| Abstract | The present work combines Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) techniques and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to obtain a desirable model of urban settlement for the Great San Miguel de Tucuman, the largest urban center of NW Argentina, which serves as a support for urban planning and evaluation. We carried out a MCE using urban maps from 2001 and 2009 and a set of possible explanatory factors of urban growth, applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process and Weighted Linear Combination to obtain a suitability map for urban use. Additionally, we proposed alternative sceneries of urban growth considering environmental and Tecnologias de la Informacion Geografica: la Informacion Geografica al Servicio de los CiU000xdada;nos. Secretariado de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Sevilla. Sevilla 2010 874 economic criteria, and an intermediate situation between both. These sceneries were then compared with the real growth that occurred during the study period. The proposed sceneries showed higher average suitability values than the values observed in the real growth. In general, urban desirable areas (according to the proposed sceneries) are located east of GSMT. When considering real growth we observed an expansion adjacent to central nucleus, along the road network. This shows a pattern similar to the extreme economic sceneries, and point out the influence of the road network on the location of residential areas and the lack of criteria for environmental conservation in developing urban areas. |
