GIS Modelling Based Site Analysis for Small and Medium Construction Enterprises in Greater Helsinki Region.
GIS is a powerful technology with a significant potential to store, manipulate and analyze data. This research paper proposes the utilization of GIS technology by small and medium-sized construction enterprise for the purpose of carrying out a suitability analysis of potential construction sites. SMEs are the backbone of 21st economy and the source of income for millions of people employed by them. SMEs are susceptible to failure and face several challenges. One of the challenge SMEs which are involved in real estate face is getting the information to explore a new market. The demand for real estate is influenced by macro-factors such as the general economic condition, interest rates, government policy and, demographic factors. Although it is a complex task to evaluate the correlation between these factors and the demand for real estate it is something SMEs and real estate developers need to do. The capability of GIS to be used for site analysis and identification of suitable sites was demonstrated by using ArcMap 10.5, a GIS Software, for the suitability analysis the greater Helsinki region for real estate development. The researcher of the study was able to perform site analysis which incorporated several factors that drives the demand for real estate and generate detailed maps indicating suitable sites in the greater Helsinki region.
