Abstract

We implement an algorithm that uses a system of max-min fuzzy  relation equations (SFRE) for solving a problem of spatial analysis. We integrate this algorithm in a Geographical information Systems (GIS) tool. We apply our  process to determine the symptoms after that an expert sets the SFRE with the values of the impact coefficients related to some parameters of a geographic zone under study. We also define an index of evaluation about the reliability of the results.
