Abstract

ABSTRACTThe combination of Web GIS (Geographic Information System) and Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques offers an effective tool for collaborative spatial decision making. This study examines the relationship between the group recommendations on alternatives and the information search behaviour of decision makers in a web-based GIS-MCDA for parking site selection in Tehran, Iran. Decision participants used a GIS-MCDA framework without and with an access to group decision/recommendations. Findings show that the access to group decision leads to a decrease in the proportion of information search, the average time spent acquiring each piece of information, and variability of information search per attribute in a parking site selection context.
