SuitAbility

Two Suitability versions: A geoportal extension for local governments and an R Shiny app for research and innovation

Select the version that best matches your project

The geoportal version was released in 2020. This version was developed as an Oskari extension. This integration has plenty of advantages for teams and local governments. Spatial data can be stored, visualized, and edited in the same application. Users can skip most of the data preprocessing and can collaborate with their teammates or with other working groups, with ease.

The research version is highly customizable, can be used for rapid prototyping, and includes powerful statistical analytics. It aims to boost the research and developer community to design and implement new multicriteria analysis techniques by enabling the incorporation of new methods and easily test them.
