Ecotourism Suitabilty Modelling with AHP

This project utilized the weighted overlay technique and the analytical hierarchical processing to identify potential sites for Ecotourism in the Ikere Gorge catchment area of Oyo State. A medium resolution DEM was used to delineate the catchments in the area to isolate the contributing catchment, then Landuse, slope, proximity to streams, income classification and surface elevation were compiled into the AHP using weighted criteria of land use (35%), Slope (15%), Distance to Stream (15%), Distance to Road (15%), Income Distribution (5), and Elevation (15%).
