A Geographic Information System for Rural Accessibility: Database Development and the Application of Multi-Criteria Evaluation for Road Network Planning in Rural Areas


This paper demonstrates the development of a spatial decision support system (SDSS) to assist government planners in identifying suitable locations of rural roads based on the multi-criteria evaluation. The proposed system can likewise be utilized to determine locations where road improvement and maintenance activities should be provided. The advantage of SDSS is that it offers a structured approach in integrating analytical modeling and database operations to make decision-making more efficient, transparent, and equitable. The system allows planners to organize, monitor, and visualize data that can be used to determine the necessary interventions to meet local road network planning objectives systematically and efficiently.
