White area mapping

The white space mapping is a mapping method for detecting a suitable location for a given project. For this purpose, all areas that are unsuitable for the project are colored on a map of the search area. The remaining white areas are suitable for the project.

Areas that meet one or more exclusion criteria are unsuitable. White areas that are too extensive can be narrowed down by tightening the exclusion criteria.

Examples of exclusion criteria are areas around areas with residential development, bodies of water, nature conservation areas, roads, too little distance between the groundwater and the surface, unfavorable traffic conditions, etc.
