The application of GIS-AHP technique in analysing the level of the environmental condition of forested areas

Forests are major resources that offer a strong artistic, cultural, biological and economical source for the social community in every nation. Degradation of the environmental condition has become a key concern, and the primary cause of this trouble is linked primarily to human disturbance towards n...
