Prioritization of the land for housing to the metropolitan development of the city of Pachuca Hidalgo, through Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract

The following article seeks to explain how the incorporation of rural land to the development of intermediate cities, is a growing phenomenon in which real estate developers only consider the cost-benefit variable. The only important thing is the highest number of housing in a real estate development, regardless of the social area and the saturation of services, usually do not analyze the road infrastructure, urban equipment, and most importantly, basic services, such as: water, light and drainage. A multi-criteria model (Hierarchical Analytical Process, AHP) is proposed (Saaty, 1980), which helps to prioritize the urban vocation, starting from five macrovariables: 1. The legal situation. 2. the type of property for its use 3. the specific factors of the study area. 4. economic factors 5. ecological factor, plated a decision tree and paired comparison matrices that help us to select the most appropriate soil.
