Based on Jerome Dobson’s (1979) and the work of Richard Church (2005), this Masters study aimed to develop a location model using the Spatial Analyst Tool that forms part of the ESRI ArcGIS software.The Agri-processing Location Suitability (ALS) Model developed in this study provided the user with a set of variables that can each be given a different weight to customise the location suitability requirements.
