Below is a map comparison of two weighted suitability analysis. To complete this analysis, I used pre-determined suitability criteria for land cover, soil type, slope, proximity to roads and proximity to rivers. The image on the right uses an equal weight analysis, and the image on the right favors appropriate slope, soils, and land cover, with slope being the most important factor. All files were converted to raster files and reclassified with the pre-determined criteria in order to create an apples to apples comparison.
The most favorable location are those close to water and roads, with a gentle slope and grassland or agriculture as the current land cover.
