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. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_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 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.567.144 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 567 pagerange: 144-149 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351238 issn: 16609336 citation: Saeed, M.O. and Aziz, H.A. and Azizli, K.A.M.
