    “… Th[is] article explores how …GIS and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to identify the best locations for fire observation towers in a forested region of Iran. By combining elevation, slope, road access, and visibility analysis, the research team created a data-driven model to maximize monitoring coverage and support forest protection efforts.
    … The methodology could be applied to everything from emergency management and environmental monitoring to public infrastructure and asset management.
    That's the power of GIS: turning complex questions into informed decisions…”

    “Forests have been seriously affected by fire; therefore, it is necessary to detect fire from the observation towers. Currently, the number of observation towers and the effectiveness of their distribution is unknown. The aim of the current research is to determine the current and potential areas that can be seen from the observation towers. Another goal of this research is to propose a new network to maximize its effectiveness. The analysis of the field of view in …GIS software was done by integrating the digital height model and the road network map, vegetation cover, etc. to determine the entire surface of a field of view. It was found that the observation towers resulting from the designed model approximately cover the studied area for the supervision of the security staff. In addition to the designed model, an experienced expert staff took a close look at the field with GPS and according to the experiences, selected places for the construction of an observation tower and placed them on the designed model, and then witnessed the approximate coverage of the field visit…”
