selecting sites for wind farm in the study area is a complex process involving not only technical but also physical, economical, social and environmental considerations. This study focuses on mapping wind farm suitability in Adama Woreda. The major data used were topographic map (1:50,000), Landsat image (2005), and GIS data layers such as roads, towns, transmission line, geology, land use and slope. The factors were developed in the GIS and Remote Sensing environment then weighted and overlaid by the principle of pairwise comparison. Once the wind farm suitability map has been completed,...
