For allowing the integrated analysis of a substantial amount of spatial geographic information, the computational geographic tools of geographic information systems, enable the expansion of areas of research in identifying areas favorable to the use of renewable natural resources, from prospective studies, quantitative criteria have been established that allowed to list those areas in degree of attractiveness. This technique allows us to identify and rank the most promising areas and eliminate the areas that have a number of restrictions that
