Özet
Construction, repair and maintenance costs of a highway as well as its operation performance and environmental-social effects are mostly depend on its alignment. Therefore, the most important step in the highway planning activity is the alignment determination step. In this study; a 3 stage model incorporating Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is developed for highway alignment determination process. In the model; many criteria are handled simultaneously at the beginning of the project according to a concrete procedure with the existence of spatial data, and thus, many drawbacks of existing alignment determination process are eliminated. Fuzzy functions were used in the standardization of criteria maps. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in the determination of criteria weights. Weighted Lineer Combination method was used for the combination of criteria maps. Developed model was tested in a highway project in Tokat, Turkey. IDRISI software was used in the case study for the application of the model. It is seen that use of three stages in the process makes it easy; to take constraints into evaluation, to create alignment alternatives with different viewpoints and to make selection between alternatives with different viewpoints. © 2014 Korean Society of Civil Engineers and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
