Correct Site Selection and right industrial designing are considered as a giant leap in environmental and industrial development in the country and the correct and logical growth of city and rural areas. That’s why in this research the industrial site selection in the province of Ghazvin has been done based on Boolean Algebra in the 1:250000 scale, using map overlaying. Environmental resources were classified analyzed and studied at first and measuring the ecological capacity of the land depending on the specified goal was designed according to the Three Classification Model and done after overlaying the layers in GIS. As a result after removing the preserved area of Bashgol and other areas in which industrial plantation was prohibited, 2 areas with the capacity of 1 and 11 areas with the capacity of 2 were selected. Other areas which were considered as having the capacity of 1 are forests or are being used in dry farming and industrial plantation in these areas is bound to the ministry of agriculture and other related organization’s consent.
