What is the question? I do not see any
You are only saying something that has been known for decades
MCE Theory has been enabled by the use of Geographic Information Systems to complement the use of multiple criteria, weighted criteria, data analysis and some form of a ranking decision-making framework. Esri ArcGIS Pro and Esri Business Analyst, are off the shelf software packages which can be used to research site selection. The data used for the analysis can come from a number of state agencies. In the United States, these can include the United States Geographic Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency and the soil service. I am currently working on a book on Park Development which leans heavily on MCE to locate new parks
Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) Theory is a decision-making methodology that integrates multiple, often conflicting criteria to identify optimal solutions. In site selection, MCE involves ranking potential locations based on weighted criteria such as accessibility, environmental suitability, cost, and infrastructure availability. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enhance MCE by enabling spatial analysis, visualization, and integration of diverse datasets. Tools like ArcGIS Pro and Esri Business Analyst are commonly used for this purpose. MCE's adaptability makes it valuable for urban planning, resource allocation, and sustainable development by balancing diverse priorities effectively.
