Criteria Weights and Map Scores
To determine the relative importance or weights of each individual class with another in each thematic map six importance matrices were prepared by pairwise comparison on Satty’s importance scale. These matrices have the property of consistency known as consistency ratios (CR). Satty indicates that the matrices with CR ratings greater than 0.1 should be re-evaluated. This way it helps to analyse the matrix to determine the inconsistency in defining the interrelationships. The above method was applied to the six matrices to evaluate the individual class weights. These weights were normalised by multiplying with 100 to avoid complexities of computation. The importance matrices and their weights are as follows:

All individual class weights were multiplied with map scores and kept in linear summation equation to result in a unified weight map. This map was classified to get five potential zones from excellent to poor (Fig. 8).
