| − | <p>With increased interest in purpose-built offices in Malaysia, investors identify the need to leverage on geospatial tools to make better value judgments in investments. In the context of PBOs, properties situated within the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle (KLGT) have higher rental values. In the study conducted, five purpose-built offices (PBO) were selected for analysis and primary data was gathered via a questionnaire for the building occupants and secondary data from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis. The first part of the study required survey respondents to prioritize the importance of individual locational characteristics that affect their choice of a PBO. After which, network analysis (to determine distance) is applied to the dataset in order to assign scores for each locational characteristic for each PBO. With the weightages derived from part one multiplied to the scores from part two, a final result was returned for each PBO, with the highest score (termed 'Locational Quality Index') indicating the most suitable PBO for investments.</p><hr noshade/>

| − | <p>Owing to the fact that Japan in located near the Pacific of Ring of Fire, this endevaour to conduct pre-planning response and post-disaster recovery procedures in the Ofunato City of Japan focuses on the usage of GIS and AHP. The spatial analysis included the study of factors (also known as criterions in AHP) affecting a grid’s vulnerability and they are land elevation, slope, coastline distance, vegetation density. With the gathered data, the investigators then proceed to apply AHP to prioritize the influence that each of these criterions have in determining the overall vulnerability of a grid, which returns a weightage for each criterion. The derived weighted overlay is then applied to the spatial data (of the five criterions) to generate an overall score which indicates the vulnerability of that respective grid, therein serving as a basis for the formulation of recovery procedures specific to that grid. </p><hr noshade/>

| − | <p><i>'''GIS-based Land Suitability Analysis Using AHP for Public Parks Planning in Larkana City'''</i></p>
| |
| − | <p>The planning of public parks in Larkana City of Pakistan was carried out by integrating a Geographic Information System (GIS) alongside the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process framework to evaluate multiple criteria. Specifically, the decision support system software was that of ExpertChoice, which was used to determine the weights based on three alternative scenarios — land availability, land value and population density. These three scenarios were performed in raster format and analyzed in ArcGIS, a popular GIS software. The three scenarios were then combined to determine the potential land space that best fit the criteria involved in the decision-making process. This particular case in point highlights the tedium involved in integrating AHP and GIS into the decision making process — they exist as separate applications and the information from one has to be ported to the other by manual means, therein underscoring the prevalent silo-ed nature of such applications.</p>

| − | <p>There are only a handful of applications which incorporate the analysis of spatial and non-spatial data. Geospatial Analytics has been a very common and handy tool when it comes to evaluating a selected location, but is limited to only spatial data. However, when it comes to assessing locational characteristics, we firmly believe that non-spatial characteristics such as land parcel valuation or transaction prices should also be taken into consideration. Hence, in order to allow for better geographical analysis, our group is convinced that the incorporation of Geospatial Analytics and AHP will prove to be insightful. </p> | + | <p> |
| − | <p>Devised some 30 years ago, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was introduced as a multi-criterion decision making tool. It has since been implemented in various contexts, from deciding which primary school to send children to, to procurement and strategic sourcing in organisations. AHP captures its user's consideration for multiple criterions in decision making, and returns a priority index (also known as priority weights) ranking the importance of each criterion to the user. Based on the generated weights for each criterion, the user will proceed to compare his or her choices against one another in terms of each criterion. Similarly, a priority index is generated but this time round, it shows the ranking of choices in terms of which criterions the user preferred best. </p>
| + | |
| − | <p>Taking it to the next level, AHP can also be used with multiple inputs from different users. There are various instances where decisions involve more than just one stakeholder. For example, choosing a location to set up a new school; stakeholders involved are such as SLA (who plans exactly the purpose for each state-owned land parcel), the potential school board, NEA (preservation of nature) etc. Also, in the context of our application, buying a new home is very commonly a decision made between two or more parties.</p>
