do the difficult part

• SOFT CONSERVATIONISTS
• We prefer to propose based on scientifically
  sound criteria the
• installation of the golf course in an area with
  minimum impacts
• than just say no
• set a list of installation preservation
  criteria
• Used a pairwise comparison to find the relative
  importance of each criteria

3
Used GIS data describing each criteria and their
relative importance to obtain the areas with less
importance from an environmental and natural
heritage perspective To do this we converted
all the elaborated GIS data to grid files and we
add them in order to come up with the final map
suggesting the best options for the golf course
installation

• Set of criteria cover all preservation aspects?
• Subjective values in the relative importance
