N2  - A major problem facing many Third World countries is the  potential adverse effects of industrial development. This problem  has arisen, partially because of the lack of readily available  and applicable analytical techniques to identify these negative  effects in the initial planning stages of industrial development  projects.  Since most Third World countries cannot afford expensive curative  approaches for environmental problems, this thesis is of value,  in that it provides a preventive planning approach to overcome  the above problem. Proper environmental analysis and planning in  the earl y stages of industrial development can pay high returns  in the future if costly curative measures can be avoided.  This study, focusing on a proposed industrial development project  in the Batangas Province of the Philippines, demonstrates the  application of a comprehensive environmental analysis framework  through the use of a computer-based Geographic Information System  to :  a) Compile an environmental information data base  b) Identify suitable sites for industrial development  c) Identify potential conflicts and problems between  industrial development and the environment  The framework developed in this stud y could be a useful planning  tool for the site selection of industrial development projects in  t he Third World
