SPEAKER: Dr. Hilario C. Lamotte
TITLE: Mapematics - A New Approach in Multi-criteria Analysis
The combination of mapping and algebra transforms Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) into a robust tool for multi-criteria analysis.
This paper explains the theory and presents some case studies of its use in
Marine GIS in Atlantic Canada. A case study illustrates one of the issues
related to where to apply a limited budget to marine research. This is not a
simple question and it depends on different criteria including fisheries
science and management concerns, marine environmental criteria, and maritime
traffic density among others. In different situations, GIS has been
presented as a magic tool providing solutions to challenging spatial
problems, and this is exemplified when the combination of multiple
alternatives demonstrates the potential for GIS to contribute to spatial
analyses for marine science and management decision-making processes.
