Abstract: The significance of GIS and Remote Sensing techniques and technologies currently in every aspect of human beings day-to-day activities initiated the researcher to conduct this study. Industry is important to enhance the economic level of a given country and GIS and remote sensing technologies would provide a variety of options during site selection process. The overall objective of the study is to identify suitable industrial site location by using Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing based analysis in Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State, Hawassa town. In order to conduct this study, multi criteria evaluation system to identify factors influence during site selection by pair-wise comparison matrix was employed. Nine determining factors/parameters identified in this study to identify suitable site for the industrial establishment. These factors are slope, land use land cover, soil types, distance from geological faults, and proximity to main road, distance from residential area and distance from water bodies. The findings revealed that land use land cover factors and distance from geological faults highly determines the selection for industrial sites; and elevation and slope determines minimum compared with other factors. Majority of the study area (47.5%) is suitable to establish industries and a small portion (0.2%) are less suitable. 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 not fully employed. In order to select suitable sites for the industry, the town administrators should focus on those important parameters by using Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing technologies.

Abstract: Municipal solid waste is a severe environmental concern in emerging countries like India because of its growing population, economic expansion and urbanization. Daily activities generate solid waste, which must be managed to reduce its harmful impact on the environment and human health. As a result, cities are facing serious pollution problems, notably due to gases generated by disposal sites. The current study attempts to locate the best landfill location in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. Many factors are considered while selecting a suitable site, including distance from habitation, water bodies (rivers, drains, canals, and ponds), transportation, agriculture, forest, and ground water table. Geomorphology map, lithology map, soil map, transport map, Land use land cover (LULC) map, water body map, surface water body map, slope map, and ground water map are used to create a site selection for solid waste disposal. The weight overlay analysis (WOA) method is used to do a suitability analysis for waste disposal site selection. Classification of sentinel data, IRS-1C/1D (Indian Remote Sensing Satellites-1C/1D), LISS III (Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor 3), SAS Planet Google data 1 meter resolution, Cartosat-1 2.5 spatial resolution, and Sentinel-2A 10 meter resolution data were used for creation of multiple thematic layers in the study for the selection of a waste disposal site. The study describes the detailed research on site suitability analysis for solid waste disposal in Lucknow city.
