In the GIS database, the attribute factors are represented as map layers, which contain attribute values
for each pixel in raster data [17]. With regards to the acquired information, there were nine important
criteria in the form of nine GIS-based layers incorporated for ecotourism (Fig. 3). In this process, data ofall selected factors were kept, displayed, and managed individually. These criteria maps were overlaid
together for final suitability classification of the study area for ecotourism.
