AB  - Development of new wind energy projects require complex planning process 
      involving many social, technical, economic, environmental, political concerns, 
      and different agents such as investors, utilities, governmental agencies, or 
      social groups. The aim of this study is to develop a tool combining Geographic 
      Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies, 
      and its application for Turkey as a case study. A variety of constraints and 
      criteria were identified based on a literature review and regulations gathered 
      from variety of agencies, use of which resulted in determination of infeasible 
      sites. Then, pairwise comparisons were carried out using analytic hierarchy 
      process as the MCDM method to estimate relative importance of the criteria, and 
      to visualize a suitability map with three classes. As the final stage, decision 
      making was carried out based on environmental impact where 45.5% of the Turkish 
      territory was found as infeasible area. Sixty percent of the remaining area are 
      covered by the moderate suitability class, followed by the highly suitable area 
      (20.3%) and low suitable area (19.8%). The output of this study can be used by 
      energy planners to estimate the extent that wind energy can be developed based on 
      public perception, administrative, and environmental aspects.
