Abstract | Suitability analysis is performed to identify sites (usually grid cells or pixels) suitable for a specific purpose so that management decisions can be made in a site-specific manner. However, sites identified as suitable are rarely equally suitable in the real world. Measurement of the degree of site suitability (DoSS) is therefore crucial to be able to manage sites in a truly site-specific manner. Conventionally, site suitability analysis is performed using weighted linear combination (WLC) of standardized input factors within Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Input factors used in such analysis can be standardized in a number of different ways. The method of standardization used in the analysis could have varying effects on the DoSS measurement. However, it is yet to be assessed and quantified. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the effect of various standardization methods on the DoSS measurement. In this study, the DoSS of agricultural field was measured for site-specific application of animal waste as fertilizer. |
