What is it about?

This article is about finding the best site for constructing a geomagnetic observatory in Kerman province, Iran. It's about geomagnetic observatories and factors may play a role in selecting a suitable site for constructing a geomagnetic observatory and the accuracy of the data will record there after constructing. We used AHP and Fuzzy method in GIS and TOPSIS in this article.

Why is it important?

In our work, a GIS-based procedure is followed to detect the most suitable region for constructing a geomagnetic observatory in Kerman Province, Iran. Eleven objective factors which may affect future operation of a geomagnetic observatory are defined. Logical technology was successfully adapted to our problem and seven suitable areas were detected using AHP and Fuzzy method. The areas were finally ranked by TOPSIS.

Perspectives

This article is a part of a research project in Shahid Bahonar university of Kerman, Iran. ِWriting this article was a great chance for me to collaborate with my best professors Dr. Hojat, Dr. Ranjbar and Dr. Karimi Nasab and I like to thank them for everything.
