THE USE OF NEW TECHNIQUES IN SPATIAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE: MULTIPLE-CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS AND GIS

Abstract

The research aims to analyze and evaluate the quality of urban life using modern technologies by engaging residents and experts to choose criteria for analyzing and evaluating the quality of life (QoL)using multi-criteria analysis and a geographic information system to conduct spatial modeling to extract a Qol analysis and evaluation map and determine its geographical ranges. The study showed that (4.44%) represent a high QOL and (47.23%) represent an acceptable QOL and (48.33%) represent a low QOL. The study proved that there are geographical differences between the city center and the suburbs that can be spatially determined.
