Suitability analysis allows a user to explore the appropriateness of an area based on a specific set of criteria. This application allows the user to select the individual criteria on which to assess and assign a weight to that criteria by moving the respective slider bar. When you move a slider bar to the right, the areas on the map that are higher in this criteria will be highlighted (i.e., darker hexagons indicate areas of higher suitability). Conversely, this map can also be used to explore areas that are less suitable.
This map was created using OSM and the Uber H3 Hexagonal Geospatial Indexing System, resolution 8.
