Multicriteria methods and logic aggregation in suitability maps

In this paper, we identify and describe fundamental logic properties of multicriteria methods for land‐use suitability analysis and the design of suitability maps. The existing multicriteria methods can be evaluated from the standpoint of their ability to support the necessary logic properties that affect the expressive power of evaluation methods. The paper investigates and compares simple additive scoring, multiattribute value technique, multiattribute utility technique, analytic hierarchy process, ordered weighted average, outranking methods, and logic scoring of preference (LSP). We introduce canonical forms of logic aggregation in suitability maps and show how to use canonical aggregation structures to design LSP suitability maps that evaluate distributions of points of interests (POIs) in urban areas. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
