Siting Suitability Analysis of Petrol Filling Station using GIS and Analytical Hierarchy Process: A Case Study of Surabaya Metropolitan

ABSTRACT Petrol filling stations (PFS) are among those that have high potential of fire hazard due to the dangerous material that they store. Hence their siting should be carried out properly. Their improper siting could lead to disastrous consequences during fire and could cause pollution to surro...

Civil engineering (General) ABSTRACT Petrol filling stations (PFS) are among those that have high potential of fire hazard due to the dangerous material that they store. Hence their siting should be carried out properly. Their improper siting could lead to disastrous consequences during fire and could cause pollution to surrounding soil and underground water should leakage occur to their underground storage tanks. Therefore, the bjectives of this study is to assist the proper siting of new stations and assess the locationsuitability location of existing petrol filling stations. A suitable petrol filling station siting must incorporate environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable them to be located in safe locations so that no unacceptable risk to people or the environment would exist. In the Surabaya metropolitan area, the growth of motor vehicles is around 12% per year and the total number of cars and motorcycles is up to 1.6 million. Such growth creates the need to establish new petrol filling stations to add to the 90 stations already in existence.
