Geographic Information System and Genetic Algorithm Application for Multicriterial Land Valorization in Spatial Planning
This paper is focused on the development of methodology for multicriterial land valorization in land use planning by application of genetic algorithm. One of the key tools for design of the decision support system based on this methodology is geographic information system which serve to quantify multicriterial data and represent resulting spatial data. The methodology and the algorithm are applied to a specific problem of spatial planning in Tuzla Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The crucial points of the research are the following: possibility of multicriterial valorization of the land from the GA use perspective, how to utilize the capacity of the GA optimization techniques in the frame of decision support system and with usage of the GIS tools and how to apply the GA in the field of genotype presentation in spatial modeling.
