“…Penentuan lahan atau lokasi yang sesuai untuk pertumbuhan perkotaan di wilayah marginal berdekatan dengan pembangunan berskala besar merupakan salah satu isu kritis dalam perencanaan kota (Aburas et al, 2017). Isu kritis tersebut antara lain adalah lokasi permukiman dimana sebagai unsur utama dan mencakup persentase yang jauh lebih besar dibandingkan dengan jenis penggunaan lahan lainnya serta sektor permukiman memegang peran penting dalam perekonomian nasional dan merupakan unsur dari kebijakan sosial nasional (Susanti, et al, 2016, Catanese & Snyder, 1998.…”

The increase and spread of population between regions always have an impact on settlements, whereby settlements require a land while land in a city has many activities, and it is limited. This limited potential settlement lands greatly influence the direction of the population in finding a place to settle. This study aims to study on potential settlement land in Semarang City. The methods used are quantitative descriptive and spatial descriptive that consist of settlement land suitability analysis (overlaying and weighting), potential settlement land analysis (buffering, overlaying and weighting), population growth analysis, settlement carrying capacity analysis, and distribution of population analysis. The results showed that the most available sub-district of potential settlement land is Mijen Subdistrict, and the total potential land area in Semarang City is 7,006 Ha. The results of the potential land are the destination for the direction of population distribution for sub-districts that do not have potential settlement land. Among others, are spread in West Semarang District, Tugu District, Ngaliyan District, Mijen District, Gunung Pati District, Tembalang District, and Pedurungan District.

“…Suitability analysis could determine the fitness of land use. The Geographic Information System ( GIS ) and Analytical Hierarchy Process ( AHP ) are successfully utilized to assess the land suitability [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. The GIS -based AHP evaluates the suitability analysis needed to consider numerous sophisticated and critical criteria.…”

“…According to the AHP method, we weighted these elements using ArcGIS 10.2 (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). Then, we derived the total score for each land use unit by integrating the criteria score and criteria weights [ 34 ]. The Weighted Linear Combination ( WLC ) was applied to calculate the composite weights using the following expression:

where G d presents the total score of the j th land use unit; V ij is the score for the i criterion in the j th land unit; W i is the i th criterion weight that is determined by the AHP method; n is the number of the criteria; and m is the number of land units in the study area.…”

With regional socio-economic development and increasing population, the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystem environments on the earth’s surface have changed markedly. Ecological shelter zone reconstruction (ESZR) is an ecosystem restoration and conservation project, which aims to ensure the safety of the ecological environments of—regions and basins. We selected the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (from Yibin to Chongqing) as the study area and determined the connotation of ESZR. At the same time, the planning scope and construction content of the ecological barrier in this specific region have been preliminarily explored. Meanwhile, a set of related planning methods was proposed, the ecological effects of which were quantitatively assessed and confirmed through the calculation of ESVs. Compared with the conditions in 2005, the study showed that the value of the services of the whole ecosystem augmented significantly under the slope classification, increasing by 103.23%. At the same time, the land use pattern has been optimized, and the vegetation coverage has been enhanced. The ESZR can effectively improve the ecosystem service function of slope land (mainly slope > 25°) and the regional ecological environment, solve the rocky desertification of the study area and provide an effective decision in relation to supporting regional green sustainable development.

“…GIS based land use suitability analysis has been applied in a many fields such as agricultural suitability, regional planning, geological planning, strategic environmental assessment, (Marull et al, 2007), natural source management (Steiner et al, 2000), Forestry Planning (Temiz and Tecim, 2009), Urban Growth Prediction in South Korea (Park et al, 2011). Additionally, it has been used in locating sustainable suburban centers in Palestine (AbuSada and Thawaba, 2011), Urban Growth Simulation in Guanghzou in China (Wu, 1998), simulating sustainable urban growth scenarios in Famagusta (Kara, 2013), sustainable hillside development in Malaysia (Chandio et al, 2014) selecting best locations for urban growth in Serembian, Malaysia (Aburas et al, 2017) land suitability analysis for environmental dimension of sustainable urban development in Tehran (Javadian et al, 2011), identifying potential sites for housing zones in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia (Weldu and Deribew, 2016), developing urban growth scenarios for protection cropland areas in central Iran (Asgarian et al, 2018). In these studies, MCE and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches have been applied for planning and management process.…”

Abuja, the federal capital of Nigeria was created when Lagos failed to function as the Federal Capital due to the resultant urban problems as a result of land availability. Currently, the rate of implementation of the master plan and urban development is outpaced by the rate of urban growth due to urbanization, as a result exerting a lot of strain on the urban facilities of the city which affects the life of the residents. This study is aimed at identifying a suitable site for future sustainable urban growth in Abuja. The study evaluates urban growth policies namely; social equity, compact growth and environmental protection into spatial layers as the framework for multicriteria evaluation using the geographical information system. The spatial layers are the distance to road, distance to the central area, distance to educational facilities, distance to green/open spaces, soil, slope, vegetation, natural features, and pollution sites were evaluated and prioritized as per judgment of relevant experts. The influencing weights among the layers were computed using Analytical Hierarchy Process. The overall Consistency Ratio (CR) of the module was 0.04 and fulfilled the tolerable threshold (i.e., CR ≤ 0.1). The Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) function of ArcGIS model builder has been applied to generate a suitability map. The map clearly presents the areas that are suitable for future sustainable urban development and also areas that are not, reducing the possibility of future disaster.
