Thereinafter and according to the previous analysis, the technique that adapts better to GIS is chosen. Next, an integration methodology of the compromise programming method is elaborated, with the two types of GIS, raster and vectorial, represented respectively by the packages IDRISI and PC-ARC/INFO.
