Abstract: Considering the influencing factors in habitation selection, such as its administrative scale, location feature, area size and so on, a new method of areal habitation auto-selection was proposed based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Firstly, standardize the factors influencing the importance of habitation; then adopt the AHP method to construct hierarchical structure model for one habitation by using these factors, and make these factors correlate with each other; on this basis, the weight of each factors was calculated and the importance of each habitation on the map was comprehensively evaluated; finally, use square root model to complete the habitation selection. The proposed method combined the qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis, and synthetically take into account the difference that different factors have different influence on habitation importance, which improved the scientificalness of weights allocation. Experiment showed that the selecting results of this method are in conformity with the selection rules, and solved the problem of which to choose in the habitation selection.
