The purpose of the research is twofold: (1) to overview and systematise the methods for spatial multiple decision making; and (2) to demonstrate the approach if integrating GIS and MCA (multiple criteria analysis), using compromise programming as one optional methodology. The calculation is made for the agglomeration of Dresden and Győr, considering 8 land utilisation types (LUT). ArcInfo and ArcView are the GIS platform.

The purpose of the research is to analyse the physical and structural consequences of sprawling in the suburbanised ring of the two cities and to evaluate the sustainable development of cities.

Full methodological description of CP, literature review and result maps for the two regions.

MCA models, and CP are suitable and well adaptable in physical land use evaluation and planning, due to ones are able to operate and work with huge number of data necessary for precise land use optimalisation.
