Methodology
•
•
•
The required criteria for the objectives
have been considered during the
Remote Sensing and GIS analysis.
The diagnostic factors considered for
suitability assessment for different vital
activities depending on their respective
parameters
The land suitability map was prepared
to identify the suitable area for each
activity
