Abstract
A GIS-Based Decision Support System for Brownfield Redevelopment
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Jagannadha Rao Matta, Michael Thomas, Jeremeiah Asher
A Site Prioritization Weighting and Ranking Model was developed to better differentiate among potential brownfield sites for the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority of Jackson County, Michigan. The process, adapted to a GIS, identifies 11siting criteria derived from a number of factors including commercial financial incentives, environmental regulatory compliance requirements, regional infrastructure and labor resources, and local community acceptance. These factors were integrated into a conventional, step-by-step, site identification and selection process using a multitiered, weighted procedure and integrated into a GIS-based decision support system.
