The Application of Geographical Information Systems and the Analytic Hierarchy Process in Selecting Sustainable Areas for Urban Green Spaces: A Case Study in Hue City, Vietnam

A study identifies 684 hectares in Hue City, Vietnam, as highly suitable for urban green spaces (UGSs) to address current and future population needs. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), researchers mapped potential UGS areas based on six criteria, prioritizing proximity to residential zones. The research proposes expanding existing UGSs by 35 new spaces, totaling 167 hectares, to meet Hue's green space requirements by 2030. This approach integrates local resident input and leverages Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for sustainable urban planning.
