Analytic Hierarchy Process 1. Developing the AHP hierarchy
2. Assigning weights of importance to each element of the
hierarchical structure
- using the pairwise comparison method
- Then the weights are computes as follows:

- Synthesis of priorities
- Takes each of the derived ratio scale priorities
in the various levels of the
hierarchy and constructs a composite set of priorities
for the elements at the
lowest level of the hierarchy (that is, alternatives) Four levels:
- Goal
- Objectives
- Attributes
- Alternatives

evaluated Positive model:
- This hypothetical alternative is often defined in
terms of the positive ideal (utopia) point, or
negative ideal (or anti-ideal or nadir) point
- Positive and negative ideal points are determined
as the best and worst possible value achievable by
any alternative, respectively:
Spatially explicit
