A spatial decision support system (SDSS) for sustainable tourism planning in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
The study describes a methodological approach based on an integrated use of Geographic Information System(GIS)and Analytic Network Process (ANP) of Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) to determine nature conservation and tourism development priorities among the highland areas. A set of criteria and indi...
