| Abstract: |
This chapter presents the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology and techniques for using this methodology to solve geographic problems. In particular, the AHP is used as a tool for spatial decision-making. The chapter aims to help readers understand how to use the AHP method in the context of multi-criteria spatial decision analysis, as well as its practical application to spatial problems through GIS. The chapter begins with an introduction to the theory of AHP, explaining its development for geographic applications, and outlines the structure of the chapter. The method and its implementation steps are then explained in detail. The chapter concludes with an example application of AHP analysis in a GIS environment.
