The purpose of this study is to search for location potential in Busan metropolitan city and to support decision-making in land use policy. As basis work for the analysis of the location potential, we build rank-map database by using the 11 index. And then by using rank-map, we carried out the location potential ($P_i$) analysis. As a result, we found that many commercial use located in Rank 1 to 2. Also, Rank 4-7 must be made an un-commercial use in assignment of land use zone. These data can be effectively used for land use plan in Busan metropolitan city as the basis data.
