Abstract :
During the planning of urban area economic and social factor are consider
planning. Future growth of economic is depend on infra-structure development and
utility. Finding appropriate site for development in hilly area facing the problem and
difficulty for planning and implementation. Appropriate site analysis is providing sure
skeleton for conducting various development, particularly in the rising and falling
ground associated with the hills with helping of geographic information system and
multicriteria evaluation technique to find appropriate site for development in Navi
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. In this process of site selection some thematic maps
layers are prepared using ArcGIS software. Site selection Standards use for analysis
such as slope, land use /land cover map, road proximity, digital elevation, flood map
and rainfall map. Category weight is given according to importance and maps were
convert into raster. Weights overlay in give all importance to each category then
process to preparation suitable site selection map for development. Using all maps
prepare suitable site selection map is created. It is essential for designing spatial
analysis map for taking any decision relating to development in which remote sensing
facilitate important role. This study is useful for planner, public and other agency for
planning project and implementations in area
