“…However, the method is not without its limitations. The main difficulty lies in defining the class limits of the factors and the weights assigned to the various factors used in the GIS (Kisiki et al, 2022, Faye et al, 2021. It should be noted that these limitations should not be seen as tangible barriers to the validity of the method.…”

The objective of this study is to identify and map potential groundwater resource areas in the rural commune of Loumbila in order to assess the potential water accessibility in the area. A spatial data analysis was applied to identify potential groundwater resource areas for drilling. To this end, geomatics tools (Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing) and a multi-criteria analysis using the Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique were deployed. A total of eight (decision) factors with a strong influence on the groundwater storage potential (i.e., soil types, fracture network density, land use, slope, hydrogeology, alterity thickness and drainage density, precipitation) were selected and mapped. An appropriate weight has been assigned to each factor, which were further normalized using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on the analysis, the rural commune of Loumbila was qualitatively classified into five groundwater potential zones: very low, low, medium, high and very high groundwater potential. The results obtained show that 9.80% (14.75 km2), 22.02% (33.16 km2), 30.68% (46.19 km2), 18.47% (27.81 km2) and 19.03% (28.65 km2) of the rural municipality of Loumbila have very high, high, medium, low and very low groundwater potential, respectively. The groundwater potential mapping aims to identify the areas with the highest potential for the sustainable management of groundwater resources, enabling informed decisions to be taken for its management and conservation.

“…Tamesgen et al [ 24 ] presented the GWP analysis with nine geo-environmental parameters through Ethiopia's RS/GIS-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach. Kisiki et al [ 25 ]used geospatial and RS data to define the groundwater recharge zones through the GWP evaluation. They then performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of hydrologic and geological factors on their variations.…”

Various countries of the world endeavor to achieve a new paradigm of sustainability by preserving their heritage and history and avoid the risk of old process preservation. Therefore, this article adopts several concepts for investigating heritage areas and then builds a model based on spatial analysis using GIS. So, the main problem this article addresses is that planning does not rely on appropriate mechanisms for preserving the heritage area of Al-Nasiriyah in Dhi-Qar Governorate, Iraq, which has resulted in erosion and destruction of that area. Consequently, the article aims to determine the optimal process for the rehabilitation to the heritage city center, using spatial analysis mechanisms and to achieve urban sustainability. To do this, the article first discusses various countries' experiences in the field of heritage conservation to understand successful principles for implementing the new sustainable paradigm. Subsequently, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to calibrate and assign weights to the analysis mechanism. This process is based on the most prominent elements that depend on land uses and necessary services in the spatial analysis. After analyzing eight indicators, a consistency ratio of 0.47 was obtained, which is the acceptable excitation range in AHP standards. Finally, the study built a model in GIS to determine the most suitable area for the development of any city with the same condition. Therefore, the spatial analysis and model process identified Zones 2 and 3 as the most suitable for development, with Zone 4 being the optimal choice according to the MCDM analysis to be selected as the first area for development. Thus, this can limit the process of erosion of the urban heritage fabric due to the encroachment of commercial use and the rise in the value of achieving cultural sustainability.
