Assessing the forestry environmental condition using GIS-AHP approach in the forest research institute Malaysia (FRIM) campus, Malaysia

Degradation of environmental forestry condition has become a serious issue faced by many countries today. The primary cause of this problem is related to human disturbance towards natural resources. Therefore, the concern of this research is to assess the level of the health condition of artificial...
