An Analysis of Site Suitability Analysis for Urban Development in Dindigul District, Tamilnadu –A Geomatic Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Geo Sciences & Remote Sensing - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In the fast developing country like India, Decision making is becoming a big problem, mainly for the development of cities. Site suitability or site analysis is method used in GIS to determine the best place or site for something. This study was conducted to identify suitable sites for urban development in Dindigul, using GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation of slope, road proximity, land use, Aspects, and Hydro Geology factors. Major Spatial Analytical Hierarchy Process method as a commonly use method of compensatory model is a suitable tool for this purpose. The results of the site suitability analysis will produce the most -suitable to least-suitable places for the user consideration. The Dindigul district has only 37% of the suitable land for the development of urban region and majority of land fall in Moderately suitable.
