| Summary: In today s globalised world, the importance of energy that is considered one of the fundamental needs in human life increases substantially with the effects of technologic improvements. In this regard, the energy that describes as a parameter showing the development of countries is a kind of fact that brings about increasing the number of academic studies in this field. Due to the fact that excessive consumption of non-renewable energy resources and rising expenses, the vast majority of people tend to find new resources day by day. From this perspective, electricity produced from solar energy systems play a key role in supplying energy demand since Turkey is located in a suitable geography to benefit from solar energy systems. In this study, many areas which are appropriate to construct solar energy plants within Malatya province boundaries of Turkey were designated by using GIS technology. From this framework, many effective factors related to the construction of solar energy plants such as insolation potential, sunlight angle, presence of highways and railway, energy transmission line, transformer station, slope, the location of dam and river, natural gas pipeline, fault line, current settlement were generated and then a weighting analysis was carried out in accordance with the parameters classified. Besides, the importance of each level was calculated with the help of Analytical Hierarchy Method. After all these processes, a map which demonstrates the optimal locations of solar energy plants created via GIS techniques was presented for Malatya province of Turkey.Keywords: Solar Energy Plant (SEP), choice of the most suitable area, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Malatya | |||||||||||||||||||||
