Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE)
Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) is an application that assists and guides a user in doing Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) in a spatial way.
As input for the application, you need to build a criteria tree:
For each factor and for each constraint, you need to specify a name as text (like a description), and an input map or input attribute column.
A criteria tree lists and defines:
The initial output of the operation are so-called 'composite index' raster maps. These maps combine all input data according to the rules for weighing and standardization of the factors and/or constraints.
The output maps show the suitability for the goal that was set, and can be an aid in planning and decision-making.
