Overview about GIS multi-criteria spatial analysis for micro hydropower plant site suitability in South Ogan Komering Ulu District, South Sumatera, Indonesia

Morphology in South OKU District is the potential of a micro hydropower plant (MHPP) as an alternative power source. This has not been fully utilized, although many un-electrified villages are several remote areas. Identification planning for MHPP one most critical tasks and requires excellent multi-criteria spatial analysis. GIS analysis have played essential role analyzing suitable locations development. consist detailed investigations ongoing sites suitability specific planning. research aims to overview site based on electricity demands. The data criteria decide best villages, rivers, land use, slope, landslide vulnerability, elevation. All were generated into raster format. Quantitative modeling used AHP method, weighted score determined by considering comparison each criterion. Finally, criterion layer was calculated open-source QGIS create map. field study verified resulting map, there match between preferred survey. results Sungai Are, Sindang Danau, Kisam Tinggi Sub-district
