Abstract: Construction of a new industrial zone is a major long-term investment, determining the suitable location is critical point to success or failure of industrial zone. The significance of AHP and Geospatial technology presently in every aspect of human beings day to day activities initiated the project to conduct this study. Industry zone is important to enhance the economic level of a given country and GIS and remote sensing technologies would provide a variety of options during suitable site selection process. The main objective of the study is to identify suitable industrial zone with list these criteria based on parameters by using AHP and Geospatial techniques. Determining factors/parameters identified in this study to identify suitable site for the industrial establishment. Some of the main factors were slope, land use land cover, road network, drainage density, aspect, contour. The findings revealed that land use land cover factors highly determine the selection for industrial sites; and slope determines minimum compared with other factors. Majority of the study area (20.5%)are high suitable (47.5%) is suitable to establish industries,15% moderately suitable and a small portion (9.5%)are less suitable and 7.5% unsuitable for industrial Conducting environmental impact assessment prior to establishing industries in the study area was not fully covered by the concerned government organization. Application of GIS and Remote Sensing technologies in the study area is partially employed. In order to select suitable sites for the industry, the town administrators should focus on those important parameters by using Geospatial techniques. Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP) is one of the best additive decision analysis methods which is used in many of real world problems as well as non-spatial problems. segregating complex problems to simple and easy form by hierarchy or levels and then integrating with mathematical computation for pair wise comparison and normalization which results in priority vectors also known to be criteria weights.
