Abstract
The paper presents a GIS-based method for selecting an optimum location of wind farm on the case study of the Prusice commune in Lower Silesia (SW Poland). The adopted multi-criteria approach utilises the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods to determine weights of sitting criteria (factors and constraints), and to develop a composite suitability map from single-factor maps representing these criteria. The adopted sitting criteria have been identified based on literature review, and include: technical, spatial, social and environmental aspects of wind farm devel- opment, and also address specific geographical constrains of this part of Poland. The most suitable and suitable areas have been presented on a wind farm suitability map for the com- mune. The area size of the largest suitable spots (14) varies from 10 to 64 ha. The proposed method and the results of this work can be used to support sustainable spatial policy and spatial development on all levels of public administration related to renewable resources use.
期刊介绍：
Mining Scince. Scientific Papers of the Department Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wroclaw University of Technology. The journal publishes original papers on mining and geology, geo-engineering and the related issues. The journal is devoted to the following topics: fundamental research in mining, underground and open-cast mining technologies, blasting technology, design and construction of mines, geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, mine ventilation, fluid mechanics and its application in mining, mining machinery and condition monitoring, mineral processing, environmental protection and waste utilization. The journal also accepts papers concerns geoengineering which is a sciences covering mining construction, geotechnical engineering, GIS, and earth sciences.
