摘要

Choosing an airport site is a complicated task requiring significant time and effort. This paper outlines applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the Geographical Information System (GIS) to find the best site location for the construction of an airport. The case of Mosul city in Iraq was studied as a model. There is only an old airport with a runway of 2,650 m inside the city that can not be extended and was completely damaged during the rule of the city by ISIS gangs. The criteria that influence the airport's location were taken in this study i.e., nearest to city boundaries, land topography (slope), accessibility (main roadway, railway, and infrastructure services), availability of land for investment, environmental impact (social, economic, and ecological), land price, and soil bearing strength. A questionnaire was created to highlight the relative relevance of location criteria. This was carried out using pairwise comparisons after creating a hierarchical framework to assess the criteria. The outcomes of the relative importance criterion show that the nearest to the city center has the highest relative importance, with an amount of 38%, followed by land topography (slope) with an amount of 20%, and soil-bearing strength has the lowest relative importance. An equivalent cost surface was formulated, and airport sites have been determined using a variety of maps and a unique framework for the accomplishment of data analysis on the adjusted surface. The results of the analysis showed that the preferred site for the construction of the airport is in the west of Mosul near Al-Sahhaji (Al-Khubayrat Village). The study found that the model can be used effectively and efficiently in strategic planning and decision-making processes to determine the location of the airport.
