Abstract:
The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a privileged and a crucial way to evolve GIS
into a real decision support system in the industrial site selection field. This study combines PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations) and Geographic Information System (GIS) to provide decision makers with a ranking model for industrial sites in Algeria. The ranking is based on a detailed study of geographic, environmental and socioeconomic criteria. A mixed integration mode between
GIS and MCDA is proposed in this study. The result obtained by R-PRO (Ranking PROMETHEE) for ranking industrial zones in Algeria is refined by viewing the GISIZ
(GIS for Industrial Zones). The system was designed for the evaluation of a new methodology of multi-criteria analysis guided by data mining. Only the Decision Making
Support System (DMSS) part is presented in this paper.
