Abstract
Land evaluation is the process of assigning an index to land areas representing a measure of the suitability of the land to a particular activity and is related to the land characteristics. The key challenge to researchers is the combination of data layers with non-commensurable data forms in a manner understandable to land managers. A survey of essayed techniques reveals a methodological extension to Saaty's (1977) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential solution. This thesis develops an analytical tool to confirm the utility of AHP for land evaluation.
