Environmental Impact Analysis Using Hybrid Decision Support Framework: A Transportation Project Case Study
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study for any project is a time- consuming process because it has a large number of dependent and independent variables that must be taken into account. Although EIAs are dependent on geo-spatial information in order to make an assessment, there are no standard rules for conducting an environmental assessment. In addition, each assessment objective is case-dependent, based on what information is available. This paper presents a new framework for the analysis phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for projects, based on the integration between remote sensing technology, geographic information systems, and spatial modeling. The framework comprehensively analyzes the environmental vulnerability around the project areas and its impact on the environment by integrating the merits of the map overlay method and the matrix method. This framework is expected to improve the quality of the decision making process in urban and inter-urban projects. A transportation project is used as a framework demonstration case study to illustrate the decision support framework and demonstrate its capabilities.
