Table 3: The weights of the criteria and sub-criteria according to their importance. When examining this map, it is understood that the suitability decreased towards the outskirts from existing settlements, with the suitability index dropping towards the north of the city. According to the analysis results, it was revealed that areas with very low suitability accounted for the highest proportion in the study area at 30.60% (70,589.34 hectares), which is consistent with the findings of the _Herschel_ and _Herschel_ regions.
