Abstract: This research aims to analyze the sites of construction industries in the study area and assess the spatial suitability for the purpose of expanding the scope of construction industries to meet the needs of the local market in the future and avoid randomness in choosing industrial sites and the optimal use of natural resources through a spatial analytical methodology through the preservation of natural resources represented by agricultural lands , Mineral resources, and the lack of expansion of the sites of construction industries at their expense, and how to assess the spatial suitability of the construction industries, since the province of Dhi Qar occupies a unique position in the middle of the sites of raw materials, which contributes to the trend to expand these industries in the governorate and avoid random and irregular distribution, taking into account the increase The population and the absorption of the market need as a result of this increase, which requires taking into account the spatial appropriateness, and based on these data, the spatial suitability for the expansion of construction industries has been assessed for the purpose of expanding them for the future period in the most appropriate areas by studying the influencing and affected factors and analyzing the impact of these factors spatially and evaluating them through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Bo The method of applying the spatial analyst and conducting the weighted overlay process by giving weights to the factors affecting the expansion of construction industries The extent of availability of their components in the governorate where the results appeared that suggest several sites for the expansion of construction industries in the governorate appeared in the form of regions according to the nature and requirements Environmental and spatial for each of the construction industries.
