technique by incorporation fuzzy multicriteria decision making for
compactness measurement index. This research has identified
and defined the shape information sources that are applicable to
the redistricting technique. During the design stage, the shape
information sources like the multiple compactness
measurements were being modeled to meet the requirements
and specifications defined and studied. These information
sources have also been incorporated into the redistricting
technique. The success of definition, modeling, and
incorporation of the tertiary information also highlighted the
applicability of Multiple Criteria Decision Making approach and
Fuzzy Logic approach in redistricting technique. The research
has successfully designed and developed a redistricting
algorithm used to incorporate shape information into redistricting
technique. The procedures for knowledge acquisition,
preprocessing, analyzing the multiple criteria, and draws the
district plan to the user has been defined. The overall
performance of the prototype designed according to the
integrated algorithms was tested and proven with a very
significance improvement on the redistricting process from
different aspect of testing.
