Site Suitability Analysis is the process of determining the best or most appropriate area for particular use. GIS programs can examine and combine data from many sources to determine the area most suited by narrowing down locations to specific criteria. This process is useful in determining building sites such as schools, shopping centers, and any building project. Site Suitability Analysis can be used for much more than determining the appropriate site for a building. In marketing it could be used to narrow demographics for certain products and services. Another use would be to provide information for social programs or health agencies. Below I have included two links to show Site Suitability Analysis in action. The first link is to Flo Analytics a company that uses GIS to provide solutions for companies, governments and social organizations. By examining some of their projects you will get a better idea of Site Suitability Analysis many real-world applications. https://www.flo-analytics.com/services/
The next link shows how Site Suitability Analysis was used in planing urban services in India. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2226585617301231
