This study defines the optimum route planning for Electric Transmission Lines by
Multicriteria Decision Analysis which is based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Determination of the optimum route is performed by using both the spatial and Euclidean
distances between two points located on the Earth&rsquo / s surface.
The criteria needed to be taken into account to define the route of the Electrical Transmission
Lines were evaluated with help of the experts who are doing this business in the available
system and for this study the decision about the usage of needed data such as landuse map,
landuse capability map, geology map, road map, zone plan and digital elevation models is
also made with their knowledge.
A Matlab code, which computes the optimum distance between two transformers by using
real distance (spatial distance) method and by considering materials mentioned above is
written. The results are compared with the ones found from the Euclidian distance, which is
the common distance finding method in the available commercial GIS softwares.
The spatial resolution effect in finding the spatial distance is also analyzed. The routes
obtained by two different distance computation methods are compared with the existing route.
The economical expectations in finding the optimum route are also discussed.
