Abstract :

GIS played a vital role in analysing the spatial phenomena and prepare a plan for both present and future. The Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) process is important in selecting suitable sites for any spatial functions. This paper tries to show a site suitability model using the spatial phenomena like settlement, road network, vegetation, water bodies, agriculture and other land uses to determine the suitable site selection for small scale industries based on local resources. It is also vital for the planners and discussion makers for present and future developmental planning.
