Application of geographic information system technique and analytical hierarchy process model for land-use suitability analysis on coastal area.

Land-use suitability is the ability of a given type of land to support a defined use. GIS is known as a powerful tool for handling spatial data in land-use analysis. Application of this tool alone cannot overcome the lack of consistency in opinions given by experts when trying to assign relative imp...
