| dc.description.abstract | A multi-criteria decision analysis was conducted using a geographic information system (GIS) coupled with analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methods to evaluate and prioritize the pipeline project areas for Assa North Ohaji South. Alternative Right-of-Ways (ROWs) with two optimal routes were determined and compared with the existing ROWs. During the analysis, several criteria were considered to determine the least cost alternative ROW, including slope, geology, waterbodies, roads, land use, and land cover. The optimum route for connecting the source and destination was then determined. The LANDSAT 8 imageries of the study area were processed and classified into various land use and land cover types, which were then modeled using ArcMap 10.8 GIS software for routing analysis. It was used in the study to demonstrate the efficiency of MCDA LCP and AHP integration in generating optimum routes for the ANOH project. By avoiding steep slopes, built-up areas, and waterbodies, the optimal route avoided the limitations of the existing ROW. This route has a 22% reduction in length and will decrease construction costs, which is an indication of its efficiency. | pt_PT |
