Abstract: Abstract Land use management problems generally requires the use of geographic information systems (GIS). To do this, it is first necessary to take into account several often conflicting criteria. However, given the limited capabilities of GIS, the representation of a decision map resulting from the overlaying of more than four conflicting criteria maps is problematic. To overcome this difficulty and enhance the analytical capabilities of GIS, the literature presents a variety of works on the joint use of GIS and multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. In these works, the limitations that emerge are firstly the difficulty of fully integrating a MCDM method into the GIS, secondly the large number of parameters of the MCDM method to be integrated into the GIS, thirdly the aggregation of heterogeneous criteria. In this work we propose an answer to these three concerns through the integration of the KEMIRA method in the GIS open source QGIS and illustrate our approach on a real case study in Burkina Faso.
