    Optimizing Selection of Sustainable Material-extraction Sites with GIS-based Decision-support Systems (AHP/MACBETH): In-depth Case Study from Settat, Morocco
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Amellal, Issam; Amellal, Asmae; Hattabi, Said
    In today’s world, sustainability is crucial, particularly in managing natural resources for sustainable development. Often, environmental impacts of new activities are overlooked, worsening the effects on already vulnerable environments. Our study uses two multi-criteria decision-making tools, MACBETH and AHP, integrated with GIS technology, to evaluate quarry sites in Settat Province, Morocco. This methodology classifies sites by suitability, based on criteria aligned with sustainable development goals. We found a high consistency between MACBETH and AHP, with less than 4% divergence in criteria weighting, confirming the robustness of our integrated approach in making location-based decisions for quarries. The resulting maps clearly delineate zones from unsuitable to highly suitable for quarrying. Beyond assessing current quarrying practices, our findings offer strategic insights for future site planning and establishment, showcasing adaptability and potential for replication. This research provides a practical model for improving material extraction practices, aligning with sustainable development needs, and serving as a valuable tool for policymakers and industry stakeholders.
