Spatial Prioritization of Infrastructure Management Using Stakeholder Experience

Abstract

Polarization of available infrastructures is an essential requirement for sustainable management of resources in infrastructure management. The use of geographical information system (GIS) provides as opportunity to execute the said requirement by considering the need of immediate attention and special existence of the infrastructures. GIS models with AHP provide manner, thus, enlightening the prioritization requirements. Computation of the weight in AHP is subjective and judgmental, thus the prioritization of resources can be varied while sustaining the mathematical requirements of AHP calculations. The present study demonstrate the use of stakeholder's option in assigning weighted factors and the application of AHP in prioritization of spatially varied infrastructure in GIS environment to achieve better management options.
