Description
The Multicriteria decision analysis is a tool to support decision-making in the identification of areas with the utmost beekeeping potential.
This paper design a GIS multicriteria approach to assess the beekeeping potential. The development of a conceptual model structure
requires the participation of stakeholders and experts in that process. The spatial Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) allowed defining
the potential beekeeping map. The resulting maps can be used by the beekeepers associations to easily select the more suitable areas for the
apiaries location or relocation and avoid prohibited areas by legal requirements.
