upgrading open spaces while battling of growing demand for land.

“…The historical function of this register, involving the use of its data for land taxation purposes (Buśko & Meusz, 2014; Malme & Youngman, 2001), is currently one of the many issues requiring knowledge of the characteristics of parcels, which are considered to be primary objects of the cadastre. Real estate valuation, agricultural and spatial planning, land consolidation and exchange, assessment of direct farming subsidies from European Union funds, or design and implementation of construction plans are just a few examples of procedures where the parcel area plays an important role (Deininger & Ali, 2008; Gallent & Shaw, 2007; Leń, 2018; Siejka, 2017). The use of this spatial information is extensive.…”

The most important spatial attributes of any cadastral parcel are the coordinates of its boundary points, which define the extent of property rights. The derivative of the boundaries is the area of the parcel, which, in Poland, is determined based on the coordinates of the boundary points satisfying certain conditions. It is essential that the data entered into the real estate cadastre describing the areas of the parcels are of sufficiently high quality. For this reason, the authors of this research paper propose a three‐stage assessment of the quality of the area of cadastral parcels. The first stage involves analysis of the standardised values of selected attributes of the boundary points entered into the cadastral database, describing the accuracy of their position, the source of data capture, and the monumentation method. This forms the basis for evaluating the quality level of individual boundary points throughout the entire study area. Taking the geometry of the parcel into account, this information is used to determine the quality of the data on the areas of individual parcels, which forms the second stage of the analysis. The third and final stage consists in determining the global coefficient for the quality of areas of parcels in the study area. Such an approach provides a wide range of possibilities, both for carrying out unit control procedures and for comparing the quality of spatial data on parcel areas between individual cadastral districts or areas with a specific land use. The results of the analyses carried out on the research objects, i.e., on two cadastral districts located in southern Poland, have confirmed that the proposed method may also prove useful for other purposes. It is also a universal tool that can be adapted for use in other countries.

“…For this reason, extensive research is being carried out in order to develop methods for identifying the best locations for the construction of such infrastructure. Therefore, the analyses carried out for these purposes need to take into account not only technical factors, but also those affecting the state of the natural environment and, consequently, the inhabitants' health and lives [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Technical factors concern the assessment of localization possibilities in terms of geological conditions, access to heat and energy distribution networks in order to use the recovered energy in an optimal way, and access to main roads ISPRS Int.…”

The purpose of the paper is to use the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the prioritization of areas designated for infrastructure investments. The research was carried out using an example of a municipal solid waste incineration plant in Kraków. Based on research tests conducted on actual field data, this paper proves that spatial information systems can be a useful source of information in decision-making processes related to the assessment of the location of an investment project with a function so important for the natural environment and maintaining the principle of sustainable development. Owing to the development of technologies such as remote sensing and GIS, the obtained data are of high quality, and the possibility for processing and making them available in real time makes them up to date. The research methodology for selecting areas for a well-defined purpose includes five separate stages: Defining the parameters, acquiring data from spatial information systems, data standardization, criteria weighting by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), calculation of the coefficient of area suitability for the location of a particular facility, and its graphic representation on a map. The final result is the ranking of areas in terms of suitability for the implementation of an infrastructural project i.e., the construction of a municipal waste incineration plant.
