years the advancement in computer technology has enabled the process of finding a replacement site more efficient. New software may now be utilized to aid in site selection; such a system is a Geographic Information System (GIS). The Geographic Information System (GIS) requires the user to input relevant spatial and geographic data for the proposed site which can be processed‚ manipulated‚ analyzed and displayed to determine the site’s validity. It is this capability of a GIS that makes it useful for
