Abstract

Decision-making is the most important challenge facing experts and specialists in solving the problems of broad urban and regional planning. Multi-criteria decision-making issues usually include a set of location situations that should be evaluated based on several different criteria.
Group approach considers decision making as an evolutionary process, which uses discussion, argumentation, and consensus of a discussion to describe question. The logic of the survey is to conduct a collective decision in an environment. In order to effectively support group participation in decision making, the tools of analysis and collaboration should be integrated and consistent. In connection with the importance and role of decision making, various methods have been introduced to support decision making and their efficiency and effectiveness have always been considered.
The processes and analyses of multi-criteria decision making in GIS can be considered as a process that combines location data and evaluation values together.
