The use of geographic information systems combined with multicriteria methods in organizations: a systematic literature review
Keywords:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Multicriteria Decision-Making (MCDM/A), CiteSpace , VOSviewer,Decision Support Systems.Abstract
This article describes the investigation of scientific production on the combination of geographic information systems (GIS) and multicriteria methods (MCDM/A). For this, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol was followed. As a result, from 8.001 initial records, a portfolio of 97 articles aligned with the research theme was selected, using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The analysis was conducted with the support of the CiteSpace, VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R package software, allowing us to understand the trends and development of the areas over time. The results point to significant challenges, such as the need for more intuitive interfaces, training of management teams, greater flexibility of systems and difficulties
in operationalizing decision-making. This study contributes to the understanding of the evolution of the field and highlights gaps that can guide future research.
