Assessment and Comparison the Location of Six Universities in Tehran City Using GIS and Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 held in Baku on 04-07, September 2018. EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 is a candidate of one of the most important event in the scientific schedule and tenders a possibility for researchers and academicians who researches on GIS and related disciplines. You can find a first class programme of plenary speakers, technical sessions, exhibitions and social events in this book. You will be able to catch up with the developments in Geographical Information Sciences, Information Technology, Environmental Management and Resources, Sustainable Agriculture, Surveying, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, meet friends and experience the traditional and fascinating culture of AZERBAIJAN. As a international congress in the field of geo-spatial information and remote sensing, EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 is devoted to promote the advancement of knowledge, research, development, education and training in Geographical Information Sciences, Information Technology, Environmental Management and Resources, Sustainable Agriculture, Surveying, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, their integration and applications, as to contribute to the well-being of humanity and the sustainability of the environment. The EURASIAN GIS Congress 2018 will provide us an opportunity to examine the challenges facing us, discuss how to support Future Earth with global geo-information, and formulate the future research agenda. 150 scientists from 13 countries attended to the congress. 7 plenary speakers, 120 oral presentations and 8 poster presentations, all together with 135 in total, are presented during the congress. 135 presentations take place in 21 sessions in three days. Mohammadi & Hosseinali (2019) presented in the organization was selected for publication in IJEGEO 6(1) as Short Communication.

Multi-Criteria Selection of Suitable Institutional Solid Waste Collection Sites: A Case of KNUST Campus, Kumasi, Ghana

“…The GIS tool is used to manipulate and present spatial data, while the AHP is used to rank potential areas based on a wide variety of criteria, including hydro-geology, land use and proximity from urban centers (Al-Jarrah and Abu-Qdais, 2006;Khorrami̇ et al, 2018). Several researches have been conducted with the use of this same approach for site selection especially for landfills, transfer stations and other waste management facilities but none of such has been conducted in an institutional setting for receptacles placement (Şener et al, 2010;Feizizadeh and Blaschke, 2013;Gorsevski et al, 2012;Direk et al, 2012;Bosompem et al, 2016;Vaghela et al, 2018;Büyüksalih et al, 2019;Mohammadi and Hosseinali, 2019;Ji̇moh et al, 2019).…”

Geospatial Evaluation of Wind Energy Potential in the South-East and South-South Sections of Nigeria

“…A multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model, proposed based on geospatial technology is being applied in this research. This is due to its versatility and extensive application in renewable energy research especially in acquiring, integrating a myriad of datasets, processing and presenting spatially referenced datasets such as the wind speed (Van Hoesen and Letendre, 2010;Latinopoulos and Kechagia, 2015;Nematollahi et al, 2016;Cevallos-Sierra and Ramos-Martin, 2018;Vaghela et al, 2018;Mohahhadi and Hosseinali, 2019). Remote sensing datasets at both ground and space platforms were acquired processed and presented as geographic Information (GIS) outputs.…”

Highway Route Planning via Least Cost Path Algorithm and Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Integration, a Comparison of AHP, TOPSIS and VIKOR

“…The transportation systems have an importance that can accelerate the development of a country with its economic contributes. There is a very close relation between the transportation system of a city and its economic and social status (Vaghela et al, 2018;Mohammadı andHosseınalı, 2019Tanga andWaters, 2005). Thus, the analysis and planning of highways in developing cities are very important in the field of economic, social, and environmental parameters (Black, 2003).…”
