We analyzed the hierarchy process of certain pervious works to facilitate better understanding. The innovative work of Siddiqi et al. in 1996 highlighted the advantages of integrating AHP in GIS software and reviewed some limitations. The present paper explained the background study on multi-criteria decision analysis/aid (MCDA) so-called multi-criteria decision makers (MCDM) in conjunction with the advantages of GIS as a new remedy for utilizing the AHP weights of the decision makers. For this study we often use the term MCDA and MCDM. {\^A}{\copyright} (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, keywords = {Decision making; Hierarchical systems; Land fill; Planning; Regional planning, Decision makers; Geographic information system software; GIS software; Hierarchy process; Land suitability; Multi-criteria decision analysis; Multicriteria decision; Sanitary landfill sites, Geographic information systems}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84903529832&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMM.567.144&partnerID=40&md5=c44dc03b9c437918a0e9e00a0d3b7c9b} }
