Bhutan - Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis

The Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis tool (MCDA) will enable the user to set up their own evaluation criteria's, visualise various options for interventions based on those, and assess the best possible action. The MCDA tool uses fast, web-based weighted raster overlay to generate models from a service. Choose layers, assign weights, and adjust layer classification values to define your analysis. Then, run the modeler, and visualize results.

How to use the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) tool?

  1. To begin, layers must be selected on the Select Layers panel. The Select Layers panel allows you to indicate which layers are going to be included in the model, as well as view more information.
  2. The Design Model panel is where you can assign percentages and weights to layers and the classes within them. All the percentages must have a sum of 100 before a model can be run. Percentages refer to each layer's relative importance.
  3. Once you have run your model, you will be able to create charting percentages.
