ABSTRACT parison of floodplain management alternatives in a raster
GIS environment is conceptualized as a multi criteria decision making problem. A
spatial MCDM technique is developed bining the promise
Programming technique with GIS technology. This new technique is referred to
herein as promise Programming (SCP). The main contribution of the
proposed technique is its ability to address uneven spatial distribution of criteria
values in the evaluation and ranking of alternatives. SCP is used to determine the
best alternative for each geographic location within the region of interest. The
analysis of floodplain management strategies for the Red River Valley region is
chosen as a case study to illustrate application of the promise
Programming technique.
