Abstract
The study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with ten criteria divided into economic and environmental groups to select appropriate locations for planning industrial clusters in Chi Linh city, Hai Duong province. GIS technology and Fuzzy logic theory were applied to create raster thematic layers and build membership functions for each criterion, then combined with the criteria weights and overlayed to create the suitable value layer. Research results showed that the unsuitable area was 23,959.23 hectares, accounting for 84.96% of the research area; 4,123.91 hectares were less suitable, and 115.86 hectares were suitable for industrial cluster planning, corresponding to 14.62% and 0.41% of the research area, respectively. The study proposed the two most potential locations in Cong Hoa and Chi Minh wards with an area of 28.43 hectares and 72.41 hectares, respectively, for planning an industrial cluster in Chi Linh city, Hai Duong province.
