Cycle tour path using the integration of fuzzy-AHP and ELECTRE in GIS network analysis

Cycle tourism can have many positive effects on the local economy, including good effects on the environment and the nature preserve, as well as the ability to spread good behaviours and habits. The technique addresses the challenges and opportunities in cycling infrastructure and tourism. It aims to determine the criteria for safe cycling paths, identify potential cycle tour paths using Fuzzy-AHP and GIS method, and analyse the suitability of these paths through the ELECTRE method. The objectives of this technique are to determine the degree of importance for factors influencing the design of cycling paths, to derive potential paths for cycling tour and to analyse the suitability of potential paths for cycling tours. This technique is intended to integrate Fuzzy-AHP and ELECTRE method within a GIS network analysis framework. The technique's findings reveal a systematic methodology integrating Fuzzy-AHP, Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), and ELECTRE methods within GIS which facilitating the identification of the most suitable cycle paths for tourism purposes. This technique offers a visual representation of optimized paths and enhancing sustainable cycle tourism while promoting economic and environmental benefits for the local community. In conclusion, this technique highlights the importance of integrating advanced methodologies such as Fuzzy- AHP, TSP, and ELECTRE within GIS for identifying optimal cycle tour paths. By implement of these techniques, it can enhance cycle tourism experiences and offer valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to develop and promote sustainable tourism initiatives centred around cycling.
