Sustained policy support is necessary in order to drive a transition toward renewable energy (RE). The ability to realize RE policy objectives is constrained by a range of geographic factors related to resource potential, the distribution of resources, land availability/suitability, the absorptive capacity of proximal infrastructure, and local socio-political acceptance. With this in mind, this paper provides a systematic review of how geographic information science and remote sensing techniques have been applied to reduce uncertainties surrounding renewable energy development, with emphasis on policy and planning needs. The concept of a ‘geo-information infrastructure’ is used to bring coherence and direction to …

One of the most crucial decision making processes in banking is optimally locating new branches. This issue is highly important especially for private banks due to vibrant competition, limited budgets and high customer expectations. This study’s objective is to provide an integrated model for selecting optimal site location using available data sources and well accepted decision models, specifically Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP).As a case study, we applied the proposed method for branch location of a private bank in the city of Rasht, Iran. The process identified the most commonly used …
