“…The accessibility index has been calculated through spatial analysis integrated with a multicriteria evaluation method [20,55,56,77,78]. New contributions are presented each time they are applied, either by the unique nature of each area or by the way the decision criteria are incorporated and analyzed in the GIS [57][58][59]79].…”

A Spatial Fuzzy Multicriteria Analysis of Accessibility: A Case Study in Brazil

Accessibility is a well-established concept in sustainable transportation literature; however, it is often measured through accessibility models that are still being developed. This article presents an accessibility evaluation model that applies multiple attributes, fuzzy functions, and spatial analysis tools. The model determines indices that reflect an average level of attractiveness for each potential destination (deemed a location of interest-LI). Each destination has different weights based on its degree of importance. Moreover, the model was developed in two phases: The first considered cost-distance metrics, and the second incorporated ground friction factors. The application of the model provides great contribution to the region under study (Campos do Jordão, a city located in a mountainous region of the state of São Paulo), thus presenting some implications for sustainable urban planning and mobility policies, especially in segregated areas with mixed inhabitant populations between tourists and local residents. The results have shown that special attention should be paid to planning new school facilities and city transportation systems. Most of these services are currently concentrated in the city's downtown area, making access to urban facilities inefficient and unfair. Using the results in urban projects, the allocation of future urban facilities or the reallocation of current urban facilities contributes to reduced impacts on urban mobility caused by individual motorized transportation in daily activities.increasing quality of life as well as sustainable development, while also influencing the relationship of the spatial position of the dwelling in relation to the opportunities. The ability, quantity, and diversity of possibilities to access activities, services, places, information, and other people is an essential issue in the quality of urban space, serving as a counterpoint to the fragmentation and dispersion found in many contemporary cities [3].The value of accessibility as an integrative device, particularly in its ability to establish a connection between transportation and land use, has recently gained ground in institutions that can effectively wield it as a planning tool [4,5]. Murawskia and Church [6] introduced a model that can be used to maximize access to health facilities by making selected improvements to the road system. Paez et al. [7] illustrated how positive and normative accessibility indicators can be used in tandem, testing the extent to which the behavioral experiences of individuals conform to an existing policy or suggested norm. The pedestrian scale accessibility was studied by Foti and Waddell [8] through a hierarchical graph of tradeoffs between modes and integration of micro-scale land-use data to measure the full range of alternative destinations in the city. Campbell et al. [9] showed that place-based accessibility is comparatively better in contour and gravity measures. However, the wealthiest areas have very low levels of place-based accessibility for all modes, whi...

“…GIS-based Multicriteria Analysis can be thought of as a collection of methods and tools for transforming and combining spatial data and preferences (value judgments) to obtain information for decision-making [39,41,[57][58][59]. When other tools were combined, such as fuzzy set, the model became even more robust [60][61][62].…”

“…Sustainable landfill sites were successfully found by using the MACBETH method (Demesouka et al 2016) and AHP method (Aksoy and San 2017). In addition, the AHP method was also used to identify a thermal power plant site (Siefi et al 2017), solar power potential locations (Aly et al 2017), offshore wind and wave energy sites (Vasileo et al 2017), and transmission tower locations (Veronesi et al 2017).…”

A GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis approach for public school site selection in Surabaya, Indonesia

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Surabaya is one of the old cities of Indonesia and has been inhabited since the Colonial era. It has been continuously growing until today leading to expansion of its area to the south, east, and west. Unfortunately, it has not been supported by the addition of new public schools, particularly at the secondary and high school levels. This research aimed to help the government by determining the suitability level of the whole area of the city for locating a new school and for evaluating current school locations. This research proposed six spatial factors: administration, population, transportation, land-use, student flow, and public preferences. Each factor was represented as raster file built from primary and secondary tabular and spatial data. Each factor then was weighted from the multi-criteria decision analysis step using the analytical hierarchy process method. The results show recommended and non-recommended areas in Surabaya for locating a new school building. This research integrated GIS analysis, web-GIS application, public participation, and MCDA to identify the best solution for this case.

“…É um problema complexo e interdisciplinar, que envolve vários atores e fatores conflitantes. As metodologias de decisão que envolvem múltiplos critérios (Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis -mcda) são adequadas para a modelagem deste tipo de problema, permitindo a estruturação sistemática que facilita a tomada de decisão (Dragićević, Lai & Balram, 2015;Jelokhani-Niaraki & Malczewski, 2015;Malczewski & Jackson, 2000;Veronesi, Schito, Grassi & Raubal, 2017). Quando outras ferramentas são combinadas, tais como Sistemas de Informação Geográfica e lógica fuzzy, o modelo se torna ainda mais robusto (Vahdat, Smith & Amiri, 2014;Wang, Duanmu, Lahdelma & Li, 2018).…”

Foi desenvolvido um modelo de avaliação espacial multicritério, que posteriormente foi aplicado e validado na cidade de Itajubá-mg, Brasil. O trabalho incorporou, ainda, o uso de Funções Fuzzy, possibilitando a normalização e agregação de critérios qualitativos e quantitativos no Sistema de Informação Geográfica (sig). Como resultado, mapas com índices de prioridades mostraram áreas importantes para receber os projetos de revitalização e mobilidade e urbana, indicando que existem trechos contínuos na região central da área de estudo, o que possibilita a sua implementação. O modelo pode auxiliar os tomadores de decisão a justificar investimentos em áreas prioritárias diante a inconveniente limitação de recursos, visando sempre melhorias na qualidade de vida da população. palavras chave | desenvolvimento sustentável, gestão urbana, mobilidade. abstract | The objective of this work is to develop a prioritization model of urban areas for integrated revitalization and sustainable mobility projects, based on the principles of Transit Oriented Development (tod).A spatial multicriteria evaluation model was developed, which was later applied and validated in Itajubá City, Brazil.

The maps with priority indexes showed important areas to receive revitalization and mobility and urban projects, indicating that there are continuous parts in the central region of the study area, which enables their implementation.
