INVESTIGATION OF THE GEOLOGICAL SUITABILITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR URBAN AREAS PLANNING

The suitability of an area to be selected for urban development, e.g. development of a new settlement area or the expansion of an existing one, depends on several factors. The lack of a systematic categorisation of such factors, as well as the absence of any kind of quantified data that expresses the degree to which those factors affect construction activities, hinder well-structured and well-grounded decision making. Although appropriate legislation is in place, the specification and assumptions that are adopted in geological studies in practice often do not suffice, thus creating problems. The relevant national legislation has proved to be ineffective and obsolete, since decisions and choices that were made 20 years ago adopt a narrow view of critical urban development issues. The variety of the geographical relief in Greece, the widespread existence of archaeological sites, forested areas and seismic activity (existence of rifts) combined with water resources on the surface, underground and by the sea provides the ideal environment for developing and applying an holistic methodological approach to tackling the urban development problem.

This thesis focuses on the development of a multi-criteria model by utilising the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method. The application of the AHP method allows for the evaluation and ranking of alternative areas considered for development, based on the relative importance of the factors incorporated in the model. The validity of the model is examined by calculating the consistency ratio as well as by applying the model in the evaluation process of three alternative areas in the city of Loutraki, Greece. Furthermore, the model is tested for its applicability to investigating the techno-economic aspects in urban development studies in a manner that ensures transparency of procedures and results.
