Site selection for new memorial park using GIS: muslim memorial park

The need for a cemetery (memorial park) is equally important like other needs of basic facilities. When developing a housing area, memorial park aspect has always been left out and has caused problems to the community because the local authority has no proper plan for a cemetery area. In due course,...
