CONCLUSION
Applying GIS approaches to the site suitability analysis made the
selection of the land process precise and allowed the detailed analysis
for the socioeconomic and environmental factors for the selected study
area. The results are satisfactory and suggest that the site suitability
analysis using the ESRI ArcGIS, and predetermined criteria, the
assessment can be done precisely within time limitations. Furthermore,
with the use of spatial analyst tools such as slope and aspect, degree
of the angle can be easily identified for the required site.
The site suitability analysis methodology can be refined and used for
the large-scale application for the urban planning and land management.
The study highlighted the significance of the using latest data for
creating the site suitability map and combining the map with the Google
Earth map, the most precise results can be produced. With additional
data and accurate analysis, sites could be reclassified according to the
accessibility, resources availability, production consequences and waste
management approaches. Considering the current land management and
conservation approaches, factors such as, environment and social
sustainability would be vital for the accessibility of the fresh,
healthy and affordable meat production.
