摘要
Land suitability analysis is becoming critical in determining the land resource which is suitable for some specific uses. The city administrators and planners are faced with difficulties in supplying facilities like availing of green space due to the dynamic urban growth trends. The paper assesses suitable sites for urban green space using geographic information system (GIS) multi-criteria analysis methods. Numerous spatial and non-spatial datasets were obtained from different organizations and processed using GIS tools and remote sensing techniques for suitable site selection process. The suitability analysis was done in GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis steps. Analytical hierarchy process of a pairwise comparison matrix was created and criteria weights were calculated for each factor. Based on GIS-based MCA, 49.76, 4.15, and 24.04% of the study area identified as less suitable, highly suitable and moderately suitable for green space development, respectively. © 2017, Società Italiana di Fotogrammetria e Topografia (SIFET).
