Using Multicriteria Evaluation and GIS for the Land-Use of Urban Agricultural Development in Delft, The Netherlands

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article investigates a strategy for the distribution of land to develop urban agriculture, and speculate how to apply Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) for determining the location and level of conflict between agriculture and other forms of human intervention. The procedure is applied on a case study in the city of the Netherlands: Delft. And the findings expect to produce a model which shows a set of suitability maps, using which planners may quickly compare scenarios and make a decision.
