Multi-criteria evaluation for citrus fruits land use suitability using AHP technique in Churachandpur district, Manipur
Keywords:
Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE), suitabilityAbstract
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has emerged as one of the most important structured technique in the field of complex decision analysis. In this paper, an endeavour has been made using AHP for land use suitability of citrus fruit production. The study is not necessarily optimal solution to a given model in the area under consideration. Using Saaty’s nine-point scale for pair wise comparisons, one may be able to precisely measure the ‘goodness’ of the approximation. In the present envisaged study, the factors like slope, road proximity, soil depth, absolute relief and soil pH affecting in the process are analytically and logically encompassed to make a gainful research through a scientifically proven method, which has been depicted in this present paper in a sequential manner.
