Land suitability analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) for sustainable land development in Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia

Three (3) satellite images (2004, 2014, and 2022) were processed and analysed using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to obtain the land use types. The land suitability parameters were chosen based on population density and landscape factors such as slope, land use, elevation, and distance from...
