Abstract

Dam site selection is not a new problem; the traditional methods for solving this problem are costly and time consuming. Nowadays, advancement in technologies allows us to utilize maximum resources at optimum cost. Geographic Information System (GIS) based multicriteria decision analysis approaches are the common methods used for solving this type of problem.
In this research, to locate potential dam sites along El KebirShemaly River, the criteria of slope, soil, geology, landuse, rainfall, drainage network, distance from road, and distance from target area were developed and implemented. The approach is based on the extension of Analytical Hierarchy Process using fuzzy quantifiers guided by Ordered Weighted Averaging operators (GIS-based AHP-OWA). The outcomes indicate that the developed criteria were sensitive to physical, hydrological, environmental and economical settings on the study area. Furthermore, by changing the linguistic quantifiers, the GIS-based AHP–OWA can generate a wide range of decision strategies.
الطرق التقليدية في اختيار مواقع السدود مکلفة وتتطلب مجهوداً کبيراً. لکن التطور التکنولوجي يمکننا من استخدام تقنية  نظم المعلومات الجغرافية وAHP-OWA  اللتان تعتبران الطريقتين الأکثر شيوعاً في حل مثل هذا النوع من المسائل. في هذا البحث استخدمنا  ميل الحوض، نوع التربة، صلابة الجيولوجية السطحية, استخدامات الأراضي، توزع الأمطار، شبکة التصريف النهري, المسافة إلى الطرق، والمسافة للمناطق المخدمة کمعايير لاتخاذ قرار تحديد المواقع الممکنة للسدود على نهر الکبير الشمالي في سوريا. هذه التقنية تظهر تأثير المعايير البيئية والاقتصادية والهيدرولوجية في تحديد موقع السد. کما تسمح هذه التقنية باستخدام التعابير اللفظية في إتخاذ القرار وبالتالي تعطي مجالاً واسعاً من سيناريوهات اتخاذ القرار.
